Changes

[[Theology|Theologians]] have ascribed a variety of attributes to the various conceptions of God.  The most common among these include [[omniscience]], [[omnipotence]], [[omnipresence]], perfect [[goodness]], divine [[simplicity]], and eternal and necessary existence. God has also been conceived as being [[Corporeal|incorporeal]], a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent". These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the early [[Judaism|Jewish]], [[Christianity|Christian]] and [[Islam|Muslim]] theologian philosophers, including [[Augustine of Hippo]], Many notable [[Medieval philosophy|medieval philosophers]] developed arguments for the existence of God, attempting to wrestle with the apparent contradictions implied by many of these attributes.  Philosophers have developed many arguments for and against the existence of God.

== Conceptions of God ==

== Conceptions of God ==

Conceptions of God vary widely.  Theologians and philosophers have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of [[civilization]]. The Abrahamic conceptions of God include the trinitarian view of Christians, the Kabbalistic definition of Jewish mysticism, and the Islamic concept of God. The dharmic religions differ in their view of the [[divine]], ranging from the almost polytheistic view of God in Hinduism to the almost non-theist view of God in Buddhism. In modern times, some more abstract concepts have been developed, such as [[process theology]] and [[open theism]].  Conceptions of God held by individual believers vary so widely that there is no clear consensus on the nature of God.

== Existence of God ==

Many arguments for and against the existence of God have been proposed and rejected by philosophers, theologians, and other thinkers.  In [[Philosophy|philosophical]] terminology, such arguments concern schools of thought on the [[epistemology]] or the [[ontology]] of God.

Many arguments for and against the existence of God have been proposed and rejected by philosophers, theologians, and other thinkers.  In [[Philosophy|philosophical]] terminology, such arguments concern schools of thought on the [[epistemology]] or the [[ontology]] of God.

There are many philosophical issues concerning the existence of God. Some definitions of God are so nonspecific that it is certain that ''something'' exists that meets the definition; while other definitions are apparently self-contradictory. Arguments for the existence of God typically include metaphysical, empirical, inductive, and subjective types. Arguments against the existence of God typically include empirical, deductive, and inductive types. Conclusions reached include: "God exists and this can be proven"; "God exists, but this cannot be proven or disproven" (theism in both cases); "God does not exist" (strong atheism); "God almost certainly does not exist"[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-dawkins/why-there-almost-certainl_b_32164.html] (''de facto'' atheism); and "no one knows whether God exists" (agnosticism). There are numerous variations on these positions.

A recent argument for the  existence of God is called ''intelligent design'', which asserts that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."  It is a modern form of the traditional argument from design, modified to avoid specifying the nature or identity of the designer.

Many historians of religion hold that monotheism may be of relatively recent historical origins — although comparison is difficult as many religions claim to be ancient. Native religions of China and India have concepts of [[panentheism|panentheistic]] views of God that are difficult to classify along Western notions of monotheism vs. polytheism.

In the Ancient Near East, many cities had their own local god, although this henotheistic worship of a single god did not imply denial of the existence of other gods. The Hebrew Ark of the Covenant is supposed (by some scholars) to have adapted this practice to a [[nomad]]ic lifestyle, paving their way for a singular God. Yet, many scholars now believe that it may have been the [[Zoroastrian]] religion of the [[Persian Empire]] that was the first monotheistic religion, and the Jews were influenced by such notions (this controversy is still being debated).

The innovative cult of the Egyptian solar god [[Aten]] was promoted by the [[pharaoh]] [[Akhenaten]] (Amenophis IV), who ruled between 1358 and 1340 BC. The Aten cult is often cited as the earliest known example of monotheism, and is sometimes claimed to have been a formative influence on early Judaism, due to the presence of Hebrew slaves in Egypt. But even though [[Akhenaten]]'s hymn to Aten offers strong evidence that Akhenaten considered Aten to be the sole, omnipotent creator, Akhenaten's program to enforce this monotheistic world-view ended with his death; the worship of other gods beside Aten never ceased outside his court, and the older polytheistic religions soon regained precedence.

There is a lack of consensus as to the appropriate scientific treatment of religious questions, such as those of the existence, [[nature]] and properties of God—mainly because of the lack of a common definition of God.  A major point of debate has been whether God's existence or attributes can be empirically tested or gauged.

[http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ Stephen Jay Gould] proposed an approach dividing the world of [[philosophy]] into what he called "non-overlapping magisteria" (NOMA).  In this view, questions of the [[supernatural]], such as those relating to the [[existence]] and [[nature]] of God, are non-[[empirical]] and are the proper domain of [[theology]]. The methods of [[science]] should then be used to answer any empirical question about the natural world, and [[theology]] should be used to answer questions about ultimate [[meaning]] and moral [[value]]. The lack of any empirical footprint from the magisterium of the supernatural onto natural events makes science the sole player in the natural world.  Another view, advanced by [http://richarddawkins.net/ Richard Dawkins], is that the existence of God is an empirical question, on the grounds that "a universe with a god would be a completely different kind of universe from one without, and it would be a scientific difference."[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-dawkins/why-there-almost-certainl_b_32164.html]  A third view is that of [[scientism]]: any question which cannot be defined can not be answered by science and is therefore either nonsensical or is not worth asking, on the grounds that only empirically answerable questions make sense and are worth attention.

GOD is a [[words|word]] [[symbols|symbol]] designating all personalizations of [[Deity]].
