Do your beliefs imply a Necessary being exists?

RE: Do your beliefs imply a Necessary being exists?
Quote:...so you'll ignore logical proof?

Ignore? Of course not. A logical inference implies truth, but does not necessarily establish truth. Such inferences need to be pursued in the search for supporting evidence.

You claim to have studied logic.In that case you should be acutely aware logic guarantees truth if and only if the premise can be proved to be true. In daily life, and in matters metaphysical 'proof' 'means 'empirical evidence' to me.

That an assertion such as the existence of God cannot be proved [or disproved] is not my problem. All that it means is that I am unable to believe. At best, I am able to speak of likelihood.Based on the lack of any credible evidence,the best I am able to say is the existence of god is unlikely. (on Dawkins' scale of 7, a 6.9 against)
