Time is more than just a concept. we can measure things with time. We can say that time is required for any thing to exist.
Ok, how bout the comfy chair?
A thing is said to exist if it has shape and a location. It is said to be an object and it is physical. A car exists because it has a static distance from other objects (which is its location) and has space to give it contour. This is the definition I use to determine if actual physical objects exist.
Concepts like love, justice, running, mercy, morality, evil, god, satan, religion, afterlife, motion, etc. aren't objects because they lack shape and location. Can you draw me justice or love? NO! These are man-made ideas. God is a man-made idea.
Please define the word "exist" or "exists" unambiguously and explain how God exists. Is he an object (therefore having location and shape) or is he a concept (therefore being man-made) ?
Bill Clinton It Depends on what the meaning of the word is is - YouTubeCan you please define the word "exist" first.
I define "exists" by the context of the sentence it is used in.So you define exist as "it depends on what the meaning of the word is"?
God is as real as a sunshiny day.You can answer the dang question in an unambiguous rational manner.
Couldn't you derive a scientific test to determine if the girlfriend exists independent of any relationship?
The relationship exists in the minds of my girlfriend and me. I recognize my love for her and her love for me and she recognizes her love for me and my love for her. These are the products of the mind, which are known as concepts. Love is a concept. It is not physical. When you say "That thing exists." what are you referring to? Does that thing exist in the physical world, in the minds of people, or outside the universe?
To get back to my OP, is god a concept or an object? Remember, all objects are physical and all concepts are the products of human minds.
I think Asvin would make a good politician, eh?Something you think about or you feel about may not be the product of you. You feel a light is "bright". That is your reaction, not your product.

Something you think about or you feel about may not be the product of you. You feel a light is "bright". That is your reaction, not your product. You love this girl, but not that girl. It is not your product, but is your reaction. Something (real) stimulated you, and you have a feeling about it.
God is as real as a sunshiny day.
stupid test. you can "see" her.
No.I define "exists" by the context of the sentence it is used in.

From the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

It means to walk the earth as God incarnate, die on a cross and resurrect the third day.
