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?
I didn't think much of it when I read Aristotle, I liked it even less when I read Aquinas. You'll pardon me if I don't go into transports of theological delight over this oft repeated fatally flawed argument. 'Where is the fatal flaw?' I hear you asking? Step #1. If you want to prove that God is the creator of the universe, you can't use 'God created the universe' as a definitional premise. Boob.
