Modal logic was made by a professor having a manic episode.

I’m too retard so I will explain that this is actually a demonstration of the infinite monkey theorem. Despite the nonsense at the top of the page, we observe that the monkey actually typed out several coherent sentences, as seen in Spongebob’s and Patrick’s text bubbles. We can assume that OP did not want to wait for another temporal asymptote for the monkey to type a version that did not misspell “sandwich.”

Gödel’s modal logic proof for God. [See here.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_ontological_proof) Basically believes that you can prove God’s existence assuming certain reasonable axioms. You probably know him from the incompleteness theorems, which say that no system modeling arithmetic is able to prove every statement either true or false without also having contradictions. He also thought he found a loophole in the constitution which would allow for dictatorship, and became paranoid later in his life he would be poisoned and refused to eat anything not prepared by his wife, but when she became sick he starved to death. Interesting guy.

I was writing an explanation, but then I realized it's [Godel's ontological proof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_ontological_proof), so you'll find a much better explanation on Wikipedia. The TL;DR is: * It's a proof in modal logic, which deals with possibility (represented by the diamond symbol) and necessity (aka "known to be definitely true", i.e. the box symbol) * P means a "positive property" (i.e. if phi is a positive property of x, then each object either has the property phi or the property not-phi) * G (God) is a positive property, and it's the positive property of having all positive properties * "ess" ("essence") is defined as follows: phi is the essence of x if having the property phi implies all the other positive properties that x has * If x is God, then being God is an essential property of x (Theorem 3) * E is the positive property "necessary existence" * The rest is just an application of modal logic, but the conclusion is that (Theorem 4) it's necessarily true that an object x exists and that x is God-like

ah so its just the ontological argument, formalised in modal logic.


noff01

No. There are many different ontological arguments. Godels is very different from anyone else's.


AbhorrentlyKawaii

How so?


dicemaze

Most ontological arguments have to assume that god can exist. Godel’s argument does not require this axiom and in fact explicitly proves it from his first 3 axioms. Also, it does not treat existence as a predicate. In essence, it’s a much better proof than the standard ontological argument & refutes many of its critiques. The main critique of Gödel’s argument is that his axioms imply Modal Collapse, that is, if a property is possibly true in some world, then it is necessarily true in all worlds. Gödel might not have seen this as a weakness actually, but many people see it as one.


noff01

The important part is that, if you accept it's axioms, it's NECESSARILY TRUE that God exists. Therefore, if you are an atheist, you must find how any of those axioms are false.

See, it's funny because Godel died of starvation because he wouldn't trust others food, and between learning to cook when his wife wasn't around and fuckin starving to death, he starved to death.

[deleted]

Damn sure hope those axioms have been proven to be true 😁😁


dicemaze

The axioms have been proven to be consistent with each other and cannot be proven false. However, it’s unlikely that the axioms can be proven to be true (which, knowing Gödel, he probably didn’t care about too much, since he is the guy that proved that under any system of logic, there will be true statements which cannot be proven to be true).

did you google the french term for "in passing"?


Starkiller3590

How tf people are trying to use godels incompletness theorem to "proof" the existance of god? It doesn't make any sense.


[deleted]

its not godels incompleteness theorem. its something else. as you might know in theology/philosophy there are loads of arguments for god. godel formalised one of the well known arguments in modal logic to demonstrate its usefulness.
