Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page paper asks whether we have created the concept of God as a means of rationalizing and dealing with death. It explores the philosophy of Leibniz and the research findings that led Francis Crick to abandon his hypothesis that the origin of life from some grand primordial soup is valid. Failing all else, we can give up and believe that the universe originated at the hand of an intelligent and benevolent Creator. Plato’s belief that a single soul occupies many bodies gives us a basis for the ongoing nature of the soul. It is not necessary to create a God for the same purpose. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The purpose here is to explore the philosophy of Leibniz and the religious basis for the existence of God in refuting the idea that God is a creation of
humankind that allows us to better deal with the idea of death. Philosophical Basis In
his Monadology, Leibniz arrived at "a proof for the existence of God" (Burnham, 2001). There were some philosophical logic problems with the proof, but "Leibniz might well counter that
this object assumes a whole theory of the proper spheres of concepts" (Burnham, 2001). In the Leibniz tradition, God "is the necessary being
which constitutes the explanation of contingent being, why the universe is this way rather than any other. For the moment, Gods necessity is the only thing we know about such
being" (Burnham, 2001). In order for our universe to have taken on the form that it has, it has been necessary, according to
Leibniz, for some point of higher intelligence to have been involved at some point in its formation. Ultimately in Leibnizs reasoning, God must not only be necessary, but also
the source of the intelligibility of all things ... And if God is to be the explanation of the intelligibility of the universe, then God must have access to that
