I wonder...

I stumbled across this video on YouTube and I thought it was pretty interesting. I have often wondered about many of these questions myself, and everything that this person is stating makes sense. However, I never thought to really seek out any solutions because I believed that my faith in the Bible was sufficient. In a way Descartes is kind of defending his view on God based on his own faith as well. He believes that he owes his existence to the state of perfection, a quality that is possessed solely by God, and because God exists, we exist. A concept that I am not entirely sure I agree with.

I wonder, if Descartes were alive today, how he would respond to these atheistic claims. How can a God so perfect allow all these terrible things on earth to happen? I think this is a question that many people, Christian and non-Christian alike, are struggling to find an answer to. It is hard to have a firm stance on an issue when there are so many convincing opposing arguments. How is it possible to prove or disprove any of these statements? I'm still not quite sure how to even prove my own existence, let alone the existence of the world around me and how it came to be. Maybe there are just some things that we will find out when we get to heaven, if heaven even exists.
