I came across this proof from Descartes, and it is interesting, take a look:

1. I think, therefore I am.
2. I cannot be mistaken about the ideas that I have.
3. There can never be more objective reality in the effect (i.e., the idea) than there is formal reality in the cause (i.e., object of the idea).
4. I have an idea of perfection or infinite substance.
5. My idea of perfection is the most objectively real idea that I have.
6. The only possible formal cause of that idea is infinite substance.

Therefore, God must exist.

It is pretty sound from a logical standpoint, and although I know you're not supposed to disagree with Descartes, I think that his fourth step is a fallacy, because it is impossible for the human mind to comprehend infinity, and therefore perfection.

However, I was wondering if anyone knows of a proof mathematical/logical or otherwise of the existence or lack of God(s). Logical answers only please, thanks!

I am doing a project for my Family Studies class about this topic. If you don't mind could you please include a first name and where you're from<<(Maybe you can tell me if these types of relationships are common in your town)

If you've been in an interracial relationship,can you explain the differences between dating outside your race and dating inside? Maybe explain the positives and the negatives?

WHO is this song about?

whats the flower you have on?
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
and did I hear you say
he was a-meeting you here today ?
to take you to his masion in the sky?

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

I'm just winging it so I hope I have lyrics right

women were treated very harsh during pre- islamic times they could not own property ,travel out side of thier homes, had forced marriages and most were killed at birth. mohammad married a wealthy and very successful business woman. while in a cave, gabrial came down and told mohammad he was a prophet. he then started preaching in mecca. the people did not like him for insulting the gods of thier ansestors. they ridiculed, insulted, called him a lunitic and treated him very harsh. when he heard of a death threat. he ordered his 83 followers to ethiopia while he travel to medina. mohammad then started robbing caravans that came from mecca. allah then told him about jews plotting againest him. he was forced to kill the males, take thier property and sell thier wives and children as slaves after 6yrs of this. mohammad then supprised the people of mecca with a army of 10,000 at thier gates. they surrendered and started worsipping allah and his messenger......is this account accurate?

If "God" is triune, did Jesus include himself when he used the word "God"? If yes, why Jesus prayed to himself and did not want to be called "good"? If no, why was it not triune for him?

There's a case about it in England right now. Dentist wouldn't treat a female patient without a headscarf, and made her put one on to get treatment.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=482112

If you don't think this should have happened, would you support a doctor's, dentist's, or pharmacist's right to treat or not treat based on their religious principles? (For example, not giving a gay man Cialis or filling a birth control pill prescription for a single woman?)

And what is your religion?

Wouldn't it be better practice to let god drive from the beginning?

Let him turn the key, put the car into gear, and pull away......you crazies can sit in the passenger seat where you belong...

As far as I know, all three 'people of the Book' believe in one God; my question is do they all believe they are talking about the same entity?

Everyone is often arguing about how the US only interfere for personal interests of their own (ie. Gas)... many hating the US...

What if the US had been a more secluded culture, something like China has historically been until recently... (assume whatever reason you like) and had basically closed up their borders to immigration upon separating from the British, holding no real interests in the rest of the world. (Even xenophobic towards what would end up being Canada and Mexico).

How do you think this would have changed the face of the world as we know it today ? Better or worse ?

Never interfered with World War II; never held a Cold War with the Russians; never supported Israel; none of the major events that involved the US occurred.
