Finding God through Faith and Reason - How Can You Prove Gods Existence? Part 1

Fr. Spitzer surveys the types of evidence as A Priori, A Posteriori, as well as publicly and privately accessible, and distinguishes between evidence that has recourse to experience or sensation and that which does not. Using the argument that to "achieve the unachievable," as in saying past time is infinite, is a contradiction and therefore impossible, Fr. Spitzer concludes that there must be a "creation event" because time must be finite, and hence a creator must exist.

god licked my ass yesterday!

[Mkvine]

@gamble8008

That was such an intelligent comment, seriously, I don't know how you came up with such words of wisdom...

[jkeaty2]

What is god?

[Mkvine]

God is a deity in theist and deist religions and other belief systems, representing either the sole deity in monotheism, or a principal deity in polytheism.

[jkeaty2]

Soooo, what is a deity? what is it's Ontology?

[Mkvine]

A deity is a postulated preternatural or supernatural being, who is not ALWAYS of significant power (as the greek god weren't all that powerfull),they were also worshipped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, and respected by human beings.

[CeraSeptem]

To prove God you really should do it faster.

Boring.

[jkeaty2]

Now you redefine it?

Oh bravo bravo!

Mind telling me what god is ?

[isomerised]

More assumptions. How do you know how I understand love?

[jkeaty2]

look at a dictionary.

Double fail

[isomerised]

You assumed that I used it as an abstraction. I dont fail.

[jkeaty2]

saying that a god's primary attribute is an emotion used as an abstraction, and thus holds only as a secondary attribute, thereby not telling me what it is.

You fail

[isomerised]

God is Love. If you have Love, then God lives in you and you will discover Him.

[jkeaty2]

For thousands of years, this debate has drudged on without getting anywhere.

The primary attribute has been ignored by both parties of the discourse, because it is assumed that both are speaking about the same thing, whereas the subject matter is blurred.

Given the importance of this subject, it should be held to the same criteria as everything else for logical determination, maybe moreso.
