Thread: An Argument for the existence of God.

If it wasn't the way it needs to be we wouldn't know, because we wouldn't be here.

If I'm given the answer four there is nothing strange or impossible about the problem being 2 + 2.

And more presumptions coming into the picture by the nay-sayers.

What about the myriad variations of mathematical computations that would also result in the answer "4"? Your comment could indicate that you are not too prone toward examining all the possibilities.

My comment indicates that there is no need to examine all the possible ways to get to four.

In fact the point of the post I responded to was that there could be only one possibility.

And they were right, there is only one possibility for us to be here as we are which is why everything is as it is.

Despite peoples inability to understand that, God is still unnecessary.

I got it now.... you are making the age old plea of "I think therefore I am" philosophy.
"Often, however, circular reasoning is more subtle than this: it depends on an assumption not stated but assumed. Consider the famous argument of the French philosopher, René Descartes: "I think, therefore I am." Descartes has begged the question here, because when he said "I think," he'd already implied "I am" (or how else could he think?). Yet his fallacy continues to persuade people, over three hundred years later. "
