Gödel’s ontological proof for the existence of God
In: Mathematics
Gödel’s theory attempts to prove the existence of God based on a logical formulation. The problem is that this formulation is only correct if you assume that the premises are true. Simplifying it greatly, you could compare it to this logical reasoning:
1. What the Bible says is true.
2. The Bible speaks of the existence of God.
3. Therefore, God exists.
While it makes sense as a logical formulation, it is only correct if you also assume that the premises are true.
