According to Paul Tillich, the religious experiences we get are arguments enough for the existence of God. He says that the skepticism the world has had overshadows the good people have gained from the belief in God. He cites love as evidence that we gain from God. For Rahner, God is evident in the selfless actions we do when an inner force beyond selfish desires is the drive (McGrath, 2016). He believes the evidence of God is in the logically unexplainable good deeds humanity is capable of. Ruether who is a feminist philosopher believes God is evident through the interrelation of humanity and the ecosystem. In all the three views, God exists through the good things experienced in life that are just human nature and nothing personal. In other words, the ability of man to perceive beyond the basic animal instincts proofs that they are helped by a supreme being.
