dino_ou812: You misread the question. I said nothing either for or against the existence of God in this question. Would you care to try to answer the question again? It's *really* easy.

Rewsna: While one can substitute "God" for X, that isn't what I am asking here. You could use "gremlin" or "polka-dot radishes" or anything you want for X. I am merely trying to establish a rational basis for discussion.

Gremlin: Indeed. You probably think that's somehow my fault. But could it be the fault of the answerers? What's wrong with a simple "true" or "false"? People on yahoo answers have answered true or false questions for me in the past, so I know the general population is capable of it. Maybe it is because I restricted the question to atheists. Is that the problem?

so what you are saying is if god is impossible can god exist? I am gonna go with no, I highly doubt it, could all the atheists be wrong and there could be a god? it is a possibility, but all the people that believe in god could be wrong as well, there is no proof either way so that's why I think it is more likely that he doesn't exist, there is always the possibility though of anything

Question: If God (X) is impossible, can God (X) exist?
The answer is no, God cannot exist of God is impossible. ... At least in the logical confines of your sentence.
But you haven't proven or disproven anything. What you HAVE done is made a simple statement, exchanging the word "X" for "God". I deserve 10 points for this.

By definition, that which is not possible cannot exist.
Of course the question is whether x is really impossible. Perhaps someone thinks it's impossible but it is actually possible. If that's the case, even though it is called impossible it could exist. But this is all axiomatic, isn't it?

Semantically, no, that's what the word "impossible" means.
Perhaps you should rephrase it as "are there actual contradictions"?
Obviously we don't observe them, and quite probably, would not be capable of recognizing them even if they were actual. But if we can't observe actual contradictions, and can not infer them from our observations, we have no basis from which to conclude there are actual contradictions.
Why is this a question just for atheists? Are you implying theists are incapabel of using reason?

It will always exist. Check directly after W and right before Y. See? There it is.

:D I'm not an atheist, but this is an interesting question. I suppose that X can exist in concept, but not physically. X exists in theory, but not in practicality.

X-men is impossible and yet X-men can exist.
What the hell are you asking? X what? Give me a stupid question and I'll give you a stupid answer.

In the idea yes in the mathmatical sense no. But then again you would have to define existance, being, and reality so I have no idea.
