@Sabo-go-thud said in Fact check with Pet': Can you prove God's existence? Part I:
Okay....I want to break this down a little more. Not to prove/disprove an overall force that drives our reality, but ask...."can you prove I (@sabo-goes-thud) exist?" Or anyone else here.
Are you sure your talking to a human or a line of code or a lizard of the Illumina?
There is an important difference between proving God's existence and the existence of literally anything or anyone else. Because there could be something that God must be, which you and me are not: necessary.
But we can break this down further if you want. It could be the case that we are not able to think. It could indeed be the case, that our thoughts don't really make any sense at all. It's just that they seem to make sense to us. Ergo, it could be that all our conclusions are wrong. It could be, that you are dreaming this whole world up, that nothing is real, and you could not prove anything, because you cannot really think. But there is one thing, that cannot be denied by you. That one thing is you. Because you experience. And experience requires a space in which it can happen. This space is you (your consciousness).
Now lets assume again, that our thoughts do indeed work, which is what you do, when you live your life (you do think, that you understand how your car works, or else you wouldn't dare to drive the hellish thing aye?). Now you have a problem. Because now you know that you exist, because you experience. The problem is this: Why do you exist? Why in the world would anything exist? And a reason seems to be necessary. Ergo. It could be possible to prove God (the reason), while it is impossible to prove to you, that I (or anyone else) exists, with the same clarity.
