A God
capable of proof would be no God at all; since this would mean that there is
something higher than God from which His existence can be deduced. But this applies not only to the ordinary
reasoning of the deductive logic. It
does not apply to that higher kind of proof which may be said to consist in the
mind being guided back to the clear recognition of its own ultimate
pre-suppositions. Proof in Theism
certainly does not consist in deducing God’s existence as a lower from a
higher; but rather in showing that God’s existence is itself the last postulate
of reason—the ultimate basis on which all other knowledge, all other belief
rests.
