Does the issue concerning the Existence of God is beyond Reason?
This question was an attempt at establishing a coherent presentation of the philosophy of God, what is the way for man to understand the totality of God? This venture has taken us through the peculiarities and emphases of the different theorist but has also allowed us to see that the religion is not an impenetrable mystery, esoteric as its manifestation, maybe, but an intelligible act of man. God then is beyond the human capacity to think and reasoning out.
God is present to the believers, almost immediately; the ambiguity of concept of presence hinders further discussion. The concept of “mediated awareness” however has proven to be helpful. The believer does not infer; he experiences the presence of God by interpreting his natural and human environments religiously. Epistemologically, therefore, it is interpretation that accounts for faith as for the physical objects and recognition of ethical obligations. It is interpretation; moreover, without, which man cannot live as man lives, he structures his world and his relations with others and with the world. The ordering that characterizes the cosmos of human existence is human ordering. The interpretative acts of man then are cosmos-constituting acts.
Interpretation is not compelling. It is voluntary faith is characterized therefore by “interpretative voluntariness” that is the feature of interpretative acts of man on all levels. This approach marks a departure from the traditionally distinctive between faith and reason s however maintained. We even go step further: in this commitment we recognized a supreme act of subjectivity which is not irrational but the rationality of theism is consequent to an attitude of openness that allows the question of the origin and explanation of the world itself to be raised. It is rationality, in other words, that comes with the act of faith. To trust reality, to confide in it; to affirm it is to hope, hoping, however, is meaningful and authentic only as an appeal and address to be a creative proves. An absolute thou, by whose love the world is sustained and relationship between man can be sacred. If man then, started to think, and asked concerning good and evil, there the question of God arises, therefore, God is always beyond the individual concerning on his existence, God is always beyond reason, God, then is present to the one who is reasoning out, his experience towards on what is happening in the reality of his existence.
