Resolved: Theism is logical

==Explanation for god, extension theism, being illogical== Is theism logical? "Long ago man conceived, at the time, a rational idea. Over time, as knowledge grew, this rational idea developed into an irrational belief, That is theism." -BDPershing In this time we have vast resources, from science to how we view the workings of the world. We have expanded our knowledge to limits that were never before seen. Theism long ago used to be the only answer to how this reality works, but as time moved on theism has been pushed out of areas it used to control. Knowledge we find now reveal how the world works and how our primitive ancestors viewed the world, and how ancient culture used to explain events, all based on theism. Now today we can confidently say Zeus didn't control the sky, Poseidon is not the cause of earthquakes, and now being "god" is a term used to define modern science in genetics. Mankind has taken great strides in development to a point at which theism is barely holding on to the last questions controlled by theism. For example the Christian god, he"s the "perfect" god correct? Yet there is evil in the world, how can a perfect god intimate with this world not intervene when is "children" are in trouble. Logic would discern that if a god created the universe he would not meddle or even care for a small piece of space dust known as earth. Yet christian theism decrees this "being" holds us in the highest regard, and would do anything for his "children". ==For something to be logical, it must be bound by logic== What is logic: a proper or reasonable way of thinking about or understanding something. Example: the term "God" is illogical, God is impossible to prove with reasonable explanation, which is required for it to be logical, for he is omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. Omnipotence paradox: "If a being can perform any action, then it should be able to create a task which this being is unable to perform; hence, this being cannot perform all actions. Yet, on the other hand, if this being cannot create a task that it is unable to perform, then there exists something it cannot do." Therefore if he is bound by logic he is not omnipotence, making him not a god, therefore illogical. http://en.wikipedia.org... So is god bound by logic? Could you, as a person, bound by logic and time, learn everything in this world, including all secrets kept hidden by the people around you? While god is all knowing and knows everything therefor no logic can be applied to god(s). Since god knows everything he is not bound by logic which is based on reason he is not bound by logic. Therefore god, in extension theism, is illogical and not based on logic due to god knowing everything without reason. Why would the logic of theism be affected by a illogical god? If one believes in the world being flat, when the conclusive evidence shows the earth to be round. Then those who believe in the world being flat are being illogical for the evidence for the earth being round is clearly displayed, though they persevere and still believe that the earth is flat, that is illogical thinking. ==Problem of Evil== 1.God exists. 2.God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. 3.An omnibenevolent being would want to prevent all evils. 4.An omniscient being knows every way in which evils can come into existence, and knows every way in which those evils could be prevented. 5.An omnipotent being has the power to prevent that evil from coming into existence. 6.A being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence, and who wants to do so, would prevent the existence of that evil. 7.If there exists an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God, then no evil exists. 8.Evil exists (logical contradiction). http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.iep.utm.edu... P1. If god exists he would be capable of preventing all evil. P2. Since he is an omnibenevolent being he would want to prevent all evil. P3. But evil exists and god exists this would make god illogical, which makes theism illogical. C. Since god and evil exist together it would make god illogical, which due to the belief in a illogical god would make theism illogical. (P= Premise) ==History of Theism is illogical== Majority of text that explaining god or express god"s word are not original, for they are from previous historical texts sometimes thousands of years older. Coming to my next argument, Most theism texts that modern religion is based upon are mostly if not all plagiarized or rewritten from previous illogical texts. http://religiondispatches.org... http://goo.gl... If these texts came from an earlier source, for example Greek gods, it would make the argument illogical for the Greek gods have already been dismissed. It is estimated to have been 3600+ gods of the world, what would make a creator god as rational as the last 3599 all have been dismissed as illogical by religion before. So lets assume God created it all, why is there no evidence for his existence since man first wrote the bible. If he/she truly cared/involved, one would expect him to come down whisper in someones ear give him the updated version of the bible using modern language so no one will go killing in his name due to a misinterpretation of the old texts. Though man has proven by himself that god, and by extension theism, is illogical because the prophets that have claimed to hear god are dismissed by most if not all established religions because it is illogical that god would have given this prophet a message, even though they are the ones who do his work. This dismissal of prophets by religion proves religion does not, itself, believe god gives messages, therefor all holy texts are now in question, making modern theism religions illogical. what evidence, provided by modern time period, logically shows god(s) could existed, for there is no evidence based on reason that shows such a being could have existed. All it was, was the attempt by man to make since of the world with the god of the gaps, a being who fills the void of what we don't not yet know. ==Conclusion== For theism to be logical, God(s) should be logical, gods are not logical making theism illogical. A god who can create a task he can't complete, he contradicts the Concept of God therefore making him not a god. Concept of God being would be able to find and prevent evil. But evil exists, therefore god is illogical, in extension theism is illogical due to being based on a illogical god. The history of the idea of god can be seen as illogical, and to this day arguments from the past, the the command of god by prophet, if presented today would be dismissed and considered not true, breaking the logic that the establishments hold so dear for they follow the word of god. God was simply a tool used by early man to make since of the world, and as time went on science gave answers to what we once held as god's doing. Concept of god: "The concept of God as described by theologians commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence."
