If the World Exists Then God Exists: Argument Evidence and Applications

If as Kant claimed we have failed to prove the existence of a material world external to ourselves how can we possibly prove the existence of an immaterial God? In this brief exposition Dr. Winthrop links and solves both problems starting with the meaning of existence itself. Arguing from systems theory he shows that both God and the World are marked by a common testable signature of existence X. Because X is corroborated empirically it follows that the World exists independently of the mind. However because the World is by nature material it could not have imposed its immaterial signature X upon itself. Signature X must therefore have come from an immaterial transcendent source namely from God. This is the existential proof of Gods existence. The ramifications discussed in the present volume are many including the possibility of life and mind and of natural moral law.
