Topic: Computer Scientists Prove God Exists - page 29. (Read 25293 times)
It's pretty simple when you think (or don't) about it. If you can imagine something, it exists because you have connected to that reality where it does. We are multidimensional beings, thoughts are other dimensions, other realities that we connect to. If you can think of an all powerful conscious being, it surely exists.
I'm not even going to waste my time clicking the link and reading the article.
Pantheistic Solipsism is not proof of anything.
Typical mainstream media these days. No clue and no cross checking, just post a nonsense (but controversial) article that will get views (and reposts) and hence advertising revenue. Only the few people knowledgeable about logic will be able to point out it's flaws. Not much more to say about it really. Shocking logic.
Computer scientists? Let's see them write a computer program using the same logic and see if it works.

The theorem says that God, or a supreme being, is that for which no greater can be conceived. God exists in the understanding. If God exists in the understanding, we could imagine Him to be greater by existing in reality. Therefore, God must exist.
This is contradictory and stupid logic, what they're essentially saying is that if you believe it is real then it must exist and that's the kind of arguments that religious people have been using for years, whether or not they are correct is down to the evidence provided as we've known yet again for years, I also noticed that these articles don't bother going into any of the actual maths or scientific evidence for this theory which basically means they're putting up a ridiculous headline so they'll get people reading.
As far as I'm concerned, gods have to prove their existence to me if they want me to believe in them, not the other way round, this looks a lot like fake or very dodgy science to me to make it seem that religious people are correct.
In Imaginationland everything is possible.

But unsurprisingly, there is a rather significant caveat to that claim. In fact, what the researchers in question say they have actually proven is a theorem put forward by renowned Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel -- and the real news isn't about a Supreme Being, but rather what can now be achieved in scientific fields using superior technology.

I figured this article would cause some interesting discussions on here!

I find it fascinating.

Gödel’s theorem is based on modal logic, a type of formal logic that, narrowly defined, involves the use of the expressions “necessarily” and “possibly,” according to Stanford University.
The theorem says that God, or a supreme being, is that for which no greater can be conceived. God exists in the understanding. If God exists in the understanding, we could imagine Him to be greater by existing in reality. Therefore, God must exist.
Paleo and Benzmüller say that they have proven that the theorem is correct, at least on a mathematical level.
