Mathematically Disproving an External Independent All Powerful God
I reckon it's possible to disprove some types of God, of course God is a tricky thing to tie down so I am going to put some parameters on the type of God I'm disproving. For the purpose of this discussion I will assign God the following attributes;
- God is the greatest thing imaginable
- Nothing can exist that is Greater than God
- God is completely independent of all things and an unique entity in it's own right
With these parameters it would be logical to assume that if something could be found of equal or greater value than God that would nullify this particular God as one of his essential attributes is to be greater than anything else.
So;
Let X = God, with the essential propertyFor X to exist it must be greater than anything else
Now Let Y = Everything that is not God, for the purposes of this demonstration Y is every physical thing currently in existence -
But Y could be reduced to a single blade of Grass or expanded infinitely.
Now with those parameters set let's set up phase two,
X is greater than Y
X is equal to X and nothing else
In order for X to exist nothing can be equal to or greater than X
Y has a value greater than zero
And the proof;
X+ Y > X
Of course this only counts for an external independent all powerful God, a God that is an intrinsic part of everything or is not all powerful can not be tackled in this manner - polytheists and pagans etc will not fall to this logic but I am very curious to see how monotheists handle it
