Cristhian Lozano | 2 comments Is there God? Beyond the belief in a higher entity, can human logic prove God's existence? I have set out to test the various paradoxes that, at first glance, seem to make the existence of God impossible. As a result of this work, I have created the saga of texts titled DEMONSTRATING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD . In this first installment, I address the analysis of the "stone paradox," which poses the question: "If God can do everything, can He create a stone that even He cannot lift?"

What do you think? Have I reached a definitive answer that resolves the paradox of the stone? I would love to read your opinion.

John Jenny | 9 comments Hi Cristhian,
we admire your courage in taking on the classic paradox of the unliftable stone — not just with belief, but with reason. Your inquiry reminds us of another thinker working at the edge of physics and philosophy: Sabine Hossenfelder.

In one of her thought experiments, she suggests that God may well exist — not as an all-knowing being beyond time, but as the universe itself, learning through human experience.

In this model, God isn’t omniscient — yet. And suddenly, the paradox dissolves:
A stone too heavy to lift is no longer a question of divine power, but of evolving knowledge. Of perspective. Of growth.

This is one of the philosophical threads woven into our novel “Fort Knox – The Greatest Heist of All Time”. On the surface, it’s a thriller: a mysterious character named Kim sets out to steal the U.S. gold reserves — not for money, not for revenge, but to test whether reality itself can be rewritten.

In the epilogue, we invite readers to imagine life from the perspective of a lactic acid bacterium. One that lives unaware it is producing delicious cheese for creatures it cannot comprehend — just as we humans might not realize that our thoughts are generating new insights for something vastly larger than ourselves.
Perhaps the universe — or God — learns through human minds, not beyond them. And maybe that's why the stone is not immovable: because the lifting is still happening.

We’d love to hear how your own logic-based journey relates to this narrative approach.

In the end, logic and story are not opposites — they are parallel paths toward deeper understanding.

Warm regards from Asia,

John Eduard & Jenny
