To explain why we can define God to affirm his existence!

You can define something OUT of existence... or perhaps a more accurate way to put it would be there are some things that can't be defined because they're logically incoherent... E.g. a square circle or libertarian free will given by a God that knows the future in a deterministic universe....

Defining something into existence doesn't work because that's merely labelling something that already exists with a word referring to something that doesn't.

But what if you really REALLY want it to exist, what then?



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
