Set theory proves that god does NOT exists Or DOES exist

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of set theory to the existence of God, specifically questioning whether mathematical proofs can definitively demonstrate God's non-existence. Participants argue that while set theory may provide frameworks for understanding existence, it cannot conclusively disprove God due to the immeasurable nature of divinity. The conversation highlights the philosophical implications of absolute knowledge and the limitations of mathematical demonstrations in addressing metaphysical questions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of set theory concepts
  • Familiarity with mathematical proofs and their implications
  • Knowledge of philosophical arguments regarding existence
  • Awareness of the limitations of empirical evidence in metaphysical discussions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the foundations of set theory and its applications in philosophy
  • Explore mathematical proofs related to existence and non-existence arguments
  • Study philosophical perspectives on the nature of God and existence
  • Investigate the relationship between mathematics and metaphysics
USEFUL FOR

Philosophers, mathematicians, theologians, and anyone interested in the intersection of mathematics and metaphysical discussions regarding the existence of God.

As I have not received an answer for the post I submitted under the thread "Does the set theory prove that there is no God?" I decided to submit it here.
Without having much knowledge of set theory, How exactly does the Set theory prove that there is no god?
Thank you in advance for your kind replies. :smile:

If, and only if, you admit mathematical demostrations that there is no god, then yes, it proves that there is no god, in several ways, but of course, not completely, and doubtfull.
 
How exactly would you go about proving that God does not exist when God is said to be immeasurable. Only from the standpoint of absolute knowledge and understanding of everything in the universe and their relationships to one another would it be possible to "filter out" each part of the equation to be left with nothing. It seems that to disprove God you have to be God yourself.
