The paradox created by assuming the existence of the judeo-christian creator/god.
This will be a Deductive First Order Predicate Logic demonstration of paradox.
First a few terms:
{exist} will represent the finite set of anything that exists. We may also represent this set with the numeral 1.
{no/exist} will represent an infinite set of possibilities that don't exist. This set can be represented with a numeral 0, as {0} or as {/}, all meaning 'null'.
These two sets are in binary opposition to each other. It is literally impossible to have a concept outside of these two sets
Now, the paradox exists when we assume the judeo-christian premise that god created existence.
Somehow we have to solve logically how god + {0} = {exist}
If god is outside of {exist}, than he is a member of the null set: {0}. Assuming this, we can rewrite the formula {0} + {0} = {exist}. Or to simplify, 0 + 0 = 1.
If god is a member of {exist}, than we have another problem.
For god to be a member of the set {exist}, we have to assume that the set existed prior to our 'god'.
{no/exist} + god = {exist}... meaning, for a supreme being to create something, he must himself exist. Thus, existence already exists, and doesn't need to be created.
Essentially, if god exists within the cosmos, than the cosmos must have existed prior to 'god'. Which would be rather troublesome, as god would be out of a job.. (why create something that already exists)
We're now down to two statements for the beginnings of existence.
{no/exist} (existence) + {no/exist} (matter} = {exist}
0 + 0 = 1
OR
{exist}(Cosmos) + {no/exist}creator = {exist}
1 + 0 = 1.
which is essentially stating, using Occam's Razor, that {exist} = {exist}... eliminating the need for a creator.
Assuming the judeo christian god created everything, We got ourselves a paradox...
However, by assuming the universe didn't need a creator... we eliminate the paradox, and have the logical axiom of {exist} = {exist}
