Week1 post5 reaction to Socratic Universe

"Does God Exist?"

Once again, Adams of UCLA gave another clever answer that I liked. This question is indeed very simple in its nature because it just plainly asks if one believes whether or not God exists. Regardless of one's level of education and intelligence, the answer to this question is entirely opinion based and according to their religion (that's if they believe in one at all). If the person answering this question is Christian or involved in any other religion of the sort then one can assume that this person will most definitely answer Yes.

If this question included a second segment that asks something like, "Can you prove it?" then the answers will surely get very complicated. If i was asked this question, my answer would be Yes, but can I prove it? Nope. However, I can provide a sufficient number of logical arguments that may cause a nonbeliever to rethink the existence of God.
