ABSTRACT

An enquiry in applied scientific ontology into the existence or nonexistence of God is not guaranteed to agree with the attitudes of religious faith. applied scientific ontology may nevertheless be possible to superadd God to a religiously preferred applied non-scientific ontology under a different metaphysically less problematic description of God's property combination as a divine supernatural mind that is not omnipotent, omniscient and perfectly benevolent. Using philosophy to try to bolster pre-established faith in God intellectually is nevertheless quite another thing than open-minded ontological enquiry that looks candidly into the philosophical question of whether God exists and follows only the best arguments wherever they lead. The combinatorial analysis of being undermines the argument that God must exist in order to explain why there is something rather than nothing. The cosmological proof and the argument from design for the existence of God are thereby refuted in a single turn.
