Abstract

Arguments for proving God are arguments for proving the existence of God in a rational way. Belief in the existence of God is the most important religious belief among the followers of the divine religions. This research aims to provide a clear horizon of proofs of the existence of God. There have been different views on the existence of God for a long time. Some see the existence of God as obvious and needless to argue, because there is nothing clearer than God to come to know God through it. Others have argued for the existence of God. In this research, the author has studied the proofs of the existence of God from the point of view of Etienne Gilson with a descriptive-analytical method. This article has been compiled in a library method using written texts, publications and internet search. The research method is descriptive analytical.The results of the research prove the existence of God with the presented reasons.
