Does God Exist?
Lots of people around the world are confused about how it all actually began. A lot of people suggest that there is an immortal God who created everything including man and animals. In this essay I am going to discuss the different ways people have tried to prove God's existence and the arguments which imply that there is no such being as God.
Different people have different views on the existence of God. People who believe in a God that is all powerful (Omni Potent), all loving (Omni benevolent) and all knowing (Omni Siant) are called Theists.

If he cannot stop the evil, then he cannot be all powerful. If he doesn't know about the evil, then he cannot be all knowing, and if he won't stop the evil, then he is not all loving. And without one of these characteristics, God...
