The Logical Contradiction in Faith
Question
Hello,
What does the Rabbi think about the logical arguments against the existence of God? Like the stone paradox,
or the truth example:
- If God exists, He knows everything.
- No one knows that 2+2=5.
- Therefore, God does not exist.
Answer
What do you think about the following argument:
- If there exists a mathematician who specializes in number theory, he knows everything that can be known in that field.
- No mathematician knows that 2+2=5.
- Therefore, no mathematician exists.
With all due respect, don’t bother yourself—or me—with such nonsense.
