[Serious] Could an omnipotent and omniscient god prove that he was God?

[Objectivist]

[...]
I know, it's one of the most difficult things I've ever learned.  Read my response to GrandizerII and see if that doesn't clear things up a bit.  It's hard for me to explain something that took me years to understand which means I have more work to do.

That's why I come to places like this forum.  In trying to explain this it helps me to clarify my own thinking.

Here's a link to a more in depth discussion of this topic:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqx0mingAF8

Apologies for the interruption but just wanted to say...

It's been a long time since I've been seriously interested in philosophy but on the strength of this video, and what you've said so far on the subject, this has me absolutely fascinated... it's just struck a chord on many levels for me. So next job is to read the book it recommends in that video, Ayn Rand's Introduction to Objectivist Epistomology.

From the moment you started talking about all this it's had me enthralled, as something that appeals both it its message and its method... ie the latter being that there just seems something systematic about all this that really appeals to the way my mind works. As for the message, I think it will be great to learn about but I think it will also teach me a lot about general philosophy by means of its comparison with it, so a win-win there... sometimes that's the best way to learn I think; by noticing the differences between things.

So yeah, welcome to the forum and thanks for introducing me to these ideas

Emjay,

Thank you so very much.  You don't know how happy I am to hear your words.  My mission is complete.  I set out to get one person to take an honest look at these ideas.  There is a system, the most beautiful system and you have only seen a tiny fraction of it.  I am glad that you are seriously interested in philosophy again.  No man or woman can live without one.  I think the reason these ideas have resonated with you is that you can see their relevance to your life unlike post modern philosophy.  Do you mind if I copy your words and send them to Dr. Valient?  I think they would make him happy.  He has lots of videos on youtube.  I urge you to watch more.  His name is James valiant.  

One word of caution. I would not start with Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology. If you don't have a grounding in Objectivist metaphysics you will be lost. When I say it took me years to understand, I mean many years and I had that firm grasp of metaphysics that is absolutely necessary. I would start with Leonard Piekoff's series on youtube. I'll give you the link. There are 12 videos and if the link doesn't list to the playlist just do a search for the philosophy of Objectivism by Leonard Piekoff.

You have made my day and my month and my years.  Thank you.
