Using logic to "prove" God exists isn't totally crazy, just mostly crazy. Gödel himself tried his hand at it [1]. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del'

- tikhonj 13y agoYeah, but Gödel was legitimately crazy towards the end of his life. He ended up dying because he was too paranoid to eat!
- gertef 13y agoThis is one of the bizarre comforts I feel when I acknowledge that I will never be a math super-genius... the fact that there is a high correlation between math super-genius and "overflowing" to insanity. Godel, Nash...
- pjscott 13y agoI've noticed that you can roughly date logical proofs for God's existence by looking at how complicated and confusing they are: the newer the proof, the more epicycles get added.
