In my opinion, God probably does exist, and I want to back up this position with the help of two arguments - a positive one that presents the moral implications of the absence of God, and a negative one in which I will disprove The paradox of the stone that atheists bring to prove that there is no God.

Refuting the stone paradox

This is a kind of old dilemma that atheists pose to God, asking whether God can create a stone so heavy that even God cannot lift it. Of course, as soon as you choose one corner of the dilemma - yes, God can create such a stone - it turns out that he cannot lift it and is therefore not omnipotent.

Of course, the logical fallacy pointed out by the atheists is itself based on a profound error in their understanding of God - after all, God himself created logic, and therefore we have no reason to assume that God is subject to the laws of our logic.

The meaning of atheism on morality

God is actually the source of human morality. It is what separates human behavior from animal-like behavior by making people see what is wrong with an act that serves their interests. Since evolution claims that the strongest survives, and since in nature the strong eats the weak, the only reason why humans live according to a different morality is God. so Arguments about religion and morality As if not all religious people are moral or that there are moral atheists who actually miss reality.

Therefore, if God did not exist, people would be ready to do anything against each other - murder, steal, rape and abuse as long as it serves their personal interest. Since humans really don't, I think this is proof that God exists.
