Descartes' proof of the existence of God occurs in the Third Meditation. In reading â

€œDescartes Meditation“ in Chapter 13, at first I assume that Rene Descartes is a "non-believer" in the existence of a heavenly being, a God that presides over humans and gives us faith. However, after I finished the chapter I proved that this is simply not the case - Descartes is just simply trying to destroy all of the uncertainties that have come about by the attempted scientific explanations of such a supreme being. For him and all of the other believers in the world, the existence of God provides a convenient answer to unexplained questions, while never providing answers to the questions about God himself.
