Abstract

Can you prove the existence of God?

Dr. Denise Carmody discusses the question of proving the existence of God, which she says is not possible. She explains that first you must define what you mean by “prove.” When proving the existence of God you are not doing the same thing as proving a math equation. On the other hand, you can claim to be proving the existence of God from your own personal experience. But this is not a universal nor an objective conclusion, but leads an individual to confidence in their own personal truth.
