I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

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?

What you are doing is shoehorning the word god into a definition that it does not fit.
You are defining god as the starter of the universe whatever that would turn out to be. If this turns out to be fluctuations in eternal quantum foam than your "god" would have nothing to do with the Abrahamic god that you actually worship. Its a bit like pointing to a potato that happens to be lying in a road and saying whatever put that potato there was god. It has nothing to do with what you actually believe a god is but is a vague nonsensical excuse for you to feel less silly about having that primitive belief.
By the way it was me.
I put the potato there.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
