Today we will talk about whether it is possible to prove whether God and the devil exist or not, about the most striking evidence of the existence of dark and light forces, about what God and the devil look like and what they are like. In our article you will receive proof of the existence of God and the devil.

Before you start reading this article, answer yourself the question - Do you believe in God or not? If you believe it, then why? How do you know He exists? If you don’t believe, then how can you be sure that God does not exist? What evidence do you think exists for the existence or, conversely, absence of God?

Now let’s think a little about the meaninglessness of the devil’s existence without God and vice versa.

All people are divided into several categories: those who believe in God; those who do not believe in God; those who believe in God sometimes...

Why am I not talking about the devil now and about those who believe only in him? Because the existence of the devil without God is absurd, few people believe in the devil without believing in God, except that there are those who recognize the power of the devil, for example, the same magicians, sorcerers, psychics. And they believe in God, in their own way... sort of like “even the demons believe and tremble,” but they still choose the dark power.

If the devil existed without God (even theoretically, without evidence), then our earth would have been dead long ago, like us, or other unfavorable forecasts... And so, as many believers assume, people are the “battlefield” for finding out relations and competitions between God and the devil, who will “entice the people” more, which side you take - you are the warrior, etc., can be called not a battlefield, but more softly, loyally, correctly, but the essence of this is not particularly will change.

Even the short stay of Adam and Eve in Paradise (when everything was fine with people and only God existed for them) quickly ended, because this competition between God and the devil was about to begin, where people, it turns out, are pawns. It ended rhetorically: they say, man himself turned out to be so down-to-earth and sinful that he fell for the snake’s tales and ate the forbidden fruit... And this duality of human nature is inherent in everyone forever and from birth, and everyone eats this forbidden fruit - so if not for Adam and Eva, we would do it.

But the paradox, according to the same Bible, is that in man himself there is both light and dark - a craving for the divine and earthly, sinful, and these two natures are always fighting, which one will prevail, that is, which one the person himself will choose - on the side of those he turns out to be strong. According to the theory of Christianity, everything begins with a person’s choice, and even though we are pawns in a game of two forces, we are capable of choosing.

There are 7 million people on earth (already more), everyone has their own opinion about whether there is a God and a devil or not, everyone has their own version of evidence on this topic. Let's look at the main popular ones, and then the more subjective ones.

From the point of view of science, there is not a single reliable confirmation of the existence of God, moreover, there is not even a clear definition of who God is. There are only arguments of philosophers and psychologists.

So, for example, morality did not come out of nowhere: “In our conscience there is an unconditional demand for the moral law. Morality is from God."

“From the observation that most people follow certain moral laws, that is, they are aware of what is good and what is bad, a conclusion is drawn about the existence of objective morality, but since good people commit bad deeds, and bad people are capable of good ones, a source of morality independent of man is needed. It concludes that the source of objective morality can only be a supreme being, that is, God.

The fact that a person has a moral law - conscience (which differs from earthly laws only in greater accuracy and inexorability), and an internal conviction of the need for the ultimate triumph of justice, indicates the existence of a legislator. Torment of conscience sometimes leads to the fact that the criminal, having the opportunity to hide his crime forever, comes and announces himself.”

Conscience is one of the most striking proofs of the existence of God... No matter how paradoxical it may sound, it is precisely with the sprouts of divine power embedded within each person that the desire to do good more than evil is born in us; if the opposite happens for someone, then they say that he buried his conscience.

From the point of view of scientists, not everything is so simple... he “buried” his conscience... For example, Erich Fromm (German sociologist) argued that the predominance of the craving for evil begins when a person kills his love for life, this happens for various reasons, one of which is psychotrauma, but this switch is turned by the person himself, sometimes he is able to stop, but often he does not.

Cosmological argument for the existence of God (from Wikipedia):

“Everything must have a reason. The chain of reasons cannot be endless; there must be the very first reason. The first cause is most often called “God” by some.

It is found, in part, already in Aristotle, who distinguished the concepts of being contingent and necessary, conditional and unconditional, and declared the need to recognize, among the relative causes, the first principle of any action in the world.

Avicenna mathematically formulated the cosmological argument for the existence of God as the single and indivisible cause of all things. A very similar rationale is given by Thomas Aquinas as a second proof of the existence of God, although his formulation is not as strict as that of Avicenna. This proof was subsequently simplified and formalized by William Hatcher.

The cosmological argument looks something like this:

Every thing in the universe has its cause outside itself (children have their cause in their parents, parts are made in a factory, etc.);

The universe, as consisting of things having their cause outside themselves, must itself have its cause outside itself;

Since the universe is matter existing in time and space and possessing energy, it follows that the cause of the universe must be outside these four categories.

Therefore, there is an immaterial cause of the Universe, not limited by space and time, not possessing energy.

Conclusion: God exists. From the third point it follows that he is an immaterial spirit, outside of space (that is, omnipresent), outside of time (eternal), and does not depend on energy (omnipotent).”

In general, someone created the Universe, us, forests, trees, rivers, lakes, fish, insects, etc. They couldn't come from nowhere. And the most likely assumption for the appearance of all this is God. Why did He create all this - as an option - assumptions at the beginning of the article. Maybe he was bored in this empty Universe, so he created the crown of creation - man, in order to compete with the proud angel Lucifer.

from Islamic theology: “In the light of the Big Bang theory, the cosmological argument is as follows:

Everything that ever happened has a reason

The universe appeared

Therefore, the Universe has a cause."

This also includes paradigms about eternity, existence and non-existence... In addition to mortal existence and our temporary shell, there is something else, and, perhaps, many understand and feel this, but, unfortunately, the vanity of this world drowns out the call to the eternal within a person. However, the soul is also eternal, as many who have visited the Other World testify, and our planet exists for many centuries, perhaps millions of years... but human life lasts only tens of years.

What is inside a person, if you look deep into yourself, does not agree with the fact that “there was a man and there is no man and there are no traces of him,” I want to believe that there is a continuation of life, I don’t want to believe that our soul will ever stop our existence as if we never existed..

And this is already a paradox: where does this come from in us? Where does this desire for eternity come from?

The theological argument for the existence of God assumes that the world is too complex to arise on its own and if there is a clock that runs, then there must be a watchmaker who created it. Scientists, deriving formulas about the complexity of the world, came to the conclusion that there must certainly exist, if not God, then a Supreme Mind for sure. In Kabbalah he is called the Great Architect, in Islam Allah, in Buddhism Buddha, etc. But the source of everything is a certain deity - this is the answer of many not only philosophers and humanists, but also scientists.

Faith could not come out of nowhere as an independent desire for some newly invented God; it is embedded in the human psyche from the womb. A person not only needs to believe in something, it is vitally important for a person to believe in something, replacing at least some kind of surrogate for the craving for God as the creator. Therefore, all the smaller semblances of faith in God are only compensation for the lack of a person’s connection with God.

There is not a single country, not a single city in the world without religion, without a temple - this already says a lot.

According to Plutarch: “Go around all countries, and you can find cities without walls, without writing, without rulers, without palaces, without wealth, without coins, but no one has ever seen a city devoid of temples and gods, a city in which prayers were sent, they did not swear in the name of the deity.”

“The fact that a person is drawn to God, feels the need for religious worship, indicates that the Divine really exists; that which does not exist does not attract. F. Werfel said: “Thirst is the best proof of the existence of water.”

The religious argument, despite criticism from scientists, is one of the most striking proofs of the existence of God for believers. Relics of saints, exorcism of demons, drops of blood on the shroud, visions in the process of clinical death in reality, other languages ​​- prayer in other languages, etc. All this, according to believers, came from nothing other than directly from God...

There is still a long list of evidence and arguments for the existence of God, but there is not a single reliable and indisputable proof. For all existing evidence there are refutations, doubts and other versions.

God gave us the biggest mystery - himself... As if leaving the choice for everyone whom He created, to believe in Him or not...

And if everything were obvious, then there would no longer be God.

What does the Bible say about God? Yes, in fact, the entire Bible is a divinely inspired book, which means that it was written by people who dedicated themselves to God and were in His will; through all the messages these people tell us something important, that is, in essence, God speaks through them.

“The Bible says about the incomprehensible and incorporeal God the Father:

You cannot see My face, because man cannot see Me and live (Ex. 33.20).

And it is also said: no one has ever seen God; The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has revealed (John 1.18).

In the book of the prophet David, the Psalms, there are approximately the following words: The fool said in his heart: “There is no God” (Ps. 13.1).”

The Bible also says that God is love, God is spirit, God is triune...

Why has no one ever seen God in real form? There are versions that a person is too unclean to touch and come so close to such a holy image as God, moreover, God is associated with light and fire, and can both be transformed into a shell and be a spirit, but a person can go blind when looking at Him , burn, etc.

But there was one unconditional appearance of God to people according to the Bible - this is Jesus Christ, who brought salvation to the world. And Christ embodied the essence of God on earth. But it seems like people saw God... well, what did they do with him?? Crucified...

A few words about the devil. Even if we assume without question that the devil exists, what do you think he looks like? A devil with horns and glowing eyes? People often think that this is some kind of image from horror films... In fact, the devil is an angel who has stumbled (proud of his beauty and intelligence), angels are ethereal beings and they are lower in rank than people. The question that will remain eternal: why then does this angry angel, who is simply a ministering spirit, keep the whole earth in fear and dominate people? There is no clear answer...

The devil uses people to fulfill his goals. And his goal is the destruction of everything that God created. He cannot create anything new, remember “The Master and Margarita” (novel)? The devil only copies the actions of God, only with a minus sign, the devil is a magician, an illusionist. To lure a person into his network, he offers temporary benefits, that is, he creates evil through good.

The evidence for his existence is as uncertain as the arguments for the existence of God, but the question of the existence of the devil is not as popular as the question of the life of God. Probably because the devil is a figure dependent on God, and yet this is a very dark niche into which you should not go unnecessarily.

Magicians, healers, sorcerers, psychics know very well, even if they tell you fairy tales, that for the use of their power they pay a certain price and this price is the sale of the soul to the devil... Of course, while they are alive there is always a chance to repent, but while they are alive.

Even if you don’t say the word “devil”, you can safely say that there is some negative energy, there is evil in the end, there are troubles, tragedies, there is death, illness, suffering, which is clearly not from God... According to the Bible - after the Fall, the earth was given over to the power of the devil, the earth is cursed, therefore everything on it is mortal, perishable, including human flesh.

Poltergeists, fever from demonic possession, ghosts, monsters in the night - these are “little flowers” ​​compared to the real capabilities of the devil if people are in his power. For example, Hitler is the embodiment of the devil on earth, one of the incarnations...

Summing up the article, I would like to say that there is no unambiguous evidence of the existence of God for crafty minds, however, just as there is no affirmative evidence of the absence of God...

But still, if there is no God, then, in essence, man is an “incomprehensible little animal”, created incomprehensibly by whom, incomprehensibly for what...

Everyone makes their own choice to accept the available evidence as sufficient or to reject it.

In May 2014, I planned a prank for my husband, who was hooked on GP fanfiction. If they had told me then that this would turn into a 5.5-year-long story, the turtle would have thought hard about whether to start.
But last night I got an epilogue and a final point.
1261 KB/188,293 words/1291 thousand characters/590 pages
Main man, from whom it all began, for whom it all began and without whom nothing would have happened - this is: husband, beta, gamma and co-author. I'm sorry I was so touchy and unbearable. Thank you for sticking it out.
My friends, who are in real life, and now also here:
- you know everything yourself) There was not a single chapter that you missed. She always sent me the kindest, most inspiring words! Thank you!
! Sorry for luring you in. Thank you for sharing this story with us)

Fanfiction in general and fanfiction in particular introduced me to people of amazing generosity, intelligence and patience. Just imagine that some of the commentators who came in the first days after publication remained with us for all these many years!
– fanfic has been speaking in her voice for a long time, and on New Year our house smells like real Christmas England, because Razgulyaya sends delicious goodies and cute handicraft joys. If she is not a sorceress, then wizards definitely do not exist)
– when I was still a little intimidated yasha, boldly pretending to be a seasoned writer, it was Spider’s comments that instilled in me faith in success. Even though we communicate less often now, and the password for the account is completely lost, but I remember everything and keep it in my heart)
- persistent and unbending, defending the author even when it was worth giving a kick in the ass, and wise, because a kick would not have helped, but her conscience tormented her and forced her to write further))
– I remember that your recommendation was the first)
, , ... - purr! Thank you!
And in general, our entire SOCIAL circle, you are so cool!
Artists: , Laite, Ormona, – each art is a small miracle!
– the guy who accounts for most of the fanfic mentions on blogs and exclusively in a positive way). A person who never tires of repeating to future readers that Snager is not a diagnosis yet))) Thank you!
Stern Evgeniy, who seemed to be praising, but tormented our team with riveting questions, at the same time indelicately pointing his finger at “girly” phrases and demanding the eternal “show, don’t describe.” I was angry, but I remembered, and quietly crossed out and replaced what I actually agreed with. And then he wrote a cool recommendation, I was so stunned!
And in general, all the authors of recommendations are great! Each one is worth its weight in gold. I re-read them regularly, really, really)))
*whispers* And if it seems to you that other authors of recommendations have said everything, and you shouldn’t write it anymore, then you are wrong, because the author is like a niffler, only based on reviews and recommendations)))
To everyone who commented a lot and in detail, or sometimes a little at a time, or silently took the fanfic into the collection, or wrote in a personal message, or simply silently subscribed, or just silently read - my deep gratitude and appreciation to everyone!
Hurray, fireworks and cookies! And it seems the time has come for this picture from Toblerone (and thanks to her too!)
