I'm very tempted to grant you the Deistic god or the unmoved mover just to watch how you will try leap from there to Theism.

Spoiler: You can't.

I have a related question, why do some Theists use arguments for Deism to ''justify'' Theism if it just doesn't justify Theism on any sense?

It goes something like this:

1. We need a first cause. (says who? But okay...)

2. The Bible! (Yeah, but the bible isn't evidence)

3. Therefore, talking snake. (but...*scratches head*)

I think it goes more like this:

1: The Bible its the truth.

2: ?????

3: We need a first cause.

4: ?????

5: Therefore the Bible its the truth.

Would you please share what you consider the very best 100% conclusive proof of God? If God is real, I want to know.

1. Formulate the information of the concept of God, thus:
"God in concept is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."

2. Look for instances of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.

3. We find countless examples of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.

4. From the countless instances of causation in reality, we infer to the existence of a first and ultimate cause.

5. We find that the first and ultimate cause of all instances of causation in reality corresponds to our information on the concept of God, namely, the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

6. Conclusion: God exists in concept as first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.


What do you think about my proof for the existence of God?

Sounds like a lot of bullshit, to me.
