    God is life....as you breath, you exist. When you consciousness reveal his existence, you find God. It's not a superpower, it's not a hierarchical finding. It's the capacity of love. Sadly, the humanity had lost all conexión, in a hámster jail, running in the wheel of apparence. We have, even forget our own existence to be a big compendium of stickers remainder of our passage on Earth before the eyes of others..

    At this point I’m convinced that Kuhn will never engage the formal arguments of Feser, Kerr, Rasmussen, etc. Even if he interviews them (what’s the hold up?) he likely still won’t engage on an academic level. He repeats the usual cliched arguments without going deeper.
    He did the same thing in his pursuit of afterlife arguments (eg his interview with Braude didn’t discuss a single case but kept the conversation very abstract despite Braude discussing many cases in detail in his published work).
    Kuhn is a smart guy, but he usually fails to go very deep into arguments/evidence for certain positions, not because the arguments are obviously bad (they’re not), but because... well, I’m not sure. It’s a shame.

      @TheProdigalMeowMeowMeowReturns 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi John!
      That just reinforces my concerns, because Kuhn *still* hasn’t taken the steps to go deeper. Have you read Feser’s review of Kuhn’s book?
      Don’t get me wrong; Kuhn is very intelligent and curious, but he often presents himself as someone who’s looked at and dealt with all the relevant literature, and yet he still (to this day) raises objections and questions that he’d know the answers to if he were as knowledgeable as he insinuates.
      Kuhn rightly mocks the anselmian onto argument, but he shows little awareness of Rasmussen and Pruss’s modal contingency arguments (no, I don’t mean Plantinga’s modal onto; the modal contingency arguments are different); or Feser’s version of the arguments from potential-actualization, abstract realism, or PSR (Feser’s PSR chapter in “Five Proofs” is probably the most persuasive discussion on the topic); etc.
      Kuhn mocked Braude’s views without asking for the details on a single case. He came across as either smugly closed minded or afraid of the research. I would bet ten paychecks that Kuhn wouldn’t be able to comment on the kakie sittings, the GP sittings, the recent replicated (albeit way less impressive) triple blind studies, etc. Kuhn probably doesn’t even know the names Alan Gauld, Michael Sudduth, etc... although the Braude work alone is worth discussion in detail-the actual cases therein, and not merely in fuzzy abstract terms.
      I like Kuhn. A lot. But he seems to deliberately shy away from the strongest arguments for certain positions he seems predisposed to rejecting.

      You know, I kind of agree with you, there are topics that really need to be discussed moore indeptly for sure, but he kind of just shrugs them off for whatever reason. Sometimes I think he is not an agnostic at all, but a believer who loves to have conversation. There just is no way he can come so close to what seem like conclusions and them end, or move laterally in the discussion.

    Consider that absolute ground of Being. That factual existential ground doesn't have to be called "God." In fact, man's conceptions of "God" are likely too limited. Yet, the mystics of all traditions and times speak of a profound personal presence with this Ground of Being. I have known that greatest human moment. After this, there can be no argument.

    "When sophisticated theologians talk about god, one quickly finds oneself wandering around in a rhetorical fog in which god becomes a constantly shape-shifting entity described by metaphors whose meanings are always just beyond one’s grasp. One has to struggle to understand what they are talking about because what these sophisticated thinkers imagine to be god is so far removed from what any ordinary person thinks that I have long suspected that they are actually atheists struggling to find a way to salvage belief in something transcendental that would not be seen as manifestly anti-science or otherwise ridiculous in the circle of intellectuals amongst whom they move."

Instead of bitterness, they are thankful; instead of sadness, they are happy; instead of desperation they are hopeful, instead of greed, they keep giving.
      They become who they truly are--a light in this darkness. And they are spreading their light wherever they can, whatever hardship comes along there way. They realized their purest selves--like God. Light is only revealed in the darkness.

    The problem with "greatest possible" and "all possible worlds" comes with people's assumptions that they know what is possible.

    The universe doesn’t have to be here, therefore no creation. Because if the universe wasn’t created, if it’s “just here,” then what’s the point of asking about something from nothing? Things that are “just here” don’t need something and is meaningless. The universe was created. Time has a beginning. If so, the notion of purpose has meaning: Why did things begin? What is the point of there being anything and not just leaving nothing alone? We are the special human beings with many humanity's special questions yet to be discovered and resolving the fundamental issues of existence. The first question to be faced is whether there is such a thing as a specific problem of human existence. There are problems of survival, of security, of procreation and of power. These are challenges of living on Earth and as far as anyone knows, Earth is the only habitable planet in the universe. It could be the last habitable planet and we must be ready by then to escape effectively safe and sustain in novel space technology and environment. We should find some way to live away from this planet, to build space stations and deep understanding of how gravity could help us floating and travel or orbit effectively in space environment with safety and healthy livelihood. We have to create our own living into space and beyond within the universe as the intelligent creature ever existed? All the planets are not habitable any more as discovered recently by humanity through their research and exploration. However, by learning from the discovery of the other planets being inhabitable but billion of years ago were habitable. Likely our future to be the same, soon?

    Why does anyone believe in God? Answer because they look at creation and do not know how anything came into being? The truth is "we do not know"? So what usually happens is that people choose to believe something. You can't know what you choose to believe is true because the reason you believe is because "you don't know". Also, believers rarely investigate all the different gods humans have. People usually believe what their societies believe. Look at all the people getting solace from something that is basically a fairy tale. Actually what has happened is this, in not knowing humans have invented explanations and not everyones explanation is the same so there is disagreement even wars over invented beliefs. Belief is a clear example of a delusional species. We are a species that has killed over a billion people in wars, where hundreds of millions have died from starvation, where we poison the air we breathe, where we destroy the environment that sustains us, for money. We lower ourselves pursuing money so we can feel important, important to people we think down on. This is the nonsense of morons. We are not a viable species and all this discussing is ignoring the simple truth that we are too arrogant to accept. We simply "do not know"! We have some talented people that have given us technologies that our stupidity has turned into weapons of destruction allowing us to kill each other or perhaps all of us for the simple reason of ignoring the basic truth of our existence, "We do not know"". Can anyone that is even partially sane think that the state of life on our planet is the outcome of intelligence? Yes there are people that are not caught up in this avalanche of ignorance, however they should be screaming "full stop" we don't know what we are doing. It is very unlikely that people will wake up and we will all go the way of the Billions people already killed, by virtue of stupidity. Remember what Einstein said. “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” My god wake up!

    You say, "either God exists because it must, or God does not exist because by necessity there can be no God". But like our friend Hossien says about Neoplatonism, God is beyond being. If we assume the latter conclusion, we are led quickly back to the necessity that something must have the quality of what we think of as ultimate reality in order for contingent reality to be. Like Robert I really don't buy that God can be personal, good, caring, just, etc.

    First of all, you should stop begging the question. Existence is not a choice. If "The Greatest Possible Being" must exist by Necessity in all possible worlds,... Does this means that the "Greatest Possible Being" (aka. God) *doesn't have a Choice* but to Exist? Therefore,_ *A Being which Can Not Choose* but to Exist, it is Not the Greatest Possible being, and therefore; Such a being Can Not Exists. AND FOR THE RECORD,... I AM NOT arguing against the existence of a/or God/s, I'm simply pointing out a flaw I find in this argument.

      One idea is that if God gave us free will, this creates a limitation for God. True omnipotence is to have such power that one can even limit unlimited power. A good example is with free will. God cannot do whatever God wants if we truly possess free will. God has to get permission from us to act, and even then, it has to coincide with every other variable, such ad another's will to do, which may desire an opposing force to the desire which was from the individual who willed for God to act in their life. This would make us incredibly valuable to God, as free willing agents would be one of the only vastly rewarding limiters to have. And if there were a goal such as desiring these free agents to willfully come into harmony with God, that would also be very rewarding.

    The almighty God CANNOT EXIST here NOW for a logical reason. It is generally accepted that God has a perfect knowledge of the future. However, this has as a consequence that He would know HIS OWN FUTURE too, "embedded" in the general future and would thus be OBLIGED to make that future true. This is not really a problem for important actions that have been decided by Him beforehand. The problem is that He would also BE OBLIGED to take EXACTLY any other IRRELEVANT action of his written future: this would kill his freedom. For instance, He knows that tomorrow at 15h23'33'' He will raise his left arm. Tomorrow at that time He will be obliged to raise his arm, without any delay, not even a second. Of course God cannot accept that. (God is in the past instead).

      Tired and Retired Gods.
      Is there some run-down terminus in a corner of the universe where old forgotten gods sit;
      Nursing their cups of mead and goblets of ambrosia while wondering what happened to their fame?
      Do they wait, midst rusting swords and unstrung bows, alert to any intrusion…
      Perhaps a message from their agents in the solid world.
      "Hey! Brush off your robes! Freshen your makeup! It looks like we may have a gig!”
      Only to be let down once more.
      Do Zeus, Ra, Mantis, Jupiter, Ishtar, Thor, Xmucane and Xpiacoc, slouched in a paint-flaking diner, dream of the old days as they disconsolately push their plates of half-eaten wild boar and peacock eggs around, to deep sighs and glances into the far distance,
      Sifting through memories of ancient glories,
      when they were called on from battlefields, hunts, thrones and death beds to intervene in destiny's unwavering passage.
      Or have they dissolved into nano-particles of still vibrating energy drifting through the cosmos in iridescent misty clouds, eternally waiting for the achingly intense cry which, as it pierces the dreaming essence, magnetically coalesces it all once more into the blinding magnificence of former glory?

    We are told in The Bible that our wisdom is foolishness to God. Even from a Christian perspective, if we try to rationalize and justify God's existence with our own logic, we will fall short. It's like Jesus said, "if you don't believe in me for what I'm saying, believe for the works." Man has tried to say that Jesus is not historical; why do they spend so much time and why should it matter to them? It is simply to win a point? That puts the argument in the realm of a human construct. If they were truly searching for the truth they would have to look outside of their own ideas. But humans are stubborn and once the mind has decided it is correct, almost no persuasion is enough. Accepting That Jesus is The redeemer is a personal choice that each must make in their own heart.

    GOD is the ultimate reality . GOD is always there for us, I think ''GOD" had created a system for us in which he cannot intervene directly otherwise this system he created will collapse. Sometimes he wanted to intervene directly to help us but he can't but indirectly GOD always try to help through messenger's or other means sometimes which we won't able to understand that GOD is helping us. GOD feel upset when we are in trouble & very happy when we are happy. We all are conscious beings our material body is mortal but consciousness is immortal. We all have to understand this, we can't ignore this reality.

    It's possible that a MGB (Maximally Great Being) exists.
    If a MGB exists, then it exists in a PW (Possible World).
    If it exists in a PW, then it exists in all PWs.
    If it exists in all PWs, then it exists in an actual world.
    Therefore, MGB exists.
    Thus, if the existence of a MGB is even a logical possibility, then by definition, that implies its actuality, because if a MGB is logically possible, then it follows that it must exist.
