Does God exist? This post looks at the approaches at answering this question. Is it really insensible to claim the supernatural exists and an infinitely-powerful Creator has designed and rules the created realm?

My Presuppositions
The previous four posts examined what I consider to be the four foundational presuppositions: Being, Metaphysics, Ontology, and Epistemology. Here I will give the presuppositions that I have chosen.
Presupposition #4: Epistemology
Epistemology deals with knowledge. There are two foundational epistemological options: (1) Believe in Absolute Truth, or (2) Believe there is NO Absolute Truth, but instead only relative truths.
Presupposition #3: Ontology
Ontology deals with your concept of universal Reality. There are three possible ontologies: Materialism, Unhappy Dualism, and Happy Dualism.
Presupposition #2: Metaphysics
Metaphysics is the question of whether there is a supernatural part to Reality or not. Is the natural world open or closed? Is there something beyond the material world?
Presupposition #1: Being
Being focuses on pure existence itself. What is existence? Is one’s existence timeless or temporal? Is time linear or cyclical?
Worldview
A worldview shapes our perspective on life, serving as the foundation for our choices and understanding of reality.
