37. ATHEIST-MATERIALIST APPROACH FAILS, BUT I’VE YET TO PROVE GOD’S EXISTENCE
But even if we do not take it in this direction (although quite a few philosophers and scientists follow it), it is clear that consciousness is a miracle that requires explanation, and that the atheist-materialist approach is unable to explain it.
23. THE EXISTENCE OF GOD VS THE EXISTENCE OF GRAVITY
Belief in GOD is like belief in gravity: each adds to human knowledge by rational inquiry, which is why rational inquiry is the means of discovering the existence of GOD.
16. CAN GOD HAVE NO ATTRIBUTES?
I say, only something committed to reality can be the first reason. The universe is not bound by reality since any part of it can cease to exist. The universe itself can also cease to exist entirely.
12. DOES ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD EXIST?
It is essential to understand that “absolute proof” does not exist, neither here nor in any subject. Every proof, including the logic itself, is derived from assumptions, which in themselves are not inherently provable or reasonable, but simply seem logical and intuitive.
