Treat god just like mathematics...first you need definitions and axioms. THEN you can prove either a god exists/doesn't exist. Until then, it;s all just speculation.
You could derive some proposition p="God exists" validly from your axioms whatever they might be, but that wouldn't prove p is true in the world.daveb said:Treat god just like mathematics...first you need definitions and axioms.

Can you ? I have never seen one that works. I strongly believe that you can not derive a property such as omnipotence from any consistent set of axioms.selfAdjoint said:You could derive some proposition p="God exists" validly from your axioms whatever they might be
One of the greatest (if not the greatest) logician of all time came up with his own version of an ontological proof, but Godel was also a very strange bird.selfAdjoint said:This is basically Anselm's ontological proof of God.

I think you should stop being a downer and let the people think what they want to think. Because the way you say it, we're all going to stop existing after we die. So why havn't you killed yourself yet. If theres no point in your existance.Mr.Clue said:I think people use god as a way of finding hope and having faith in something to live there lives.
some people aren't necissarily concerned with physical truth, and are more interested in the intangible, spiritual truth. It's not physically provable or disprovable. No reason to disrespect someone pursuing a different path of knowledge.Mr.Clue said:I don't understand why people still believe in god. It seems to me since man could ask questions that it could not find the answers too they would answer it with god made it that way.
