There are some philosophers believing in history and in God, and there are also philosophers that mean that you cannot prove God, and therefore whether there is a God or not can always be questioned. And we need to question and to challenge our beliefs, and why we are as we are.
Bertrand Russell was maybe one of the greatest philosophers through all times. And we are always in believing and in doubt in life, and this is just a general and a specific belief. Bertrand Russell meant that you cannot find any evidence in life that is proving that God exist, and many people have been engaged with this question through life, and nobody has found a solution. And in Norway, Per Lønning lost his position for being to challenging about the religions. But this show that much is in our brains, and that we always can question what we have in mind and how and why!
Alvin Plantinga was also a philosopher, and he argues that belief in God is properly basic, and due to a religious externalist epistemology, he claims belief in God could be justified independently of evidence. His externalist epistemology, called "proper functionalism", is a form of epistemological reliabilism. Hence, you can believe in God and in Jesus Christ within having any evidence of God in nature, rather than the fact that nature and human nature are big, and that nobody has a secure insight in anything, without going to the literature and the research. And the salaries are big for everyone being engaged with speculation and thinking, and that is always our mission in life.
So, do we have conscience, and can we believe in the beliefs that are coming from the churches and from ever religion? Do we know these things, or are we just guessing? We are learning in science, that the more we know, the less we know. And we cannot be true on anything knowledge unless it is tested in reality with empirical facts. And many answers exist about where the reality and the infinity really are coming from. And philosophy can learn us something, but this is due to the scope and the limits of our knowledges, and what we know are determining on our knowledges, talents, abilities, capacity, and our ways to make analysis and creativity of what we are perceiving, and all kinds of task should be done in reality with a real need for it.
Mr. Plantinga readily admits that he has no proof that God exists. But he also thinks that doesn't matter. Belief in God, he argues, is what philosophers call a basic belief: It is no more in need of proof than the belief that the past exists, or that other people have minds, or that one plus one equals two. Therefore, we can believe in something due to hope and due to the recognition that God cannot be seen of any humans on the earth and in the universe. But there are many people that question many things, and we should be humble about what we know and what we not know.
Plantinga had such a huge reputation as a philosopher that advanced graduate students and even a few professors were taking his class. Plantinga was already world-famous for his work in the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, epistemology and logic. And God is great, and we cannot see God and be alive as humans. But there is probably as much reason to believe in God than to believe in other things. And many people admire these things, but God is greater than our understanding, and that is the reason why we just believe of him everywhere to the time we perceive. So, many intelligent and reflected humans can also believe in God, and there are many people being engaged with God through all times, and what we see and experience with God cannot be just adventure and bullshit, although some people are meaning that too. Which people did write the Bible and the religious books, and what were they competent to do? You must always be as good as you can with the qualifications that you have. And we can write anything, and say what we want, but people are listening to it, and they are thinking, feeling and acting in accordance with it.
