Proving God Existence

[Muslim Scholar]

Sorry, you are wrong
My proof talks about first event (any event) it doesn't matter if there are 100 or million universes

One of them must be the start and creating it must be the first event from a single unique God.

lol, first event of our Universe I can buy that....
First event of whatever there is besides our universe... that... you can't claim anything about it. So your proof dies at step 1, again.

Your dreams and wishes are not facts, you need to work very hard to refute it.

The proof is very clear about the existence of a first event (overall)
Then it can be applied on any subset of events
for every subset of events there must be a first event (in that subset)

It can be in our universe or others or at no Universe at all

One of them must be the start and creating it must be the first event from a single unique God.

If God doesn't need a start, then you are allowing it to be said that something may exist which doesn't need a start. If things may exist which do not need a start, then why add a new piece to an already broken puzzle? Why not just believe that the universe has always existed?

You are saying "X is impossible. God achieves X." Therefore, X is not impossible, and the rest of your argument is meaningless. I might just as well say, "This sentence is false. . . thanks to God."

You need to read the proof again
I didn't just day that
It is proved because of the Universe nature (dynamic)
However it cannot be applied similarly to God as we don't know the same about him.

You need to realize the trick here, We know some facts (directly about the universe) but for God we can prove his attributes only from what we know about existence, so you cannot repeat the process again on God.

So then it is possible for god to have been created by another god who he doesn't know about?

Theoretically, yes
but in this case he is not God, if we define the word God as a creator but not created.

Does this mean god had no conscious flow of thought before the big bang? If so then how did he decide to start the big bang if events such as thoughts within him are impossible before the first event?

Good question?
Islam tells about God that he is one unit "Samad", there is nothing as flow inside him, or that he is divided into separate/identified parts.

Asking how he do things, is impossible to be answered or even understood
Because we are only used to construct an idea by knowing its details
For God there is no whole and details, he is one unit and unique.

This thread has evolved from Proving God Existence to Proving Muslim Scholar Logic is wrong .

This is very fine, I used the same method for the proof itself
I didn't prove God, I proved the Impossibility of no God.

Okay, so if Allah exists, then he also created all the creatures (from water apparently, which makes at least a bit more sense than Christian dogma).

But why did he create man with an appendix, which absolutely serves no function and is even potentially harmful? Is he incompetent or evil or both or does he just not care that much?

Non existence of knowledge is not a knowledge of non-existence

Appendix function

One of them must be the start and creating it must be the first event from a single unique God.

You still fail to demonstrate why any God is necessary for the creation of our universe. Even if you were able to do this, you would have the additional burden of proving that your God was responsible for your special book.

You are true about this, but this will come later
If I do that now, I'll have to spend half of my day on the forum (or develop a clone of me)

but wait maybe if I do that often, I can evolve into a man with 100 hands (with each hand having 101 fingers as the keyboard keys); then I can enter the forum as 100 different users!

Plus, there's not necessarily a "first" thing in the universe that exists outside of our minds. Depending on the metaphysical world-view you subscribe to one can argue that time and space only exist relative to our minds, they don't have substance in and of themselfs, they are the categories our mind produces to make sense of the timeless, spaceless (?) Thing-in-itself (as old Kant called it) that is the cause of our sense-perceptions.

If you take that (to me ever again goosebump-inducing) view, to which the wise people of the east had more intuitive access, calling it the veil of the Maya, if you really understand the implications of that idea, then there is no beginning and no end, no here nor there, that exists outside of our consciousness, i.e. has "real" physical reality.

Therefore, no God necessary to get the entire show going because no beginning and no end outside of the mind.

Good try,
For a proof to work we need to agree on the premises

You are trying to refute my premises which is the disjoint (Or Logic itself), in that case my proof is not applicable to you

but if you are true, then there is no you or me or the proof itself!
You don't even need to refute it.
