What reasons might she have given to explain why she thinks that God doesn’t exist? What arguments can you think of? Is there a God?

Arguments Against God’s Existence Learning Objective: What are the arguments against God’s existence?

Jonathan Edwards Read through the article about Jonathan Edwards... 1)Use the skills of skimming and scanning to find the key information from the article. 2)How have his beliefs changed? 3)What questions would you ask him?

Mitchell and Webb Show You have been invited to appear on the Mitchell and Webb show where they will be asking the Big Question ‘Is there a God’. You will be on the side that argues there is no God. You will need to use the quotes in your pack to help form a speech to deliver on the programme. You will need to explain why the argument proves that God doesn’t exist and give your own examples to support your point.

Speech Starters The argument that I think is the most convincing is... This proves God doesn’t exist because.... An example to support this is... Another argument that proves God doesn’t exist is... This is because... An example to support this is... Finally, I am arguing that God doesn’t exist because.... An example to support this is... Therefore, (give a summary sentence)

Or we could use this proof there is no God...

Why believers need faith not proof If there was proof that God existed we would lose our human freedom. This is because, we would have no choice but to do as God tells us, as we would not want to throw away life in heaven. So, we have to be able to choose for ourselves whether to follow or reject God, and so accept the consequences of our decision. God would not want us to be puppets. Do you have any thoughts on this?

So Does God Exist? Now that you have looked at the arguments for and against God’s existence, do you think that God exists? Vote with your feet God does exist God does not exist God might exist
