Human minds seem to have almost exhausted their reasoning powers in producing all kinds of arguments that can be given both for and against the existence of God. For hundreds of years philosophers, scientists, and theologians among all nations have been bringing forward proofs either to show that there is such a Being as God or to deny His existence entirely. Of course most of the arguments and proofs in favor of the existence of God are convincing to those who already have some sort of belief in the Creator or some conception of the Supreme Being. If we have been brought up in an atmosphere where there prevails a belief in God as the Creator and Ruler of the universe or as an extra-mundane Being who, dwelling outside of nature, command everything and directs the movements of the world, then unconsciously we breathe in and imbibe that behef from our childhood, and as we grow older we accept all the arguments and evidences that we can find in support of this preconceived idea. If we have already a conception of God as the First Cause, then all the inductions and inferences which maintain that idea will naturally appeal to us and we shall take them for granted.
