Proof for God
Proof for God.
Definitions
1. Positive Property: A property P is said to be positive if and only if it satisfies certain abstract moral or aesthetic criteria. Let denote this predicate.
2. God-like: is God-like if and only if possesses all positive properties:
3. Necessary Existence: The necessary existence of , denoted , is defined as:
Axioms
1. A property is either positive or its negation is positive:
2. A property necessarily entailed by a positive property is positive:
3. The property of being God-like is positive:
4. Positive properties are necessarily positive:
5. Necessary existence is a positive property:
Theorems and Proofs
Theorem 1: If God exists, then God exists necessarily.
From Axiom 3, . By the definition of God-like, a God-like entity possesses all positive properties. Since necessary existence is a positive property (Axiom 5), a God-like entity necessarily exists.
Theorem 2: God exists necessarily in the S5 modal logic system.
In S5, if something is possibly necessary, it is necessary . Assume . By the definition of God-like, applies to a God-like entity, so . Therefore, holds necessarily.
