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 say, "Ultimately , philosophy is the work of philosophers."

Forgive me, but I think you are wrong, philosophy or thinking and thinking and thinking on why we are here in life, that is the duty of every human to himself, who has reason and intelligence and is most scientifically curious to discover his place in the world, otherwise the unexamined life is not worth living, we would be like cattle and donkeys and frogs.

Ultimately , philosophy is the work of philosophers, most of whom are coming up with a few limited formulas . You will find all sorts of philosophers, some are polytheists, some are monotheists, some are atheists or agnostics. Often God becomes a metaphor for the infinite, which as I see it, hardly matches the vision of the very human-like god presented in religious guide books.[/quote]

@yrger You got me wrong , or maybe I didn't make it sound clear enough. I meant that there is no one way of thinking , philosophy is a discipline with a history and a history of debates, contradictions, oppositions between generations.
