Is saying an [all-powerful] immaterial intelligence [God] like saying a square circle or married bachelor? To the best of my knowledge there are no immaterial things, such as energy waves, that exhibit intelligence. I need help with this. Anyone?
Can you give me a list of all immaterial things known to us? Do any of them exhibit intelligence? Are all immaterial things known to us (as in there can't be anymore)?
The problem with the above: Is it possible there could be something immaterial which is intelligent? Maybe, maybe not imo. This could be like asking "is it possible that a bachelor could be married?" No, it's not possible. But then maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks.
Trying to use science to disprove God is like using philosophy to solve a mathematical equation. Science only deals with natural phenomena, whereas God is supernatural and is not bound by natural laws. We can bring forth philosophical arguments for God's existence, but the only reason I believe is that God has put that belief in me. I've been through all the arguments ad nauseam and still believe.
In a way we do sometimes use philosophy to do maths ...
And yes you'll believe no matter the evidence to the contrary. Good for you bud.
