A Logical Postivist Proof for God's Existence
This is a Logical Positivist Proof for God's Existence which is based on the Proof by Aristotle.
1. Logical Positivism is defined as "Sense Experience, and logical reasoning therefrom."
2. If you use sense experience to observe the balls moving on a billiard's table, you can
see that cause and effect exists and operates in the universe.
3. Once you see that cause and effect exists, it is apparent that in the finite universe
there must be a cause for every effect.
4. If you attempt to trace back every cause of every effect, it appears that there is an
infinte regress of finites causes and effects.
5. However, it is impossible for the infinite to be contained within the finite,
thus an infinite regress cannot be contained withing a finite universe.
7. Logically, therefore, there must be a transcendent, First Cause, Uncaused Cause
which is the Origin of finite causality.
8. Since we find reasonble order in the universe, we can conclude that the First Cause,
Uncaused Cause is Logos or Reason.
9. Since the Prologue to the Gospel of John states that Jesus Christ is the Logos who
helped to Create the universe, we can conclude that Jesus Christ, the Logos, is in
fact, The Uncaused, First Cause.
10. The Prologue to the Gospel of John states:
In the Beginning was the Logos,
and the Logos was with God, and
the Logos was God, and without the
Logos, nothing came into Being.
