But that question is logically equivalent to "why doesn't nothing
exist?", and the answer is that if it did't then nothing exists and
so something does. Logic says something must exist or you have a
contradiction, but where logic came from I don't know.
Logic was invented to avoid self-contradictions in language. If you
say X and not-X you will fail to say anything so it's considered
good to avoid it...except when X is claimed to be an attributed of
God.
Why?
If you tolerate lack of rigor in theology, not only exact science
becomes inhuman, and human science becomes inexact, but exact science
becomes inexact and human science becomes inhuman.
You confirm again that atheists are the great protectors of Churches
and of the use of irrationality. They seem to need to believe in a
stupid notion of God so that they can insult people believing in God.
Well, I guess you were joking, perhaps.
It is the reason why I stopped, a long time ago, to qualify myself as
an atheist. I realized that atheists believe to much in the christian
God, paradoxically enough.
