René Descartes argued that since he, an imperfect being, could think of God as a perfect being, God must have put the thought in his head, proving that God exists. Because how could an imperfect being imagine a perfect being? However, his argument is weak since it implies that God reacts to humans by making true whatever perfect thing” they can conceive of, and even the word perfect is subjective.
Philosophers have been trying to prove God’s existence for centuries, but they haven’t had much success. However, in the book Ten Proofs of the Existence of God by Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmadra, Khalifatul Masih II, he gives us ten clear proofs of how we know that God must exist.
