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.

@FragileHeart

You ask me, "What if everything just either is or isn't?"

I tell you, it is absurd that there is an option you call the choice of everything isn't.

In which case there is only nothingness, so end of this forum and everything.

You cannot start a conversation with nothingness as the platform, it is not even wrong but pure absurdity.

Once you start with such a platform, then total nothingness ensues, so all things in a way evaporates into nothingness, end of you and me and everything.

@yrger There is no such thing as correct and wrong philosophy. That is just your value judgment.

You really like the idea of a self-existing being do you? You sure use the term a lot but that doesn't make it plausible. What if everything just either is or isn't? Everything is subject to change either through direct actions (like the creation you believe in) or through complex interactions.
What if the universe is just one big ever expanding endless self existing place and not a being?[/quote]

@yrger Before this forum was set up it was nothing and when it will be shut down one day it will be nothing again. Same goes for human life but I don't think we were created by a God rather we came into being by adaption to environment and many other variables. Believing in a creator is to simplify reality.
I made the destinction between creation through a direct action and creation by evolution as in complex interactions leading to something different or new.
