Document Summary
Argument for existence of god: god must exist because he has the power to keep things in existence, to originate their existence. How many times do we have to keep repeating to ourselves cogito ergo sum . Everytime you want to prove your own existence, you have to say to yourself, i think therefore i am. I thought, therefore i was doesn"t work, it works in memory. When we think we remembered something, but our memory plays tricks and false. I will think therefore i will exist you can"t guarantee your existence in the future. Four colour theorem (example of proof): colour a map with four colours and never have two adjacent countries being the same colour. In med 3, we have proved the existence of a good, non-decietful god. A good god would ensure that we always go right, never do wrong.
