Is it possible to prove the non-existence of God?

[austintorn@aol.com]

Some wise words from Fredrick from another thread:

Yet once you use a specific word, you have to declare the word in all its specifics. I know we all have a vague idea of what god means, but ask ten people ten questions about god, and you will find that there are ten ideas about god out there, not one. If you use a word, you must fully explain that word, and in light of the Theory of Everything, you must also do that on scientifically satisfying grounds.

Anyone wish to say what "God" is?

Stuff like God is [a rose, the universe, life, love] will not be of much specific use at all, for a rose by any other name is still a rose… and so is a universe.

Maybe you could start Austin by defining:

TRUTH:
LOVE;
BEAUTY;
PERFECTION:

Time:
Space:
Motion:
Continuum:

Hate;
Fear;
Joy:
Sadness:

And also please define those things I can't put words to.

Best,

Pat

I think the difference between you and I Austin, is that I accept God, and you question God right down to God's existence. You have a million questions of God, and have already prejudged Him.

It frustrates you that God won't answer you.

But in your questioning, judging and frustrations, you are accepting God.

God Bless You Austin,

Pat

Just because Fredrick said it doesn't make it so Austin.
What if I were to define God as the undefinable.
Anyone wish to say what "God" is?Just that " GOD IS "

And yet all is of the same " STUFF "

Maybe you could start Austin by defining: (the following)

TRUTH: A demonstrably proven fact


LOVE;
BEAUTY;
PERFECTION:

Emotions triggered by outside stimuli that chemically create a feeling of euphoria in the brain

Time:
Space:
Motion:
Continuum:

Scientific terms used to describe (summate) difficult concepts so that they may be communicated.

Hate;
Fear;
Joy:
Sadness:

Emotions triggered by outside stimuli that chemically create feelings of euphoria or anxiety in the brain

And also please define those things I can't put words to.

Please accept this copy of the WIKI .... lol

God Bless You Austin

Thanks, Prof; guess no one else is in class today.

We are wondering what posters' definitions of "God" are, not what they are not, such as "undefinable", for that only proves my point and drives it home that to say "God" is not to say anything.

(Fredrick is my "God")


I'l be working on the definitions of "truth", etc. (really) while you guys work on yours… or not.

I do know already that "truth" is a fact, whereas other things are quite made up, invisible, never seen, not proven, and not truth of fact…

Always a pleasure, Prof.

i assume you are part of everyone

No, all are separate. That is why we must post.

so there's everyone, and there's you?

Nope, all persons are separate from each other.

We would have to say "everyone else" to exclude ourselves.


So, what FOR SURE, is "God"? No one seems to know.

Hi Greg,

I don't know if Beauty and Perfections are emotions. I would say they are conceptual like Eternal and Infinite. I think I would even put Love and Truth up here as a concept. I would also think the definition of truth exceeds "a demonstrably proven fact" I think I have to go with MJA on this one " TRUTH IS "

And we have the wonderful concept of I AM
I ( first person, singular )
AM ( Be, To be, Being )

Best,

Pat

We would have to say "everyone else" to exclude ourselves.I don't know Austin. We probably were all interconnected prior to big bang, and probably interconnected still.

Many theologians, rabbis, holy men, prophets and wise men, asked that same question.
