Can we prove the existence of God? You need to draw a continuum line on your table. You need to write each bullet point (on next slide) on a post it note and briefly give one or two facts about it Decide as a group where you want to place each post it note on your continuum line We can prove the existence of God We cannot prove the existence of God

‘It is impossible for humans to prove that God exists.’ Do you agree? On the one hand it is impossible to try to prove that God exists as God is transcendent. This means that he is beyond space and time and has no limits. Consequently due to this he is so far beyond human understanding that it is impossible to prove his existence so therefore there is no point in trying. Alternatively, God has created us as intelligent beings and we can therefore use this intelligence to its full capability by trying to prove his existence. This is demonstrated by Thomas Aquinas’ First Cause argument, which states that everything has a cause and this cannot go back to infinity so there must be an uncaused first cause which is God. As this is a logical argument it demonstrates humans can use their ability to try and prove God. In conclusion I believe that it is impossible to prove God so instead people should just have faith in God. Faith is a leap into the unknown and if we had definitive proof it would remove our freewill and the genuine choice that God wants us to have about his existence. 1 mark for a simple point 2 mark for developing the point 3rd mark for another simple point 4th mark for developing the point 5th mark for a balanced answer with developed reference to religion 6th mark for a well argued response
