MY FIRST PHILOSOPHICAL EXPERIENCE ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
I remember taking my first philosophy class in year one when my lecturer asked a general question about the existence of God. The question made me angry and sad as I thought in my mind if it was right for me to take the course, but I had no choice because it wasn’t optional. As time went on, the course began to interest me. I started sitting at the front row and in no time my mentality about the existence of God began to change. I began to ask myself if God really existed and if he did, I needed evidence to prove this.
As time went on, I began to gather up evidence about God’s existence but the ones I gathered such as the ones my parents passed to me and also the general knowledge I acquired about His existence wasn’t strong enough. This new belief prompted me in asking my mum silly questions such as: if God really existed and if He did, I needed her to prove it to me. This question of mine really angered my mum as she shouted at me and asked if I was ok. But deep down in me, I knew I made my mum sad and unhappy because she started acting strangely and I knew she wondered if I belonged to a society in school that was influencing my thoughts.
I was also unhappy seeing my mum this way and I asked myself if I was on the right idea. I needed more evidence if I was to prove my mum wrong. I spent almost all of my time searching for stuff on the internet, but what I was able to gather proved to me that God existed.
The universe had a start which only a supreme being could have caused. Scientists are convinced that the universe began with one mighty explosion known as the Big Bang. The universe for sure had a start which no scientist has an explanation for.
The universe is being ordered by natural laws. Although I admit I don't know a lot about natural laws, I was able to figure out that these natural laws didn't just spring up from the air. These laws came from somewhere, if I did believe in "right and wrong," who then gave me the conscience and of what use then does it exist?
Lastly, I figured out God existed because He is constantly seeking for everyone. I began to feel His love and soon I was just so amazed when I finally proved to myself that He did existed.
