The Nature of Existence

INTRODUCTION

In the world today, there seems to be a lot of dysfunction regarding the concept of God. It would seem that there are several definitions and names for this concept, as well as differing beliefs regarding this concept's actual existence. It is as if existence questions itself, considering how thoroughly this subject permeates every aspect of society.

Philosophy, Science, Religion, Psychology, Mathematics, and Art all try to unlock the "secret", explain existence (or deny it), and prove their point(s). I, myself, am no different. It is my purpose, in writing this paper, to both prove and describe God in full detail.

In order for me to begin, I put forth a definition of God that even those "not believing" will agree upon. Conventionally, God is described as "creator" (or "cause"). A supreme supernatural being with almighty abilities, that couldn't and didn't require creation, as well as cannot be destroyed.

I proclaim that this concept, so universally held (regardless of standpoint) to be true (for the most part), but also INCOMPLETE. Please note that even here, a truly complete description is not contained due to length constraints, however a good overview and explanation of what I feel are the most pertinent particulars, are presented.

THEORY

In any "beginning" (or at any "core"), philosophically speaking, there are only two possibilities. These options are "something" or "nothing". Regardless of belief, it cannot be disputed that it is either "something" or "nothing" that fundamentally is. In other words, either "something" or "nothing" exists. It is irrelevant, at this point, which it is. What IS relevant is that there is no other option except these. Any particular that exists, even if that particular is "nothing", DOES EXIST and can be called an existence. Therefore, EXISTENCE IS, with "something" or "nothing" being mere descriptors of what that existence is. Since existence itself cannot be disputed, the fact that EXISTENCE itself cannot NOT BE, is also indisputable. Based on this, it is self evident that EXISTENCE IS, without being created, and is inherently impossible to destroy. Also proven is the fact that "nothing", in and of itself, is impossible. If it is "nothing" that exists, then that "nothing" is the "something" that is, making "something" the only description of existence that can be.

EXISTENCE, having been established and proven to be "something", questions further description of its substance beyond pure generic concept. Considering that it IS, it can be deduced that this "generic concept" substance also has an active quality. This quality, the act of BEING, is called Time. It is the most fundamental trait that Existence possesses, and should not be mistaken for a separate, or "next to", kind of thing. Truly it is one with the "pure generic
