According to French mathematician, Blaise Pascal, there is not much difference between an atheist and one that believes in God. The difference only becomes evident as the atheist would not be saved, if a God does presumably exist, while the believer would be saved, in spite of his sinful life.

Both Immanuel Kant and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel had tried to bring arguments to support the existence of God, but their theories had not provided solid facts to prove that God does exist, but only that the two had different concepts of God.

Karl Marx had been certain that the concept of God had only been an invention of demoralized people so that all hope would not be lost. Marx had insisted that people would be saved if they abandoned their hope in God.

Friedrich Nietzsche had wanted to show people that God had been man's invention, and that the end of all believers is near, with atheism becoming more and more recognized. The philosophers later to follow began to adopt the concept of God being an invention of man, as it would be absurd to believe in a holy spirit and to hope for salvation from Him.

One of the philosophers to realize that one cannot simply prove the existence of God had been Soren Kierkegaard, as he claimed that people should believe in God without asking for proof of His existence.


All of the philosophers have contributed to today's philosophy concerning the existence of a supreme being that makes the world move, but in the same time, all of them have made it clear that the existence of God cannot be proved only by bringing logical arguments.
