Actually it is the question of persuasion. If they are persuaded, then they have a proof already. If not, they are guessing without proof.

collaboration? we could publish a thesis, market it to British Intelligence who would transfer it to the CIA demonstrating that Iraq is actually on the planet Arcturis but in a different dimension building weapons of micro-destruction.

So, in other words, satt_focusable, the "God" in the proof could be the same as anyone's realization that the universe is infinite, or that they have an unnamed sense that all is well.....or just about anything. So the "proof" may well not prove anything other than what we already know by common sense. That something is infinite, but it is not us.

Lola..
I cannot talk about the validity of logic in the proof of the existence of God by Godel, since I have not read yet.
Whispering: I do not think Godel has proved anything about God.

I'm sure there is a supreme entity, located just one step beyond our imagination. (Is that the Twilight Zone music I hear?)

If logic could successfully prove the existence of God(-like individual) or the individual with every positive properties, it would simply suggest an aspect of the nature of system of logic aproved by humans (or at least by logicians) to be persuasive, not the nature of "actual God."

It would amount to show the human inclination for a "logical God" and the inclination could be thought to be one of human nature, because it must be human that could assess the plausibility of the premises. Logic would not talk about the actual God but about the human tendency toward God.

Satt,
...I suppose God would have to have all negative properties also, right? BTW, your last sentence says a lot, in my book...In fact, you must be a very smart person, you agree with me a lot. Smile

To be clear Satt,
...When I refer to your last sentence, I mean, it sums up the post pretty neatly. If I'm reading you right, you could very well be saying, "He knows, cannot say. He who says, cannot know."
