god exists

The Ontological Argument proves that God does exist. You are right that nothing in perfect in nature. Here is a famous quote from the Ontological Argument by Mulla Sadra. There is existence Existence is a perfection above which no perfection may be conceived God is perfection and perfection in existence Existence is a singular and simple reality; there is no metaphysical pluralism That singular reality is graded in intensity in a scale of perfection (that is, a denial of a pure monism). That scale must have a limit point, a point of greatest intensity and of greatest existence. Hence God exists. Here is another quote on the Ontological Argument by Mulla Sadra. Existence is a single, objective and simple reality, and there is no difference between its parts, unless in terms of perfection and imperfection, strength, and weakness… And the culmination of its perfection, where there is nothing more perfect, is its independence from any other thing. Nothing more perfect should be conceivable, as every imperfect thing belongs to another thing and needs to become perfect. And, as it has already been explicated, perfection is prior to imperfection, actuality to potency, and existence to non-existence. Also, it has been explained that the perfection of a thing is the thing itself, and not a thing in addition to it. Thus, either existence is independent of others or it is in need of others. The former is the Necessary, which is pure existence. Nothing is more perfect than Him. And in Him there is no room for non-existence or imperfection. The latter is other than Him, and is regarded as His acts and effects, and for other than Him there is no subsistence, unless through Him. For there is no imperfection in the reality of existence, and imperfection is added to existence only because of the quality of being caused, as it is impossible for an effect to be identical with its cause in terms of existence. Therefore, God exists. Another mathematictian named Kurt Gödel explained that God exists in a logical way. Definition 1: x is God-like if and only if x has as essential properties those and only those properties which are positive Definition 2: A is an essence of x if and only if for every property B, x has B necessarily if and only if A entails B Definition 3: x necessarily exists if and only if every essence of x is necessarily exemplified Axiom 1: If a property is positive, then its negation is not positive Axiom 2: Any property entailed by—i. e. , strictly implied by—a positive property is positive Axiom 3: The property of being God-like is positive Axiom 4: If a property is positive, then it is necessarily positive Axiom 5: Necessary existence is positive Axiom 6: For any property P, if P is positive, then being necessarily P is positive Theorem 1: If a property is positive, then it is consistent, i. e. , possibly exemplified Corollary 1: The property of being God-like is consistent Theorem 2: If something is God-like, then the property of being God-like is an essence of that thing Theorem 3: Necessarily, the property of being God-like is exemplified Sources: . https://en.wikipedia.org... . https://en.wikipedia.org...
god exists

this is the worst debate ive ever had, people in the comment section are going nuts like a squirrel, and now i have to deal with you god theres nothing to even say here my opponent qutoed the bible and gave al ist of religions which have gods. ok i get it religions have gods, so what? i already answered this with a quantum particle. take a look at this book by phyciscs Lawrence Krauss: A Universe from Nothing. quantum mechanics (unknown to all the religions) can explain the unvierse better than god can. its just pure logic and science. perfect you say god has to be perfect. but ive quoted like a million science articles which say the exact opposite that nothing is perfect. NOTHING IS PERFECT. everything has flaws. seriously this is a joke. i never even said it was all about the jews just that genesis 1:1 doesnt even prove anything, you might not even be a christian it was an example of a way christians and judaism use god to explain everything when its just QUANTUM MECHANICS AND A VACUUM this is just cherry picking. you cant say eerything is perfect except god. well why is god perfect? why isnt everything perfect too? why do i have an eating disorder and god is perfect? why do other people have glasses and i dont? etc. why is god the only thing in the ENTIRE UNIERSE who is "perfect"?? this is cherry picking at its finest. i listed four sources in my last round i used two for the history of science and the "history" of "religion" and then i used two sources from scientific for that nothing is perfect. give me some credit, seriously

If you understood my article correctly, you probably would have understood. Since you have many capitalization errors and many misspellings, I assume that you don't understand the article I posted or correct English, since it had lots of vocabulary, such as the Ontological Argument, which is a major part of the existence of God. Here is an easier way to visualize it. It is not all about jews or christians. We are talking about one being who created the universe. If you don't know what or who created the universe, then it must be that the universe is God.The Gospel according to St. Luke says: "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much." An aid in approaching perfection is an awareness of God's perfection and of one's own imperfection. This is an exact quote from the Bible, although it does not necessarily mean that the Christian God created the universe. It could have been a single being of no race creating the universe. You are right that nothing can be right in nature. God is perfect because he is not part of nature. He is the creator of nature. We are nature. The Jewish God isn't the only god that we believe in. Some Chinese people believe in a whole different God.Here is a list of all the different Gods that I know of. God in Christianity God in Gnosticism God in Hinduism God in Islam God in Jainism God in Judaism God in Sikhism God in Jewish Again, it isn't all about Jews. We are just talking about the one being who created the universe. I ask the same question again. If God did not create the universe, who or what did? Something cannot come out of nothing, so it must mean that God created the universe. Sources:http://en.wikipedia.org...P.S You haven't listed any sources, so how can I believe everything you wrote?

"proofs" for the existence god my opponent didnt even offer a logical argument just a paragrpha of text about argumetns for god. he never even tried to argue for the ontological argument just explained what it was. anyway then he says that if god did not make the universe, then what did? well it was a quantum particle. lawrence krauss who is a professor of physics and a scientist wrote an entire book just to explain to christians that genesis 1.1 which is "in the beginning god created the universe" is nonsense because it was a quantum particle. here is the book on amazon http://www.amazon.com... anyway when ancient jews wrote genesis they didnt know about quantum mechanics. "The development of quantum mechanics began in 1900 with Planck's study of black body radiation" - Nuclear Principles in Engineering by Tatjana Jevremovic "The life of Abraham, patriarch of the Hebrews, dates to 1850 BCE" -- AP World history by Deborah Vess 1850 BCE knew more than 1900 AD? lol. yeah no perfection my opponent says i havent proved nothing perfect can exist when i already did. anything you look at will have flaws. for instance even the wandering jew had a flaw, he made fun of jesus as the legend goes. here are a few scientific sources that nothing is perfect. "Nothing is perfect" - The Hole in the Universe: How Scientists Peered over the Edge of Emptiness and Found Everything by kc cole "Nothing is Perfect" - The Physics of Invisibility: A Story of Light and Deception by Martin Beech nothing is perfect. its obvious. if you deny this youre just kidding yourself. since nothing is perfect, god can't be perfect. perfection doesnt exist in nature.

I am happy to explain my point of view. Countless arguments have been proposed in attempt to prove the existence of God. Some of the most notable arguments are the 5 ways of Aquinas, the Argument from Desire proposed by C.S Lewis, and the Ontological Argument formulated both by St. Anselm and Descartes. Even among theists, these proofs are heavily debated. Some, such as the Ontological Argument, are highly controversial among theists. St. Anselm's approach was to define God as, "that than which nothing greater can be conceived". Famed pantheist philosopher Baruch Spinoza would later carry this idea to its extreme: “By God I understand a being absolutely infinite, i.e.., a substance consisting of infinite attributes, of which each one expresses an eternal and infinite essence.” For Spinoza, the whole of the natural universe is made of one substance, God, or its equivalent, Nature. His proof for the existence of God was a variation of the Ontological Argument. There are many philosophical issues concerning the existence of God. Some definitions of God are nonspecific, while others can be self-contradictory. Arguments for the existence of God typically include metaphysical, empirical, inductive, and subjective types, while others revolve around perceived holes in evolutionary theory and order and complexity in the world. Arguments against the existence of God typically include empirical, deductive, and inductive types. Conclusions reached include views that: "no one knows whether God exists"; "God exists, but this cannot be proven or disproven" (weak theism); and that "God exists and this can be proven" (strong theism). There are numerous variations on these positions.If God did not make the universe, then who did? Can something come out of nothing?My opponent also says that nothing perfect can exist. There is no proof for this statement nor any laws or arguments, as I have provided.Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org...
god exists

thank you minecrafter for excepting my chalenge. i will prove thag god doesnt exist. here is my logic. 1. nothing perfect can exist 2. god is perfect 3. therefore god cant exist this is a perfectly rational argument. it is based in up to date science and logic. premise 1 is obvious. it is intuitive. for instance we always say "pobodys nerfect." but what does this mean? it means that every person has their faults. their flaws. for instance sometimes people run red lights. sometimes i eat too much. eerything whvh exists has a flaw. this is just obvious from our eperience in the world as freethinking creatures. 2 well suppsedly god is perfect. for instance all of theism says that there must be a perfect being. like god is the perfect thing. in the BS ontolgical arguments god is maximaly great ie perfect. not only do we have different ideas of what perfect is but this doesnt evn make sense. like what if i say i like sandals more than shoes. god would have to wear sandals not shoes then. but i mean this is bsde the point bc god is sipposed to be perfect. premis 3 god cant exist becahse god is suposed to be perfect and nothing perfect can exist. sources i dont hae any sources but that doesnt mean my argument isnt confirmed ny science. i just couldnt find any scientists that said this, but plenty f scientists are atheists.
Abortion

They are breathing. Fetuses are human beings. This is all gathered from the subjective premise that killing a human being is wrong, this of course has not been elaborated on. It is illegal to kill a human. Strange?- Isn't killing in warfare legal?Isn't killing fetuses legal in some countries?Isn't the death penalty legal in some countries? And that is exactly what you are doing. I wasn't aware "I" was killing fetuses. Even though It isn't illegal. I thought you said "it is illegal to kill a human"? It should be. Mothers have rights. Fetuses do not. It is not right and unjust. It is not "right and unjust" that a mother must be forced to follow through with a pregnancy she wants to abort.
Abortion

Okay first of all I want you guys to read this story. A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said, "Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help. My baby is not even one year old, and I"m pregnant again. I don"t want kids so close together." So the doctor said, "Okay, and what do you want me to do?" She said "I want you to end my pregnancy, and I"m counting on your help with this." The doctor thought for a little bit, and after some silence he said the lady: "I think I have a better solution for your problem. It"s less dangerous for you too." She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued, "You see, in order for you not to have to take care of two babies at the same time, let"s kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we"re going to kill one of them, it doesn"t matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms." The lady was horrified and said "No doctor! How terrible! It"s a crime to kill a child!" "I agree." The doctor replied. "But you seemed to be okay with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution." The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convince the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that"s already been born and one that"s still in the womb. Abortion Is wrong. Somebody start debating against me, and then I'll prove my points.(:
The Christian God and Islamic God are not the same

To the Christian Jesus is Lord and as God He has the power to forgive sins Matt. 9:4-6 " Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Get up and walk"? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. " So he said to the paralyzed man, "Get up, take your mat and go home. " and in Mark 2:6-8 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 "Why does this fellow talk like that? He"s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? " So for this reason and many others I as a Christian proudly say Jesus is Lord of all, King of Kings and jesus and the Father are one. Again this debate was about the concept of the Christian God (Jesus Christ) and the Islamic God being the same, as I have told my oppenent this is easy for him to win all he needs to do is proclaim the Jesus and Allah are the same.
The Christian God and Islamic God are not the same

Your comment shows that you already agree with me, as a Christian Jesus is Lord to me. The term Christian is from the Antiochs who used it as an insult, it litteraly means follower of Christ. Jesus was crucified for blasphemy as recorded both in the Bible, Matt 26:65 and the writings of Josephus. What was His blasphemy? Jesus stated that He is the Son of God, as He put it when you see me you see the Father, John 14:9. Or He also states I and the Father are one, John 10:30. For a Christian I will tell you that Jesus is my Lord, my God, my Friend. I see by your profile you are muslim which is good, it is simple as this. Are you willing to declare Jesus as Lord, that Jesus and Allah are one. If not this debate needs to end here for my point is proven.
Short story debate

I want to start this round by saying a big thank you to AngelOfDeath for this very fun and creative debate and I really like your story :P Ok here I go. ________________________ All I could see was red. I was out for blood. I was gonna rip Rufius's damn throat out and feed it to the cave demons. He took my family from me. My wife went missing long ago, all I had was Marcus and Alitea, and now Marcus is dead, and Alitea is missing... Rufius would still be up in his palace watching the town burn from afar. I started climbing back up the mountain, not wasting a second, to get to the top and cut the kings head off. I arrived at the palace only to see guards still stationed at the gate. He knew I was coming. I jumped at the guards with a bloodthirsty roar I ran at the guards. I brought my sword up and slashed the first guards throat and dodged the others sword and hacked his arm off and stabbed him in the chest. I opened the gate and ran inside. I looked up and saw Rufius sitting on his over sized throne. "Rufius!" I shouted. "Come down here and face me!" He looked down at me and paused before he spoke. "Vego Kelinice...or should I call your Dragon Tamer? My finest soldier. Now why would you go off and do something so stupid? Now I have no choice but to kill you." "You are mistaken Rufius! I am going to kill you!" I stared into his emotionless eyes. "But not before you tell me where my daughter is. Where is Alitea?" "Probably being tossed around by every man in my army....but she seems to be used to having men inside her..." My fury took the best of me. I picked up a spear on the ground from a dead guard and threw it as hard as I could at the king. Almost as if the whole world slowed down, I could see the spear heading straight for his heart until he jumped to the right and dodged it by the fibers of his cloak. "You fool!" he shouted down at me. "I will show you why I am King of the Mountain!" he jumped down and became level with me. He drew his sword and I drew mine. "I will have your head Rufius." I stared deep into his eyes and swung my sword at him. We hacked and slashed at each other, cut and punched. This man was a great fighter. He was right, there was a reason he was the king. I hit his sword out of his hands. I cut the back of his knee and he fell to the ground. I put my sword to his throat. "Burn in the underworld." And I slit his throat and watched him choke on his own blood and watch the life drain from his eyes. Present day. That is my story...so far. I have learned that my daughter Alitea was taken on a slave ship and sailed east. I will do all I can to get her back. Even kill 1,000 men....only 10 more to go...
Short story debate

When I took off running some of the other men noticed. They chased after me down the mountain. I jumped over rocks and slid down the rocks to get to the lower paths. I was near the village when one of Rufius's men caught up to me. He kicked my feet out from underneath me and I went tumbling down the path. My head hit a rock and everything went black. I awoke a few hours later to the smell of smoke and burning flesh. I tried to sit up but the pain shot through my head. After a few minutes of agony I managed to open my eyes and stand up. My vision was blurred and my head was spinning. I looked towards the village and saw a figure running at me with a sword in the air. A soldier. I drew my own sword and waited for him to come to me. He ran up and brought down his sword like a hammer, which I used to my advantage. I spun myself to the right as he drove his sword into the ground. As this happened I brought my sword around and cut deep into his lower back, severing his spinal cord. He tried to scream out in pain but only the sound of him gurgling his own blood. There were screams of women and children coming from the village and swords and shields clashing. I went towards my home and I prayed to the gods that my family was unharmed. I approached my home only to find it in flames. I kicked down the door. "Alitea!" I shouted. "Marcus!" No answer. I searched the house. There were dead soldiers on the ground with arrows sticking out of them. "Alitea?!" I shouted again but still no answer. I then saw Alitea's bow on the ground with a fresh pool of blood laying in it. My heart sunk from my chest. I heard something coming from the loft. I quickly climbed up the loft to find Marcus on the floor with a sword in his chest and barley clinging to life. I held him in my arms. "Marcus," I said with a squeaky voice and eyes full of tears. "where's Alitea?" Marcus coughed up some blood. "They...they took her...." he choked. "the soldiers...they took her....I did all I could...I failed to protect her...." "No my son," I interrupted him. "you fought well, and I will avenge you and save your sister." The life drained from my sons eyes. Even in the heat of the fire I could feel his body go cold. I took the sword out of his chest and folded his hands over his wounds. I then drew my sword, ran outside and screamed at the top of my lungs. "Rufius!"
Short story debate

Sorry about the shortness of this.... I got sick and had a lot of schoolwork to make up :( But here's my story! ------------------------------ Bethany watched with tears in her eyes as Jonathan walked back into their cozy shack. She quickly got up and gathered bundles to hold his food in, as he absentmindedly walked around with no purpose. He glanced at Bethany, only to find her eyes shining with unshed tears. "What's wrong, my sweetling?" he asked, concern bright in his eyes. "I just.... I"ll miss you, my Jay, that is all," Bethany replied, trying hard to keep the emotion out of her words. "But of course, my Beth, I will miss you too. But why the tears? It is not as if you will be losing much.... It's only me," Jonathan uttered, trying to calm Bethany down, trying to reassure her, trying to make their last night together a happy one, with little regret. "Ohhh," cried Bethany, "You don't understand! But.... it's better this way, that you don't know, that you have less to worry about," Her tears were trailing down her face, scaring Jonathan. Why was she being so irrational when usually she was the more logical of the two? What was going on? "Beth, darling, you know if there is anything that you have to say to me...." Jonathan trailed off. "I'M PREGNANT!" Bethany wailed, "I'm pregnant and the father of my baby is riding off to his death in a few hours' time! How is this something to be calm about? Are my tears illogical and unwarranted? Can I not be emotional for once? I"m pregnant and my child shan't even have the opportunity to meet his father!" "I...." Jonathan was speechless, "I don't know what to say, but that I will do everything I can to come back to you and be the father that I've always wanted to be, and to be the husband that you deserve to have." He wiped Bethany's face gently with his handkerchief. Bethany nodded, sobs stuck in her throat. Her hands came up to hold his close to her heart. That night, they slept restlessly, tossing and turning like the tides of their sea of turbulent love, untamed and untamable. In the morning, Bethany woke up early to make Jonathan his favorite breakfast-- eggs, sunny side up; two slices of bacon, fried until the grease was gone; black coffee with two sugars, still steaming. As Jonathan mounted Ebonique, he handed Bethany something he had been saving up for a long time. "My father's golden watch piece," he said, "The last piece of him that I have. As a promise." "A promise to come back," Bethany finished for him. He nodded gravely, but with hope in his eyes. Bethany watched all the while as her precious Jay rode off into the sunset, hand on her stomach protecting the last piece of him that she had left. Five months passed, and Jonathan still hadn't come home yet to her.... No letters from him--nothing. What was she to do?
