Does philosophy favor God exists, or it does not.

Philosophy is a human discipline investigating everything on the basis of reason and intelligence, investigating with focus on the ultimate grounds of existence or reality.

First, it investigages the who, what, when, where, why and how of an event or a fact or a phenomenon or a belief or even what is certainty as distinct from and opposed to doubt.

My on finding is that philosophy favors the existence of God, becaise ultimately God is the explanation for everything, period.

This is a short treatise of yours, favouring your own bias. Have you thought it through, philosophically?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Philosophically there is a god or we are pointless.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Which doesn't answer, there is... And I'm far from empty, there are other means to find value. One could argue, if you leave meaning to some determined entity, you have lost meaning.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles There is? What?

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez What is your definition of God?

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles I know. Why don’t you?

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez I'm not entertaining these kinds of questions, I never accused you of anything.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles I accuse you of nothing. I am a rock after all.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez So, what do you know? If you are a rock, if we are to talk in this language, I'm water.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles I know everything.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Just like the grains of sand that made the rock?

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles No. The sand comes from the rock.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Yes, pretty sure it gets recycled though, like stardust.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles How is star dust recycled?

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Like any grain of sand, leaf, salt, grain of wheat, birth of nature; ebb and tide of flow in evolution. One could say the tapestry of life, if some need a pronounced logic for it, so have it, it's beautiful.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles Yes, the order imposed my intelligence, empathy even. Where does that come from?

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez The source of anyone's? It could not be you were born, and you fulfilled, or didn't, your intelligence.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles Intelligence just exists? In the void before time and space there was intelligence?

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Trying to validate yours? I see no purpose in the question relating to the original topic. I can promise you though, you didn't create yours, you just sought it out..

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles I have no need of validation? Do you? Mine was a gift.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Sigh, the ego runs deep in ya... but I've seen you fight over things that make no sense to fight over, so when the shoe fits.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles Ego? No my friend it is just acceptance. I fight the battle that is required.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Many do, I wouldn't doubt other's intelligence just because they haven't had to question the same, tho.

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles Your intelligence is not in question. Just your belief. Because you have none.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@RuyLopez Strong words when you don't know me... care to project more? I have the value of not throwing hurtful words for the sake of defending myself... but...

RuyLopez · 56-60, M

@thewindupbirdchronicles I’m a blank page. What do you believe?
