According to Descartes’s â€Å"Trademark Argument† everything, mind and matter, has a cause in God’s respect. He believes that God exists due to the inference that if something is the cause of something else, that something exists. In the passage from page 25, part 5 of Renà © Descartes’s â€Å"Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy,† the author attempts to explain the meaning behind the way God decided to: create the world as we know it, and maintain it. Descartes uses logic-based reasoning to explain 3 things: why he has an idea about God at all, how his idea was formulated, and why it is makes sense. Renà © believes that God has had his influence in everything on this earth, natural, human, and material. Descartes starts the passage by explaining that the way God made the world, he had one form for it mind: â€Å"it is certain...that the action by which God preserves the world is precisely the same as that by which he created it;† (25). Meaning, God had the same intent in creating the world, as he maintains in preserving it. â€Å"So that, even if, in the beginning, he had he had never given it any other form at all but that of a chaos,† (25). Because Descartes believes that everything was made for a reason, we can infer that God created us for a reason, but he leaves our existence up to chance, meaning he will not provide influence where is not necessary. A form of chaos describes the randomness of life for humans, as God let’s things happen naturally, or the way they should,
