Sažetak
The paper examines critiques of traditional proofs for the existence of God in the works of philosopher Kvirin Vasilj (1917–2006). The author neither puts forward nor clarifies traditional proofs — extensive writings on these already exist, some of which are cited in the footnotes. The first section of the paper expounds Vasilj’s critique of a priori proofs of God’s existence; the second, a posteriori and the third, anthropological proofs. Though he systematically rejects all proofs for the existence of God, Vasilj does not vindicate those who consider that, in refuting proofs of God’s existence, they have contested each and every possibility of finding a veritable proof, which is the theme of the fourth section. The fifth section deals with Vasilj’s proper proofs for God’s existence »from the origin of all living things« and »from the origin
of every human person«.
