I just read an argument for the existence of God and I thought /sci/ would have interest in raging about it.I'm translating here,so sorry if this doesn't make sense
There are two places where anything can exist-the mind and the outside world.God is defined as "Something that is greater than all other things we can think of".Now,if god doesn't exist in the outside world,there are things that we can think of which are greater than God-for example,an artist thinks of a painting he would like to paint,and then paints it in the outside world,which makes that painting greater than god.And,by definition,there can be no thing greater than god,so god must exist in the outside world.
Your thoughts?
