Protheory's Logic Answer to the Question "Does God Exist?"

According to Protheory there are there are three potential truth values to any proposition: True, False or Neither True but Neither False (something else = NEUTRAL). So below are the three potential answers to the question.

First we present the statement P = God exists (affirm)
Then we negate statement -P = God does not exist (deny)
The we negate (P) > -(P)
Then we negate the negation -P > -(-P)
then conjoin = -(P) ^ -(-P) (to neutralise)

Now we can not prove God exists so we can not say "God exists" is True
Nor can we prove God does not exist so we can not "God exists" is False.
This leaves the third potential which reads:
It is not the case that "God exists"
and
it is not the case that "God does not exist."
This necessitates us to conclude that (for lack of proof in this case)
the existance of God is indertiminable at this stage.

To affirm or deny God then is a statement of "Belief"
