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.

You you tell me, "You still have yet to explain why the universe itself is not Self-existent."

I say all the time that the material-physical universe is made up of particles, so it needs a creator assembler to produce the particles and put them together: so it cannot be self-existent.

2. By elimination, it could not be from any non-self-existent being.
3. Therefore, it must be from a self-existent being.

You still have yet to explain why the universe itself is not Self-existent.
Scientist calculate that there more than six billion Earth - like planets in the Milky Way alone. Abiogenesis could occur on them as well as on Earth. So life , could be a byproduct of the environmental conditions, not a product of intelligent by your self existing being.
In which case , there is no need for a god. You just need the universe to move from one state, in to one that can produce conditions for life to form. The same results can be achieved, without a permanent, self existent being. All you need is a catalyst to get things moving.[/quote]

We been down this road before. You lost. There’s no reason self existed had to come together all at once. The particles formed individually, and eventually combined into a singularity, which heated up and expanded into the universe we all know and love.
Sound every bit as possible as your spirit god coming together all at once, and then conjuring up matter out of nowhere and nothingness.
No, let’s hear your explanation for that.
