I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

This is like a coffee shop that only serves decaf and twinkies!

Dear readers and atheist colleagues of this thread of mine, what I now call my coffee-shop, what do you know?

I know a presuppositionalist when I see one.

Huh, it seems a little more conversational now.  (Have had it on ignore for a while now.)

The way these literal religionists show up calling threads they start "mine" is kind of funny.  I'm not here for its amusement.  I'm here because I've thought up some new disrespect to heave in its direction for larks with the rest of us.  I don't really think of it as human somehow.  Maybe because it has never uttered a recognizably human remark?

This is my proof for God existing.

1. Formulate the information of the concept of God, thus:
"God in concept is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."

2. Look for instances of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.

3. We find countless examples of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.

4. From the countless instances of causation in reality, we infer to the existence of a first and ultimate cause.

5. We find that the first and ultimate cause of all instances of causation in reality corresponds to our information on the concept of God, namely, the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

6. Conclusion: God exists in concept as first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.


What do you think about my proof for the existence of God?

bold by me

Then sure, god, in concept, is the creator of the universe. So what? A unicorn is, in concept, a horse with a horn. Your "proof" not only fails to prove anything but it fails to tell us anything at all that we don't already know. What do I think of your proof? It's terrible and not very well thought out. If you're not a troll I'm honestly surprised at the level of stupidity you've displayed here on this forum.

English is very clearly not your first language and you've shown that time and time again. You are arrogant and you ignore everything everyone says to you while posting people's profile statistics and spouting off random nonsense that has nothing to do with what anyone actually says to you. I'm not even sure why this thread is still open and quite honestly I would love to see it closed so we can move on to more serious individuals that actually have a decent argument for their position.

For that matter, I suspect the neighbor's cat would be of greater assistance in helping me find my keys.

*pounce* *jingle jingle jingle*

I just got a product idea:  Key fob with a catnip mouse attached.  (Open source idea, but if you build it, please send Me a sample)

You should watch this video.  It's at least as enlightening as anything else in this thread.

That is exactly why I bowed out of this thread when it was still under 100 pages.

He has been shown, by many people here, why his 'proof' fails on several levels, and he has failed to respond to a single one.

Intellectual dishonesty, language problems, or trolling. I don't care. Still a waste of time.

That's why I'm now posting only silly things.  I like to feel like part of the conversation, I just don't want to actually be part of the particular nuttery going on in here.
