In this short video, we present Ibn Sina's famous "Proof of the Truthful", one of the most celebrated arguments for the existence of God ever put to paper.Ta...
While you may not agree with the argument, this was certainly a “groundbreaking” argument when it was made.
Using pure logic to make a coherent argument for the existence of God, Avicenna lived between 970 - 1037, it was definitely “new” when he made the argument.
Oh I have no doubt that this philosophical breakthrough was considered earth shattering 1000 years ago! OPs question however was if it is the “best argument for God’s existence”. I say it is not.
Being conveyed to me today in 2024 in this extremely pretentious video it sounds almost condescending and doesn’t actually explain anything. The convoluted and contrived way the narrator delivers the information makes it sound like a grift to trick people into not asking questions.
As I said before, the entire essence of what was said in this video is “god is so far above you that you will never actually understand why anything happens so shut up and keep worshipping just in case” Which really is the same message that every religious leader has been pushing for as long as religion has been around, even if it’s dressed up in the context of “scientific discovery”
