However, it is important to consider whether the subject of God’s existence comes under pure empirical science or it is beyond the science’s domain? In this paper, the argumentation is going to be tilted in favor of God’s existence by using philosophical interpretations and arguments while supporting the notion that God’s existence can be proved by induction and logical argumentation rather than just pure deterministic science because of its limited scope. To support the above thesis, we are going to make several arguments in this section. The very first argument is related to the significance of life without the concept of God. Without the concept of God and immortality, the existence of human life itself becomes meaningless. It does not matter how conscious a person may become of his existence but the fact that he is not immortal and there is no objective meaning to life and morality makes his own existence doubtful and meaningless (Craig).
