Majority of Africans believe in the existence of God or a supreme being. This being is believed to be control of everything that goes on in the universe.
No matter the religious beliefs of the individual, this belief plays an important part in the thinking of many Africans.
There are however some who do not share this belief those who contest the existence of such a Being.
This category of people are usually referred to as atheists and agnotists.
We begin by stating categorically the belief of this writes in the existence of such a Being.
And this blog will consistently attempt to highlight the logical arguments over the years that have been forwarded to prove the existence of such a Being.
This will be a continuous exercise and will go on from time to time on this blog.
One of these arguments is what is generally referred to as the moral argument for the existence of God.
One of the earliest proponents of this argues is St. Thomas Aquinas
Aquinas argued that among the various beings which exist in the world there are such qualities as good true and noble.
He also argued that among beigns there are various grades of these qualities.
In short some things can be said to be better than others, more noble than other etc..
Aquinas argument is that things are graded in this way because they are being compared to some absolute standard, in his view, this beign is God.
