Existence of god

Thanks, I do feel pretty good. I wish it would warm up though.

It's probably the wrong sub-forum. But you are a believer, so I thought you would have a working definition.

I'd be content to throw in the bog standard dictionary definition with an upper-case 'G', and then admit
I cannot prove existence, but I'm wondering if there is more to this question because it's not in the religion/philosophy forums.

Cool, is it Ra or different sun god you worship?

You can clearly see this pic NASA took of my God, so my God is real! I've outlined the more noticeable features.

You're just refusing to look into your own mind and to work with that.
Nobody can do that for you.

I'm not the one asking the question, but of course it is incorrect to assert that every answer can be found within. That's why it's a platitude: it is a meaningless or trite statement that is presented as if it is original or important.
 
Rephrase the topic question to read: Existence of Potential.

The word Potential is the perfect functioning definition for a theistic god(s).

The great difference is that Potential is a scientifically acceptable term, because its functions have been clearly defined, unlike (any) God.

It seems incorrect and becomes that platitude when one just simply doesn't read what I said:

You have this habit of pretending the person disagreeing with you hasn't read what you said. You should ask yourself why that is.
 
No. God, in the traditional sense, does not exist. I can show that using just the traditionally understood conceptions of God, Universe and Existence.

To exist is to exist somewhere and a quality of a Universe is a somewhere to exist. But to have created the Universe, God would have to exist somewhere before the Universe was created. Since God could not exist anywhere before there was a Universe in which to exist, God could not have created the Universe and God does not exist.

Your definition of ''exist'' is incomplete.

1.
to have actual being; be: The world exists, whether you like it or not.
2.
to have life or animation; live.
3.
to continue to be or live: Belief in magic still exists.
4.
to have being in a specified place or under certain conditions; be found; occur: Hunger exists in many parts of the world.
5.
to achieve the basic needs of existence, as food and shelter: He's not living, he's merely existing.

Does your syllogistic reasoning take all definitions into account?

Yes, of course. Definitions 2, 3, 4 and 5 are subsumed under and can only follow from definition 1. None of them can occur if definition 1 of existence is unmet.
