really interesting rationalization but probably unpersuasive to your everyday Catholic who is looking for social belonging. This argument probably does better on the way to defending theism or Spinoza's concept of God than it does to a divine father figure who can communicate via prayer and has intentions.
Sure, I would agree this argument doesn't establish everything about the Christian/Catholic understanding of God, but I think it goes a long way toward establishing a kind of "mere theism," which is a really important step in demonstrating the truth of Christianity.
Great video.
The key is found in the first few seconds of this video. These things are beliefs, not facts. They are merely opinion. Whether god exists or not, we have absolutely no way of knowing anything about it. And so we make up our own ideas that seem to make sense to us and give us comfort but have no meaning beyond that.
An argument is not evidence and is not reality, it is only a clever way of putting forward an idea created by men. And every argument for the existence of God has been countered and refuted by other men. There is no way to know which to believe and so we once again choose an explanation that comforts us. It does not make it true. No amount of belief ever made anything true.
Do you think that it is in principle impossible to put forward a philosophic argument that shows that God exists or that this has just never been successfully done?
@@Thomas-Cahill Yes, i think it is impossible to use an argument to show God exists.
The nature of philosophical arguments is that the best they may do is make a good case for thinking or believing something.
The only way to show or demonstrate the existence of God is through verifiable evidence. Arguments are not evidence.
I will add that in 40 years of being a student of the bible and religion (I am now 65) I think i have encountered every argument for God and every one has long been refuted.
I am happy to discuss further with gentle repect, if you so wish.
@@Thomas-Cahill It is quite clearly the former. Logic denial is quite popular among atheists because it allows them to just escape arguments instead of re evaluating their beliefs.
@@Thomas-Cahill it is very hard to find a black cat in a dark room. it is even harder when there isn't one there.

Wow
Learned a lot. Thanks!
You can philosophize a God into existence
Why can’t it just be a actual infinite of parts
Is it because then it would be infinitely big and obviously everything isn’t no infinitely big
Thanks for your question. I'm not arguing that there can't be an infinite amount of parts, I'm arguing that there can't be an infinite chain of composite things putting together the parts of composite things, so they're must be a non-composite thing ultimately putting together the parts of every composite thing.
LMAO - can anyone spell "trinity"?
God only reveals him self to mentaly disturbed people
Nothing-ness is perfectly simple. God is perfectly simple. Therefore God is nothing and thus doesn't exist.
No, because nothingness is not. For something to be simple it must first be.
That and of course two things can be part of the same category and not be the same. Humans and chimps are both primates, this doesn't make them the same.
Very neatly done. A+ 🙂
@@stephenlesliebrown5959 one hand tied behind the back. 😜
No, because God is. Nothing by definition is not.
Also falling under the same category doesn't make you the same. You and me are beings but not the same being.
