French philosopher Rene Descartes pondered the existence of God in his writings, Mediation Three. He provided arguments on whether God existed or not, through theories that had evolved over time. To begin, one must become completely open to all surroundings. The mind needs to be free and all things of a physical state considered false in nature. Through earlier writings in Mediation One and Two, it is concluded that we are things that think. A general rule is that everything you clearly perceive is true.
