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?
1. Meaningless idea. The universe is all there is by definition, it cannot have a creator or operator, as those things imply external and independent agency.
2. Good luck with that. No such thing exists. Nothing known to us can be "outside of our minds". That is an inescapable fact about knowledge - it cannot escape its solipsistic dimension.
3. Facepalm.
4. How the fuck do you do that?
5. Who is we? Crazy people?
6. Dude. Just please. Tell me. I can't. How did you... What is... What?!
7. I think first of all it's not even a proof in any sense of the word and none of what you said makes any sense.
