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 said in an earlier post:

[quote]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]

Plenty of gratuitous statements without proof, so I need not give them any attention, except this word from you, [i][b]catalyst[/b][/i]:
[quote]All you need is a [b][i]catalyst[/i][/b] to get things moving.[/quote]

So, the catalyst is your ultimately your God, it gets things moving because it is self-existent and etc.

That means we have the same God but under different names.

Tell me from where and why you pick the word catalyst, in your grade school science class?
