You are thinking like a tranny. This is not Western classical metaphysics. Reality is real, it leads and out of it arise universals. We have the laws of logic. Time has a beginning and an end. Asia would still be living in their wooden mud huts without our logic and science, which were all made possible because we know the universe was created by an intelligent creator who imprinted his design in nature. This we call Empiricism. Come on home. If you want to see Asian metaphysics in action, spend a week in India. I dare you. Total chaos and disorder. Oh, it smells like poop. This is the power of Buddhism

I can prove God exists using reasoning alone. Tell me, what can create itself out of nothing? Everything that exists within time and space is a caused thing, it depends on its existence from something else. Since everything clearly exists, there must have been an uncaused cause that isnt bound by time or space hence eternal. It also has to be personal for it chose to create something ex nihilo. So an eternal personal being. That is God. You cannot refute the 5 arguments for God by Thomas Aquinas. Please give it a try, "smart" agnostic. Your erudition is in fact zero. You know nothing about existence.
