Can math prove that God exists?

[Anonymous No.9099192]

No.

[Anonymous No.9099271]

short answer: No
long answer: God is not a Mathematical concept,
therefore cannot be proved nor disproved by
mathematical means.

Let "God" be what created the universe. Suppose God does not exist. Then the universe cannot exist, and neither could this proof. We arrive at a contradiction and conclude that God does exist.

>>9099178
Most definitions of God either fail to exist by their definition or properties. For example, when someone includes 'supernatural' in their definition they are defining it as 'outside of nature'. However nature already encompasses all of reality, therefore supernatural gods do not exist. Furthermore, is a god that isn't possessing of any supernatural ability (because such doesn't exist) really worth calling a god?

If your neighbor Bob timespace travels back into the past and accidentally disrupts a perfectly entropic field of matter causing the universe as we know it to form, does that make Bob a god? No, he's still just Bob.

Worshipping matter biased muon particle decay would be more appropriate than worshipping any of the various concepts people call god. At least at some point, that matter might one day be included in a being that could reciprocate.

You can create a mathematical model where God exists using your own, arbitrary axioms. Similarly, you can write a fantasy novel where leprechauns exist.

What is a "God"? To which "God" are you referring to?

One cannot prove the existence the Abrahamic God any more than they could that of Odin or Zeus.

The issue with cosmogeny (is that the proper term?) is that you reach an unsatisfactory answer using modern science secularly and using modern religion theologically.

If you argue that the universe must have always existed because it violates causality to "start", then heat death paradox means either your premise is wrong or the laws of thermodynamics are wrong. Granted, it's completely possible that one or the other is, but you're no longer doing science if you discard current laws for your hypothesis.

And religiously you must ask what created God, though most religions indicate that God, being the creator of and therefor above nature, does not have the restriction of causality.

Overwhelming belief in science is easily equally as retarded as religious belief if not more. The best non-religious creation myth is "¯\_(ツ)_/¯", and there is no underlying reasoning to encourage good behavior.

There is no evidence that myths of eternal reward or punishment actually encourage good behavior.
In fact, the myth of a forgiving god can actually encourage criminal behavior.

What about a society which has entrenched the idea that every human has value(and deserves an acceptable standard of living)? That is the legacy of Christian thought, and no matter how enlightened you might think an entirely rational society would be it doesn't have the fundamental belief that an individual human is valuable.

Yes, moving away from religion has helped us become moral and just.

No, exploitative capitalist systems reminiscent of feudalism are the legacy of christian thought.

If christians were the ones caring about value of every human, they would be the ones fighting for justice and equality, not ones who fight against it.

I chose that image for a reason, you seem to think that everyone who identifies as Christian to fit in is representative of the faith as a whole. If I had to guess, you probably have no problem accepting that the actions of various failed communist governments aren't representative of Marx's ideals.

Fundamentally, the core of Christian faith, and it's diversion from Judaism, is that every individual is worthy of salvation, and not just god's chosen. The prevalence of this in modern progressive thought is still a continuation of that ideal.

I challenge you to provide a rational train of thought which results in the conclusion that all humans should be valued equally(Rawls '“became deeply concerned with theology and its doctrines”, and considered attending a seminary to study for the Episcopal priesthood'[1], so he doesn't count).

Nah

Morality is subjective, but so far atheists manage to outdo christians when it comes to most of the common values, such as avoiding crime, "loving the neighbor", honesty, honoring promises or avoiding death related to hedonistic overindulgence.

Religion is like communism: on paper it looks amazing if all people just worked together for common good/greater entity, in practice it hasn't been shown to work yet.

I'd argue the growth of western civilization since Christianity reached Rome is pretty clear evidence that religion structures a society pretty well.

Rome was growing perfectly fine without christianity.
Christianity significantly contributed to the fall of Rome, although for reasons less related to christian beliefs and more to the chaos the change caused.

As for the values: prison population is a great indicator of lawlessness of a group.

But it wasn't on track to spawn intellectual traditions strong enough to survive the dark ages, and lead into the renaissance.

So men are ten times as lawless as women, and blacks six times a lawless than whites?
https://www.prisonpolicy.org/graphs/genderinc.html
https://www.prisonpolicy.org/graphs/raceinc.html

Anyway, the clear argument here is that people in prison turn to faith when put in a high stress situation. That is a well established natural human reaction.

>Obesity is higher in religious
Except for being lower in religious women, and largely P<0.05 for the men who were more obese before adjusting for "health behaviors". Each denomination also had a sample size of around 300, which is not that significant over the billions of people with opinions on god.

Again, show me an alternate way of reaching the conclusion that human life has value.

This argument isn't used by any sensible sources. If it's clear, then it's clearly not good enough.

>Again, show me an alternate way of reaching the conclusion that human life has value.
The idea that you should treat others like you want to be treated - it predates christianity and is a part of most modern moral systems whether they involved christianity at one point or not.
