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 can play the psycho-analyst's card, but there is still the issue God exists or not, and if not what is your alternative to God.

Play the human card of having reason and intelligence and scientific curiosity to find out what or who put us here in life.

Were someone is just saying God is real because of some internal insecurity for living with unanswered questions about his/her excistence.[/quote]

@yrger You didn't understand the fart of the matter I guess... I guess you haven't figured out that Philosophy can't favor of the excistence of God, it favors logical reasoning. If that reasoning leads to God, then it's not a form of "favor" it's just the outcome of the reasoning. However, every ontological argument [i](aka philosophical arguments that come to the conclussion God has to excist) [/i] has never EVER held up to scrutiny. Most of the times because they accept premisses to be true without there being a logical reason for them to be true.

I'm inclined to go with the idea that the phrase: “A theory that explains everything, explains nothing”, actually works when it comes to God. Considering that God used to explain a lot of things, but now over time... we figured out that just using God to explain everything is lazy and always have been proven to be wrong over time.
