Why do Modern Philosophical Concepts Cause People to Stumble? Before concluding this discussion, I would like to explain briefly why, despite the fact that modern European philosophy or the hypotheses of some scientists (irrespective of being right or wrong or the extent to which they are right or wrong) cannot really be grounds for objections to the existence of God, many people in this age are stumbling due to them. Modern European the- ories have misled people because of two reasons. First, Western researchers posited the idea that matter has an inherent property to transform and evolve from a lower to a higher form and that everything in this world, particularly man, was the miracle of this evolution.
