Arguments for the Existence of God

[@ericmasters9680]

“Recently I have gone back to church regularly with a new focus to understand as best I can what it is that makes Christianity so vital and powerful in the lives of billions of people today, even though almost 2000 years have passed since the death and resurrection of Christ. Although I suspect I will never fully understand, I now think the answer is very simple: it’s true. God did create the universe about 13.7 billion years ago, and of necessity has involved Himself with His creation ever since. The purpose of this universe is something that only God knows for sure, but it is increasingly clear to modern science that the universe was exquisitely fine-tuned to enable human life. We are somehow critically involved in His purpose. Our job is to sense that purpose as best we can, love one another, and help Him get that job done.”-Richard Smalley, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of a new form of carbon (buckminsterfullerene or “buckyballs”).

Great stuff! I just got done taking a comparative philosophy class but is was focused mostly on non-western ideas, e.g. buddhism, taoism, etc. I like the way these guys chat. New subscriber:) I hope the rest are as good as this one.

@ YogaFire How do we know we exist?

44:12 this is completely wrong. Modal logic deal with metaphysical and logical possibility, not epistemic possibility. Something being possible for all we know doesn't make it actually possible, because by that same token, for all we know it could also be impossible (thus a deduction to necessity would be impossible in that instance). This also isn't a misuse of modal logic. It depends on the S5 system, which is a nearly universally accepted form of reasoning in modal logic, contra the hosts here. The modal ontological argument is actually defended by capable philosophers (Robert Maydole being the best example). No modern philosopher I know of defends Anselm's version. To say that you're better off with Anselm, as one of the hosts did, is laughable.

Some ppl brains just can't fathom something greater than what science can prove.

All the arguments for the existence of God fall flat.

The Creator G-Ds are Biological FACTS. Everybody owns a Creator G-D in their Sacred DELTA.

all other sorts of proving methods we have to prove something, which i think you meant show evidence for assume what ever their causes are, are within this universe, your god is not in this universe, so none of our methods can show any sort of evidence for it.

[@Ichabodcrane21]

Absurdity of Allah a being that exists outside of time and space. Which in all actuality just means he exists outside of existence. In short it doesn't exist, because nothing can exist outside of existence

If there is no God, the Origin of all then who is qualified to state the knowledge of God? All life by observation & deduction shows life always comes from life. Trace the origin of all by the given instructions, & you will come to experience the first aspect of God, the cosmic ,light of Prakash, or the ambience from God. Further "as they surrender, I reward them accordingly." Imperfect senses, subject to illusion, mistaken behavior & a propensity to cheat by force of false ego. All this mental imagining would not give you audience w/dog catcher.

I would just like to point out , are we not all curious about sonderings of earth& it's life or the universes? all dancing together to a mysterious tune by an invisible piper? For those who understand math, art, etc- surely you must be curious......which leads me to the second point. we spend our whole lives trying to define&understand this mysterious God, yet no one has experienced except the zombies like jesus, Marcil, Osiris, etc.......it is truly no man's land- an unknown discipline, the mysteries of faith....as Catholics like to put it.
