If God is all-powerful, could He make a perfect argument against His own existence?

Answer 1

I can make a good argument why you shouldn't exist.

Answer 2

A perfect argument doesn't have contradictions.

If he had the capacity to engage in the act of making an argument (i.e. existing, first and foremost) then any argument that contradicted his existence would be false and inevitably imperfect.

God himself wouldn't be able to do such a thing by any conventional means.

And being "All-powerful" doesn't imply having the ability to make contradictory statements true ones-- it does, however, imply the ability to manipulate another person's perception to believe whether or not the contradiction is false.

Answer 3

No God could not do this. What is the will of God must occur. What God thinks, He wills. For God to create an argument for His non-existence would mean God could will Himself not to exist. This act conflicts with God's Aseity (self-existence).

God is Pure Actuality, with no potentiality in his being whatsoever. Whatever has potentiality (potency) needs to be actualized or effected by another. And since God is the ultimate Cause, there is nothing beyond him to actualize any potential (i.e., ability) he may have. Nor can God actualize his own potential to exist, since this would mean he caused his own existence. But a self-caused being is impossible, since it cannot create itself. Something has to exist before it can do anything. Even God cannot lift himself into being by his own ontological bootstraps. Thus, God must be Pure Actuality in his Being.

Of course, God has the potential to create other things. But he cannot bring himself into being. He always was. And while God has the potential to do other things, he cannot be anything other than what he is. He has the power to create other things (active potency), but he does not have the power (passive potency) to exist in any other way than he does, namely, as an infinite, eternal, necessary, and simple Being.

God’s aseity means that he is Being; everything else merely has being. God is Pure Actuality; all other things have both actuality and potentiality. Thus, God cannot not exist. All creatures can be nonexistent. That is, they have the potentiality for nonexistence. Only God is a Necessary Being. All other beings are contingent.

Answer 4

Haha those answers are funny. People are all offended. Good question. I would answer but I'm atheist so I guess Im kind of biased. But I think I could make a pretty good argument against his existence.

Answer 5

God is perfect and He has no need for an argument.

Answer 6

Many arguments can be made that our brain understands or doesn't. What's our brain capacity to understand the entire world? I mean every single aspect on this Earth. After that, what's our brain's capacity to understand the dimensions of time and space? Then, what's our brain capacity to understand those dimensions outside time and space? (Check NASA if in doubt). God lives outside time and space. He created them for us to live in them. He is not confined to our limitations. In such case his arguments would go beyond our time and space. How would we then understand? How much fits in our brain compared to the entire universe?

Answer 7

Sure, why not? I do it all the time to the people at Visa. I swear I don't exist and that I can't possibly pay my Visa bill because I don't exist but man...they just keep calling.

Answer 8

He did once, around 8 Billion years ago. Caused the Big Bang.

Answer 9

God is spiritual being not human being and nobody have seen Him. How can He argue with you? You are a a human being who came from dust and go to dust after your death but God is forever. Understand?

Answer 10

No. If he existed then any argument against his existence would be flawed.
