Proofs of God are deductive because one has to start already believing God exists — Jackson
My favorite is Anselm's argument. — SpaceDweller
But also, the falacious argument that existing is better than not existing, there fore God exists. — Jackson
the meaning here is that, God is a superior being, a superior being mean there is no grater because if it is then a being that is grater is God rather than inferior being.That than which nothing greater can be conceived. — Jackson
I think existing is better than not existing is subjective because:
A person having trouble living life will favor non existence, while a person living in welfare will favor existence. — SpaceDweller
the meaning here is that, God is a superior being, a superior being mean there is no grater because if it is then a being that is grater is God rather than inferior being. — SpaceDweller
God explains why there is existence. — Jackson
Ah, why is there something rather than nothing?
Because of God.
Awesome reason indeed! — SpaceDweller
Hegel brought this to my attention. The ancient greeks asked what the nature of God is. The Christians (Moderns) made God into a proposition about whether God exists or not. — Jackson
Issues with No. 2 are motives behind scriptures since we know scriptures are man made texts, what were their motives, divine revelation or ancient wisdom is beyond our ability to prove. — SpaceDweller
How would you prove God doesn't exist? — Paulm12
(A) g/G "created" everything for a reason; therefore, Reason is divine and g/G is not worthy of worship — 180 Proof
(B) g/G "created" everything arbitraily, without reason, by chance; therefore, Chance (i.e. randomness à la vacuum fluctuation) is divine and g/G is not worthy of worship ... — 180 Proof
So what does this "prove"? Nothing but the obvious – (whether or not it exists) g/G is superfluous and does not itself explain or justify anything — 180 Proof
