Ontological Argument for the Existance of God

Name: Anonymous 2006-11-20 4:28

1. God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived.
2. It is greater to be necessary than not.
3. God must be necessary.
4. God exists

Logically speaking, God MUST exist. But what God actually IS, no one really knows. He can be energy, mass, or some sort of spiritual being. All of these three fulfill the description: cannot be created nor destroyed.

While both philosophy and science are closely related in a sense that both relies on intelligent reasoning and research in hope of coming closer to the truth, they're different in every other way.

Science deals with the physical realm, the work's done in a lab and experiments yield objective or empirically verifiable results.

Philosophy however deals with matters within the domains of the mind, the work's done within the philosopher's mind instead of a lab. Therefore, philosophical subjects like ethics and metaphysics cannot yield scientific results and thus cannot be explained scientifically.

A philosophical argument is always up for debate, a scientific discovery on the other hand isn't. And what makes humans different from other animals is because we are capable of reason and self control while animals stictly relies on instinct.
