"Not Proven":
I welome your argument or comments. But before you decide that God does not exist, I ask if you do not want God to exist. This can affect people's thinking and sway them from impartiality, which is sad. Secondly, I ask that before you give up, you examine all three main proofs carefully and impartially: the two from Aquinas, and mine. Please also read my short treatment of faith and reason; it discusses the matter of our direct experience of God and miracles. Finally, if you have examined without pessimism the arguments and the objections and replies to premises by clicking on the premise numbers, and if you wish to refute me or ask for clarification of anything, please scroll back to the above list and select what specific part you have trouble with.
Aquinas' Arguments:
If you wish to discuss Aquinas' arguments not as Kreeft put them but as St. Thomas himself put them, I ask you to carefully look over Kreeft's paraphrases first.

If you have difficulty with the argument from design, then I ask that you first read Epictetus' paraphrase. This might save me the trouble of quoting him to you in response to your email about it.

Finally, if you have not read the objections and replies to my argument from time as I asked, please do so before emailing. It will save you time and save me from retyping what I have already written for you.

I get so much email, I must request these things. Have you done what I requested? Yes. No.


God Defined:
If you wish to argue from the perspective of one of the Eastern Religions, please read first my Treatment of Eastern Religions. I probably answer your objection there.

If you wish to argue from the Bible that God should not be thought of as being outside of time, please click here before emailing. I deal with this matter there.

If you have not read the objections and replies to premise 1 of my argument from time, please click here to read it.

Time:
Before emailing me, please make sure you have read my clarifications and replies to common objections by clicking on premises 3, 4, and 5 in my main proof.

I get so much email, I must ask this. Have you done what I requested? Yes. No.


From Time's Beginning to God:
Some people agree that history had a beginning in this universe, but they still wish to speak of time as having being cyclical, either in the sense of the Eastern Religions' "Samsara" or the very different big bang-big crunch theory of certain scientific cosmologists. If this is you, please read read my clarification and replies to common objections to premises 3, 4 and 5 first.

Or if you take issue to the notion of creation or a Creator, and you have not read my replies to objections against (6) and (7) of my argument, please do read it before sending me mail about it.
