   Oct 6, 2023 · At this point, the reader may wonder if the Advatin account of ‘God’ entails a decrement of meaning in life. There is in fact a burgeoning discussion on whether the existence of (the Abrahamic) God would detract from meaning.

   Formally, we could express the argument as such: (1) If God existed, he would desire, be able, and know how to prevent the evil of the world. (2) If God desired, was able, and knew how to prevent the evil of the world, the evil of the world would not exist. (3) But the evil of the world does exist.

   • “I say, no one can disprove God exists.” There are two things wrong here. First, it is not clear that this is true. It might actually be possible to prove that God does not exist.
   • “For 2500 years, The Bible had it right and science had it wrong.” Josh’s argument to this conclusion is that, while scientists thought that the universe had always existed (they accepted The Steady State theory which says that the universe has an infinite past), the Bible maintained that it had a beginning.
   • God Is Why There Is Something, Rather Than Nothing. To make this argument, Josh says “In the real world, we never see things jumping into existence out of nothingness, but atheists want to make one small exception to this rule: namely, the universe and everything in it.”
   • God Does Not Need an Explanation Because He Is Eternal. Josh presents this argument in reply to a student who quotes Dawkins: “[I]n his book, The God Delusion , Richard Dawkins says that if you tell me God created the universe then I have the right to ask you who created God.”

   I saw that argument on this subreddit multiple times already and every time when theists try to prove God by saying "this uncaused cause must be God" it doesnt say anything specific about God so consequently the word"God" looses its meaning inside of this argument.

   Summary. This Element critically explores the potential relevance of God or a soul for life's meaning as discussed in recent Anglo-American philosophical literature. There have been four broad views: God or a soul is necessary for meaning in our lives; neither is necessary for it; one or both would greatly enhance the meaning in our lives; one ...

   What if God is omnipotent and omnibenevolent?

   • So more precisely, (2) claims that if God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then no individual human life is completely devoid of meaning, even if a given life might have less meaning than another life.

   Can God create meaningless life?

   • For if God could be the only thing that could give our lives meaning, but God could not be the source of the meaning of life, as we argued above, then our lives do not have meaning. And since God could not create meaningless human life, God cannot exist.

   Is life meaningless if God does not exist?

   • Some theists think that life is meaningless if God does not exist because they think God has a purpose for their life, and that it is only through a divinely selected purpose that a person’s life could have a meaning. Essentially, they suggest, a person’s life can have meaning only if God gives it one.

   What is the relationship between God and the meaning of life?

   • Logically speaking, there are only so many positions one can take on the relationship between God and the meaning of life. One might claim that (a) God exists or (b) God does not exist. And given (a) or (b), one might claim that (c) life has meaning or (d) life is meaningless.

   Does life have meaning if God exists?

   • It does not seem implausible that some people, e.g., John Wayne Gacy, have lived lives that lack such an “appropriate” meaning. Furthermore, some claim that our lives could have meaning only if God exists. Indeed, sometimes theists make this claim, and then argue that since life has meaning, God exists.

   Is God the source of the meaning of life?

   • So the idea that God is the source of the meaning of life is problematic, even for theists, because it seems to entail either that (a) God does not exist or (b) we might as well be indifferent to religion. Consider Divine Command Theory (DCT): moral facts are (somehow) reducible to God’s commands.

   Jul 29, 2015 · This paper concerns the relationship between God and the meaning of life. We argue for the following two conditional claims: (1) if God exists, then all lives have meaning. However, (2) if any life has meaning, then God is not the source of this meaning (even if God exists); i.e., God-based approaches to the meaning of life are problematic.
