116: Does God Exist?, pt 46: An Existential Argument pt1

Thinking to Believe

My final argument for God's existence is a version of the existential argument. I argue that our existential longings can only be explained by and fulfilled by a theistic God: the desire for meaning and purpose in life, objective morality, immortality, free will, and love. People must either (1) believe there is a God who can fulfill our deepest longings or (2) believe there is no God and that our deepest longings will never be fulfilled.
In part 1, I argue that all human beings have a longing for the transcendent and explain why we need to make people want to believe in God before we provide the evidence for God's existence. Then, I contrast how atheism and theism account for meaning and purpose in life.
