Proof of God

Thank you for your honesty.

I have debated with atheists in detail.

To remain consistent in atheism you must hold the philosophy of materialism (that only the physical exists). And you must hold that consciousness is an epiphenomena of material structures (and not a fundamental property of reality as I have proven).

By "physical" we mean 3-space realism. But of course Quantum non-locality is an example of a nonphysical phenomena!

And so is psychic functioning.

Atheism is a non-position, you shallow fraud. An atheist is not logically compelled to subscribe to any position other than the lack of belief in a god or gods. Your tortured logic is beyond pathetic. I haven’t the time, energy or inclination to address each flaw in your anally-discharged dissertation. But for the amusement of my peers, allow me to point out a few holes in your pink Hello Kitty underpants.


Something that has always existed is eternal.

Wrong! Because something has always existed does not guarantee it will continue to persist without end or demise.

That which is eternal cannot be created nor destroyed.

It this a scientifically-testable postulation or is it just a philosophical puzzle? If you believe the turd on the end of your finger is a piece of Ghirardelli raspberry-filled chocolate, does it make it true?

Therefore it is invincible.

Is eternal synonymous with invincible? Could an object not exist eternally, conditional to being insulated from some destructive factor which exists in a different realm, perhaps a parallel universe? I seem to lack any data upon which I could draw any factual conclusions. Did you have knowledge of something I am missing in my assessment?

Because it is eternal it also has an unchanging nature and this while embodying the existence of all things

Can’t a dynamic object exist eternally? The basis of my argument for this will be as sound as your argument for the existence of a static object which is eternal.

it therefore is perfect.

Please define perfection. This seems a subjective term to me.


Hee hee! Light weight!

This is entirely wrong. Atheism only adressess the issue of god, nothing more. Atheists can and do adhere to such a philosophy, but they are not forced to. Belief in a supernatural realm where ghosts and poltergeists reign supreme-- while ridiculous-- is not out of the question for an atheist to believe.

And you must hold that consciousness is an epiphenomena of material structures (and not a fundamental property of reality as I have proven).

consciousness is a product of the brain-- a physical thing. No brain= no consciousness. It certainly exists in reality, simply because the reality in which we live happened to support life that allowed for such complex brains to evolve. Had life not taken hold anywhere in the universe, then no consciousness would arise, yet that universe (that reality) would keep on ticking. So no, you have not "proven" anything.

By "physical" we mean 3-space realism. But of course Quantum non-locality is an example of a nonphysical phenomena!

And so is psychic functioning.

psychic functioning? Are you kidding with this?

Do you think if God intervened in every one of our problems we would learn to stop creating problems for ourselves?

Irrational statement. Lack of divine intervention has not curved our occasionally antisocial behaviour. In fact our capacity to destroy ourselves has increased over time.

MySiddhi, is your proof another variation of "God has to have created the universe since the universe couldn't have made itself"?

That's a very common (albeit flawed) argument. And it can be written in one sentence, as I have above.

It's a waste of time trying to debate with this person. He is a spammer. He has posted the same thing in lots of forums. He just paste the same crap and he doesn't bother to debate with nobody. In the SciForums he started the same thread and one poster responded this to him:

Yes, but if you put all those calculations and stuff, it looks all sciencey!

MySiddhi wrote

The proof has one definition, one Axiom, seven logical Tautologies with ten corollaries, one Deduction, five Inductions, with (credits), [attributes], and some resolved Paradoxes.

You have proven exactly jackshit!

Your "proof" is fraught with unfounded assumptions, false dichotomies, and anally-extracted conclusions.

Basically, if even one of your tautologies or assumptions, etc, is faulty, your entire mental masturbation exercise comes crashing down like a house of cards.

I have issues with more than one (surprisingly, most of them are your own).

MySiddhi wrote

Definition;
By God, I mean an eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, infinite pantheistic energy that is the generating and sustaining cause of that which exists.

In the very first part, you have already muddied the waters (energy that is omniscient?), and already have a logical contradiction (omniscience and omnipotence are mutually exclusive).

MySiddhi wrote

(T6) Nothing is the cause of nothing. - Something is the cause of all things. (Mars Turner)

This does not logically follow.
At best, you might be able to say that something is the cause of some things.

MySiddhi wrote

(T7) Nowhere and at no time has nothing existed. - Something has always existed everywhere. (Mars)
(idA: A → A)∧(∃Ax)(A = x) [eternal, invincible, perfect]
Note; Something that has always existed is eternal. That which is eternal cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore it is invincible. Because it is eternal it also has an unchanging nature and this while embodying the existence of all things [T5] it therefore is perfect.

Ghoulslime already skewered this one.

MySiddhi wrote

(D1) One thing is self-causal, self-descriptive, has the essence of existence, that everything is made of, that is the cause of all things, and has always existed everywhere. (Spinoza) [omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, monism]

I'm not a philosophy expert, by any stretch, but this is chock full of assumptions that I don't agree with.

MySiddhi wrote

Note; Consciousness is a fundamental property of reality [T2 Note & D1], and is the cause of the creation of all things [D1].

How the fuck did you come up with this assertion? Can you say non-sequitur?

MySiddhi wrote

Therefore God is conscious being and humans partake in this essence of the creative source to the extent that they are conscious or self-causal.

Since the prior part makes no logical sense, this one also constitutes a huge leap.

MySiddhi wrote

(I3) E = (h⋅ω)/2 (Max Planck & Werner Heisenberg) [infinite, omnipresent, perfect]
Zero-Point Energy; we have a contribution of 1/2 hbar omega from every single point in space resulting in a substantial infinity as well as making energy spatially infinite. Because it is infinite it is unchanging in it's nature, while embodying the existence of all things, it therefore is perfect.

As GS already pointed out, please define perfect (without circular reasoning like "that which can't be any better").

MySiddhi wrote

(I5) P = ∫ ∇E dv (Mars Turner) [all-power-full]
Power Integral; power involves the transformation of energy, therefore the infinite, omnipresent, and eternal energy is all-power-full.

Did you think you could slip this one through along with all the real equations? Explain the leap to something being allpowerful.

Experiments demonstrating the mind-matter mechanism; (p < = 5x10^-2 is statistically significant)

And this is where you completely lose it. Mass psychic control? Telephone telepathy?

Anyway, this comes from someone who doesn't pretend to know the first thing about philosophy, and even I can see through the bullshit.

Where is Rhino when we need him? He could probably slice through this with minimal effort, while hammered, stoned, and asleep.

In conclusion, I would like to quote a member (Xelios) from the SciForums, who summarizes your entire proof quite nicely:

Xelios on SciForums wrote

Even if we believe all those assumptions are true, the proof does nothing in the end except "prove" that everything that has ever existed is part of an infinite something. All this talk about "omnipotent" and "omniscient" is just tacked on to give that something the appearance of a theistic God. The whole thing can be boiled down into "If we assume that energy has always existed and behaves as it does now, then we can prove energy has always existed and behaved as it does now. Oh, and that energy is God."

Hey, come on now. He's got equations. I always did wonder what the mathematical properties of my telephone telepathy was. I wonder if he's also got an equation for the heebie jeebies.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to hear what he has to say on my work.

I might be able to give you an insight as to what he might say about your "work":
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...."

I can't be sure if this is exactly what he would say. You see, I'm using my telepohone telepathy to get the proper insight, but I may have plugged the wrong variable into my equation.

Atheism is a non-position

I clearly appealed to consistency; Which means atheism as a philosophical position.

You are right, anyone (retard?) can have incoherent beliefs such as belief in a spiritual realm (non-materialist) and a belief that there is no God (atheism).

Of course you are welcome to demonstrate a single example of an atheist that believes in a spiritual realm (for my entertainment pleasure).

Wrong! Because something has always existed does not guarantee it will continue to persist without end or demise.

You are mistaken. That which was not created cannot be destroyed.

It this a scientifically-testable postulation or is it just a philosophical puzzle?

It is a logical necessity... and it has been empirically verified through the conservation of energy. If you prove that energy can be created you will falsify the position.

Is eternal synonymous with invincible? Could an object not exist eternally, conditional to being insulated from some destructive factor which exists in a different realm, perhaps a parallel universe? I seem to lack any data upon which I could draw any factual conclusions. Did you have knowledge of something I am missing in my assessment?

That which cannot be destroyed is invincible by definition.

Can’t a dynamic object exist eternally? The basis of my argument for this will be as sound as your argument for the existence of a static object which is eternal.

Where do I claim the existence of a static object? Straw man fallacy?

Please define perfection. This seems a subjective term to me.

I define perfection as "unchanging nature", that which is eternal.

Any idiot can believe anything can't they? But NOT WHILE remaining CONSISTENT.

An object cannot gain an attribute except through and from the medium with which it exists.

Everything and anything which is self-causal is conscious.

Nope, I would post the peer reviewed research papers but not sure if I have link posting rights yet.
