Re: A proof of God
OK Here is a thought.
1) The greatest thing in the universe must exist.
2) God is the greatest thing in the universe.
3) Therefore, God must exist.
This logic seems to be flawed at its heart.
If God actually created the entire universe then he isn't going to be actually in it at all. He would have been there before the universe existed and therefore he must exist outside of his creation. Doesn't it stand to reason that any creator (of anything) must be greater than his creation?
This would make the proof oh his existance even more untenable since if his hand is in everything then it becomes like the matrix subtraction of an analytical experiment. Like C in the equation Y=MX+C (commonly used in a concentration equation. Y is the measured responce while X is the concentration and M is the slope). If C is equal in everything then how is it possible to know its magnitude?
Oh sorry. That was logic and we have already established that logic isn't really applicable here.
