Yes, and that is the purpose of Aquinas' reasoning.
Just because we cannot prove beyond a doubt that God does or does not exist, we can have a belief that is informed by reason.
From an empirical point of view, this resigns God to the theoretical.
I am God
Empircism can only really be limited to the physical.
All of you are robots
But it is certainly something worth thinking about
You simply do not realize it
@מוות שחור#2673 No, you have it backwards.
Very funny comrade
I will give you some shekels
When you say 'limited to the physical', that is difficult to conceptualise. For something to have an effect on the world, like as a First Mover, it must have some physical reality, in its actualisation.
True.

I promise is not dangerous
When I say that I suppose I mean that God as a being exists beyond what we know to be physical. This does not however mean that he cannot intervene in the physical world.
Although I'm sure that there are others who have put much more thought into it than me.
No that's a fair point. The definition of 'material' is constantly changing.
We should all convert to Judaism
Why?
And yet the idea of 'proving the existance of God through empirical means' still seems impossibile. Hardline materialists will never accept an inferred existence, unless by some miracle.
That's another thing. Catholic believe in miracles.
I like this man named Johannes
Well we can join the majority of modern rabbis that the scribes of Mt Zion are right in their interpretations of the Torah and the old laws
And thus make respecting the gentiles null
I never understood that. I mean, theologically, I understand why Catholics believe in miracles, and rationality, I know it follows after you can show logical proofs for God, but these too, the miracles, do not confirm to empiricism either. It is not step closer to God in the material base.
Because we can do whatever the fuck we want
Do all Fascists have authority fetishes?
If you show logical proof for God how do you know which religion's god it is
Aquinas showed it.
How does he know it is the Christian god
What did he argue for this
He used natural reason to proof the Trinity.
because he sent down his son down to earth lmao
What did Aquinas argue in respect to Jesus
How does he know he is not a false messiah
That's a separate argument on the 'miracle' of early Christianity.
Resurrection?
There are other more recent miracles too.
One that comes to mind was in Portugal in 1917
