    A CRITIQUE OF PROOFS OF DIVINITY IN THE SYSTEM OF IBN AR RUSHD5

    UND-LUSI:6

    Ibn Ar Rushd{ verroaes} has made several arguments to shew that the PROOFS for the7

    Divine Existence presented by a number of Orthodox and Unorthodox sects in Islam are incorrect8

    and wrong.9

    How ever in this article , the arguments or proofs presented by Ibn Ar Rushd himself are examined10

    a, analysed, refuted as according to the INCONSISTENT philosophical system of the so called11

    Philosopher namely Ibn Ar Rushd Al Undulusi.12

    It may be noted that Ibn Ar Rushd follows the principles of Atheism , though he claims to be a13

    believer in Deity. Either he is ignorant of the consequences of his system and arguments or he14

    deliberately do not mention them, but deliberately conceal them so that those who agree with him15

    in these may reach to the result i.e denial of the Existence Of Deity. In this work it is not tried to16

    refute Ibn Ar Rushds argument against proofs Asharites and Maturidites in Supprt of Divine17

    Existence. But it is attempted to prove that Arguments for Divine Existence presented by Ibn Ar18

    Rushd {Averroes}is in correct according to his own principles of his system of philosophy.19

    It may be noted that Deity is impossible to be proved in his system, that is why he did not analyzed20

    his own arguments/proofs critically. This provided a chance to others to analyze his provided21

    proofs.22

    First Argument Of Ibn Ar Rushd about The Existence Of Deity [Divine Existence=DE]23

    The first argument is similar to the argument of Design. This argument is somewhat analogous to24

    the Intelligent Design Theory proposed to combat Evolution Theories in The science of biology.25

    Evolutionist are afraid that that if it is accepted then the Intelligent Designist shall argue that A26

    DESIGN implieth a Designer , by using Ibn Ar Rushs argument of Induciveness.Designist like Ibn Ar27

    Rushd do not believe in the possibility of Co-incidence .On the other hand Evolutionists believe in28

    some what controlled Co-incidence. Whether this Theory of Rational Design or Intelligent Design is29

    correct or not , and whether it can give tough time to the theories of Evolutions or not, is not the30

    issue. The issue is that whether a Design whether Rational (Intelligent) or Not implies a Designer or31

    not. The problem may be simplified as follow:- Where a Design implies a Designer or not.32

    In Ibn Ar Rushds system it not only does not but it cannot imply.33

    Returning back to CONDUCIVENESS proposed by Ibn Ar Rushd , Ibn Ar Rushd argues that34Conduciveness implies an Intending Agent, which is the Deity. But the system which he is using35

    does not and cannot accept this Implication.36

    The Argument37

    All Existing Things Exist for a Purpose.38

    All Existing Things are conducive to human beings.39

    3

    This CONDUCIVENESS is related to a Rational Intending Existing Suppositum which is the Agent40

    Of this CONDUCIVENESS i.e The Conduciveness of All Thing to Human Beings.41

    This CONDUCIVENESS is not a COINCIDENCE since Coincidence is Impossible.42

    Any corruption in the Conduciveness implies the destruction of human beings.43

    This argument is not according to the System Of Ibn Ar Rushd, as it shall be seen below:-44

    EXAMPLE:-45

    If a person sees a stone on earth and finds it conducive to be sat on , he realizes that this stone is46

    made in this form by some one who is an intelligent / rational Intending Agent. But if the person47

    does not see it conducive to any thing he shall not ascribe it to any Intending rational Agent.48

    ANALYSIS.49

    It appears that this Purpose is this Conduciveness stated above.50

    If a thing is conducive to any other thing then Conduciveness (to the second thing ) is the51

    Attribute of the first .52

    In other words A THING IS CONDUCIVE TO ANOTHER THING IF AND ONLY IF53

    CONDUCIVENESS TO THE LATTER THING IS THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE54

    FIRST THING .55

    This proves that if any one of the two cease to exist this conduciveness stated above also ceases56

    exist.57

    Ibn Ar Rushd thinks that a minimum change in the prime Conduciveness implies the perfect58

    destruction of the latter thing.59

    REMARKS:60

    Ibn Ar Rushd did not criticize this argument as he did in regard to the arguments of Orthodox and61

    Unorthodox systems of Islam.62

    If he had done so he would have found that his own system of arguments makes this argument63

    invalid and incorrect.64

    He cannot defend this argument with out damaging his own system.65

    He cannot use the system of other sects to refute these objections since he does not believe in66

    them.67

    In this article it is attempted to prove that this ALLEGED and SO CALLED proof is inconsistent to his69

    system as well as incorrect and invalid.70

    A)REFUTATION OF FIRST ATTEMTED PROOF OF RUSHDIAN DEITY:71

    A,1) FIRST DISCUSSION ON FIRST ARGUMENT.72

    According to the dogmas of Ibn Ar Rushd the otherwise of any event is IMPOSSIBLE. For example if73

    a Body B is moving from point A to point C in nature SAY EVENT E1 then it is Immpossible in74

    Rushdian system that it moves from C to A say event E. The reason for the75

    ABSURDITY/IMPOSSIBILITY of the event is as follow:-76

    If Event E2 occurs then it implies the Annihilation of Divine Wisdom. Annihilation Of Divine77

    Wisdom is Impossible. One that implies an Impossible is itself Impossible. Therefore event E2 is78

    Impossible.79

    Now if event two is Impossible it is impossible to be in Divine Power since Divine Power is Over80

    Possibilities

    ONLY81

    IF a thing is Not in Divine Power and is IMPOSSIBLE to be In Divine Power then It is also82

    Impossible to be Intended[Willed]by Divine Intention[Will]. On similar reasoning it can be proved83

    that in the Rushdian system the Non Occurance of Event E1 is also imposible. Suppose that the84

    Event E1 did occur at time .At time its Non Occurrence was Impossible There fore it was85

    Impossible to be in Divine Power and Impossible to be Intended by Deity at time .. 86

    SINCEthe Non Occurance of Event E1 implies the Annihilation of the Divine Wisdom87

    , and Annhilation of Divine Wisdom is impossible in Rushdian System.88

    So it is not in Divine Power , not to occur event E1, and not possible to89

    Not to do E1 by Divine Intention (Will).90

    Now if Deity has no alternative to choose , and the Deity cannot NOT DO an act91

    then there is no Divine Intention and no Divine Will.(Deity CEASETH to be a Free92

    Agent, which implieth that Deity Ceaseth to be the Absolute Free Agent with an93

    Absolute Free Intention /Will. Also Deity Ceaseth to be an Omnipotent Agent.) The act of doing E1 is94

    therefore certainly not a Voluntary act of Deity. If not a voluntary act then an95

    unvoluntary act. If an unvaluntary act then an Immanent Unvoluntary act.96

    If so then this argument of Ibn Ar Rushd fails to hold.97

    This shews that this attempted proof of Ibn Ar Rushd is not only inconsistent in his Philosophical system98

    but it is incorrect since Ibn Ar Rushd is unable to explain or to define the meaning of Divine99

    Intention/Will. What sort of will/intention is in the mind of Ibn Ar Rushd if the Per se Subsistent100

    Suppositum to which the Intention/Will is ascribed has no alternative to choose , not even the Suppositum101

    is sufficiently free for not to do . This Implies that Deity is an Intention-less[Will-less] Existing102

    Suppositum, and the event E1 is occurred with out being intended and with out being willed.This implies103

    5

    That it is an unintentional and unvoluntary act.104

    It is invalid to attempt to prove a Rational Intending Per se Subsistent Suppositum as an agent of an Act105

    which is Involuntary and Unintentional.106

    It does appear that Ibn Ar Rush is not ignorant of these flaws in his system and in his this particular107

    argument , yet he conceals them supposing that these flaw shall never be detected by any one.108

    In his zeal to refute Imam Al , Ibn Ar Rushd made such arguments which could even destroy109

    his own arguments. Analyzation and refutation of Arguments coined by Ibn Ar Rushd against the proofs110

    of Imam Al is beyond the scope of present discussion.It may amuse a number of Atheists that111

    alleged arguments made by Ibn Ar Rushd against Imam Al R. can be used against Ibn Ar112

    Rushd him self. So Ibn Ar Rushds own objections are valid on this first proof.113

    Ibn Ar Rushd s first argument is invalid. Q.E.D.114

    (Some more refutations are in second discussion about Rushds first proof/argument what so ever it may115

    be).116

    A,2) SECOND DISCUSSION ON FIRST ARGUMENT.117

    If the Act(ion) of Induciveness is ascribed to the very Ousia (Substance/Essence) of the Per se118

    Subsistent Suppositum THEN this Conduciveness cannot be a Voluntary Act/Action Of the Stated119

    above Suppositum irrespective of the cases whether the Suppositum possesses the Attribute of120

    Intention or Not, Since the Ousia is unvoluntarily Necessary.This does reduce the whole problem to121

    Aristotelian Cause and Effect Problem ,where the cause is with out any Will or Intention. In this122

    case Independent of the Intention (Will) of the Supposition , if The Suppositum Doeth Have Any.In123

    this case the Rushdian Argument is unsound and invalid in his own system of philosophy. It fails to124

    prove an Per se Subsistent Agent with An Intention.125

    Possibility of ascription of an act (in this case Inductiveness)126

    to the Ousia Of The Per se Subsistent Agent instead of the Intention Of Per se Subsistent Agent127

    MAKES the Rushdian Argument Invalid in his ownsystem of Philosophy. There is no Impossibility128

    of this , and thus no intending Per se Subsistent Agent is can be proved.129

    Summary:- Either the Per se Subsistent Agent is with out any Intention. In this case the argument130

    fails, OR it is with an Attribute of Intention. In the latter case there are two possible cases. Either the131

    Act(ion)of Conduciveness is Independent of the stated above Attribute (Quality)or Not . If it is then132

    the argument fails, and if not then it is discussed in:- A,3)133

    A,3) Third discussion On Second FIRST Argument.134

    For sake of simplicity the term Per se subsistent Agent is reduced to Agent, also that the discussion may become more general and if there is135

    some once who can conceive the idea of a non per se subsistent agent can also be refuted.136

    137

    If this action (of conduciveness ) is ascribed to the Intention of this Agent, and this Intention of138

    Agent Is An Attribute Of This Agent , THEN This Conduciveness is an Action Of the Attribute Of the139

    Agent. There are two logically possible cases:-140

    A,3,1) This Intention (Will) is Not Eternal.141

    A,3,2)This Intention (Will) is Eternal.142

    If this Intention Is Not Eternal then there are two possible cases.143

    A,3,1,1) The Agent is Not- Eternal.144

    (Agent and Intention Both are Non Eternal)145

    A,3,1,2)The Agent is Eternal.146

    (Agent is Eternal and Intention is Not)147

    If the gent

    and the Intention each one of the two, is Not Eternal ,then Ibn Ar Rushd is entangled in148

    further problems and difficulties. )The Agent cannot be the Deity since Even Rushd believed149

    Deity to be Eternal . If this Agent is not Deity then the proof becomes invalid.Since Ibn Ar Rushd did150

    want to prove the Deity, not a Not-Deity Agent. Deity Must Necessary be Eternal.151

    )Either this Agent is brought in Existence from Nothingness by Itself or It is brought in Existence152

    by another Agent truly distinct from it. If it is the former case the argument /proof becomes in-valid153

    ,since if it is accepted that it is Possible for a thing to come in Existence from nothingness , it is self154

    brought in existence from non existence , and is Not Eternal, then there is no need of a Deity, who is155

    supposed to bring things into existence from nothingness. If it is the latter case then a series of156

    Agents each one distinct from the other is implied in the backward direction. This is an infinite157series ,which continues infinitely and is ad infinitum. So Ibn Ar Rushd cannot maintain that the158

    Agent of Conduciveness is Not Eternal. So Ibn Ar Rushd cannot maintain each one of the two.159

    Hence160

    Thus this case cannot prove Deity. Hence the case Agent and Intention Both are Non Eternal161

    cannot be accepted.162

    163

    Problem Of Non Eternal Intention and Eternal Agent.164

    If the Agent is Eternal and the Intention is Temporal then this is IMPOSSIBLE in Rushdian System.165

    FOR DETAILS SEE:-166

    167

    Problem Of Eternal Intention and Eternal Agent.168

    If the Agent and its Intention both are Eternalthen the Thing Intended is Also Eternal as according to Rushdian169

    system, But The Intended One id est Conduciveness cannot be Eternal.170

    FOR DETAILS SEE:-171

    If Ibn r Rushdmaintains that each one of the two i.e Agent of this Conduciveness and the Intention172

    of the Agent is Eternal then this implies according to his own system of philosophy that The173

    Intention of the Agent and the Intended One i.e this Conduciveness is Eternal ,since in this case it is174

    an Act(ion) of the Agent , and in his system if an Agent is Eternal then its Act or Action is also175

    ETERNAL.This implies that the OBJECT Of the Action is Also Eternal. It must be noted that AN176

    ACTION IS A CORRLATION BETWEEN THE AGENT OR ATTRIBUTE OF AGENT AND THE177

    OBJECT OF THE ACTION. But this is incorrect.Since CONDUCTIVENESS Of All Things To178

    Human Beings Cannot BeEternal. It shall be shewn latter that why it cannot179

    be so.180

    ---------{1}181

    (See {2})182

    A,3,1,2,1)183

    How ever if it is accepted that,,then it may be the case that184it is with out a cause or in is an Effect independent of the will of its Cause. In any case this proof / argument of Ibn185

    Ar Rushd is not proveable in his system.Ibn Ar Rushd attempts to prove an Agent with the Attribute Of Intention,186

    but if it is accepted then he cannot prove an Agent with the Attribute of Intention. This implies a flaw in his system or187

    in his proof or in his argument. His claim cannot be proved at least in tis case , the case under discussion.188

    In Essence he had to prove the Impossibilityof each one of the following before arguing in support of a Per se189

    subsistent agent Attributed with the Attribute of Intention/Will.190

    Ibn Ar Rushd had to prove Each one of the following:- a) An191

    Intentionless Eternal Cause of Conduciveness is192

    Impossible.193

    b) If a cause is Attributed by the Attribute of intention then194it is Impossible that any thing is an Effect of It195

    Independent of This Eternal Intention .196

    8/19

    8

    C)It is Impossible that this Conduciveness is Eternal197

    Without a cause.198

    If any one of the above is not proved in his system the case199

    Agent and Intention Both are Non Eternal does beome invalid.200

    A,3,1,2,2) REASON WHY CONDUCIVENESS CANNOT BE ETERNAL.201

    First:-CONDUCIVENESS is a correlation between All Things and Human Beings.202

    According to the System Of Ibn Ar Rushd If one of the correlate (Correlatant) is Not203

    Eternal then neither the Correlation is Eternal Nor The Other Correlate is Eternal.204

    Since No Human Being is ETERNAL then the Correlation and the other Coorelatant /205

    Correlate (All Things) is( are )Not Eternal. But this Non Eternal Correlation is the206

    Act(ion) Of An Agent. There fore The AGENT Cannot be Eternal. But Ibn Ar Rushd207

    Cannot maintain that this Agent is Non Eternal. Since in this case the Agent must208

    require an other Agent and this is Ad Infinitum.209

    Second:-An Other Problem is that This Conduciveness Which is a Correlation210

    between All THINGS AND Human Beings is an Action/Act of an AgentWHICH211

    CANNOT BE AN ETERNAL

    g nt

    OF THIS ACT ION) WHICH IS NOT ETERNAL ,as212

    according to his system.213

    Third:- Is not possible for a relation Correlation) to be one and same between and 214

    AND .215

    ..{2}216

    (Referred to {1})217

    A logical possibility is that the Intention is Eternal but the Agent of Intention is Not Eternal. But this is impossible218

    Since this implies an Attribute With Out Any Per Se Subsistent Essence to which it is ascribed. This Implies that219

    an Attribute is no more an Attribute but An Essence Or In more scrit wording a Per Se Subsistent Essence.220

    CONCLUSION

    221

    There are logilally possible cases

    222

    1]The A ction Of Conduciveness is with out an Intention and the

    223

    Agent of the action is Intentionless.

    9/19

    9

    2] The A ction Of Conduciveness is independent of the Intention

    225

    of the Agent and the Agent is with Intention.

    226

    3] The Action is Under Intention of the Agent but both the Agent

    227

    and Intention are Not Eternal.

    228

    4] The Action is Under Intention of the Agent but both the Agent

    229

    and Intention are Eternal.

    230

    5] The Action is Under Intention of the Agent but the Agent is

    231

    Eternal and the intention of the Agent Intention is not Eternal.

    232

    6] The Action is Under Intention of the Agent but the Agent is

    233

    Not Eternal and the intention of the Agent Intention is Eternal.

    234

    Ibn Ar Rushd cannot hold /maintain any One Of them thus his

    235

    argument is invalid.

    236

    A,3,1,2,3)A POSSIBLE ANSWER AND ITS REFUTATION

    237

    It may be said that the relation or the correlationis not between all things and238

    human beings but either between all things and materials of human being or239

    materials of all things and materials of human beings. In either case the material are240

    eternal but the thing and beings constituted from them are not. So the correlation241

    may be Eternal even Human beings are not . Similarly all things which do exist may242

    not be eternal yet their materials are eternal. In general the entire Cosmos is not243

    Eternal yet the Matterials from which the Cosmos is constituted is Eternal.244

    Refutation:

    245

    The basic problem is that the correlation is neither between All things and the246

    Matter form which Human Beings are Constituted, nor between the Matter form247

    which All things are constituted and the Matter from which Human Beings are248constituted. The Correlation is between ALL THINGS and Human Beings. If atleast One249

    of the two Correlates /Correlatants is Non Eternal, the Correlation is Not Eternal, and250

    the other one of the two is also Non Eternal. But there are further problems to this251

    answer. The Question is how it the Non Eternal Beings were made or created from252

    Eternal Beings (Eternal Matters).253

  • 8/11/2019 IBN ARRUSHD'S SYSTEM IS UNABLE TOPROVE DEITY

    10/19

    Page | 10

    10

    Since this means that the Eternal Beings Must Necessarily have remained as the were in Eternity for254

    an infinite period of time , whether these beings (Eternal Matters) were Eternally Existing255

    Contingents (and owe their existence to the Necessary Being)or Necessary Beings (themselves)256

    like Deity in Rushdian system what so ever.257

    If the Agent of Act(ion) Of Constitution is Eternal then this IMPLICATES and Implies that the258constitution itself is Eternal , AND THIS IS INCORRECT SINCE NO HUMAN BEING IS ETERNAL.259

    Limitations Of Ibn Ar Rushd may be seen below:-260

    A)If the Action is Not Eternal then the Agent is Not Eternal and this implies that the Rusdhian Deity261

    is Not Eternal.262

    B)Ibn Ar Rushd Cannot use the concept of Divine Intention (Will) since according to his SCHEMA or263

    System Divine Intention (Will) is Not An Essential Attribute Of the Essence (Ousia/Per se Subsistent264

    One) Of Deity (As Power, Knowledge,Life Speech are Essential Attributes), but a Correlation which265

    ceases to be if one of the correlates ceases to be.266

    C) An Infinite Time which has neither Beginning nor End , Existing since Eternity, Cannot and Does267

    not cease. So the Divine Intention cannot choose the act of Constitution after an infinite period since268

    Eternity. Thus Divine Intention Cannot be responsible for the constitution of the Not Eternal Beings269

    from the Eternal Beings using these Eternal Beings as Materials of latter Beings.270

    According to the System Of Ibn Ar Rushd An Eternal Per Se Subsistent Cannot be an Agent Of a Non271

    Eternal Unless and Other Wise there is Some Mutation or Change in the Eternal Per Se Subsistent.272

    A dogma which Asharites and Maturidites Reject. Not only Orthodox Sunni Sects regects but273

    unorthodox sects like Mut-z-las also it reject equally. Only Caramites (modified Hashvites) and274

    Extreme Hasvites hold this strange view. But Ibn Ar Rushd if agrees with Orthodox sects faces a275problem , since he attempts to criticize them since they reject this dogma, if agrees with Caramites276

    faces an other problem. Since Philosophers hold that Deity or cause of all causes is Immutable and277

    Unchangeable . Also in this case Ibn Ar Rushd must have to face the Absurdity /Impossibility Of Ad278

    Infinitum. Since the question is what is the cause of this alleged Mutation in the Per Se Subsistent279

    Deity, and what is the agent of this so called change in the Deity.280

    2)SECOND Argument Of Ibn Ar Rushd about The Existence Of Deity [Divine Existence=DE]281

    This argument may be renamed as Argument Of Abiogenesis282

    It is based on the alleged observation of life issuing from Non Living Matterials , leading us to Know for283 certain that there is a producer and a provider of Life.284

    This argument of Ibn Ar Rushd is a subject of many objections in the Philosophical System Of Ibn Ar285

    Rushd himself.286

    Ibn Ar Rushd maintains that life ( on earth) is produced and provided , and that it Must Necessary287

    Have A Producer and A Provider.288

  • 8/11/2019 IBN ARRUSHD'S SYSTEM IS UNABLE TOPROVE DEITY

    11/19

    11

    2,a)First objection on second attempted proof of Ibn Ar Rushd.289

    Ibn Ar Rushd cannot maintain that this Producer or Provider (or Both) is Himself (Itself) Produces or290

    Provided or Both.291

    Since this would imply that this Producer or Provider or Both does require another Producer or292

    Provider or Both. This would necessarily continue , and does Imply Ad Infinitum.293

    2,a,a)Ibn Ar Rushd cannot maintain that this Producer or Provider or One That is Both, is Eternal since294

    If the Producer or Provider or One That Is Both (A PRODUCER AND A PROVIDER) is Eternal then the295

    actions / acts of this Eternal Producer or Provider (or Both) Must be Eternal as according to his own296

    system. Consequently the Life which is either produced (from Non Living Things) or is provided (to Non297

    Living Things) must be Eternal.298

    This is impossible since the appearance or production or providence or provision of life, all of them are299

    Non Eternal.300

    Thus his own argument fails in his own system.301

    2,a,b)Ibn Ar Rushd cannot maintain that .304

    Since one that is neither produced nor provided is either Eternal or nor Eternal. If Eternal thin this305

    contradicts this case. Hence is incorrect. If Non eternal and neither produced nor provided, then it306

    means either it comes in existence with out a producer and with out a provider. This implies that307

    Existence of Deity is not only Not Eternal but also a co-incidence. But Co-incidence in his system is308

    absolutely impossible. Had it been relatively impossible in his system there would have been a309

    possibility of validity of this argument/proof in his system.310

    The question is did he knew that an Eternal Deity is Impossible in his system?311

    312

    2,b)Second objection on second attempted proof of Ibn Ar Rushd.313

    Ibn Ar Rushd cannot hold the position by inserting the concept of Divine Intention (Will).314

    Unlike and Maturidites who believe that Divine Intention is an Essential Immanent Divine315

    Attribute (Like Divine Life, Divine Omniscience,Divine Omnipotence), Ibn Ar Rushd thinks that Divine316

    Intention is a Correlation.317

    If it is a Correlation then :-318

    The intention is Eternal and Actual IF AND ONLY IFthe thing which is intended is also Eternal and319

    Actual.320

    But the emerged life whether it is provided or produced or both is Certainly Not Eternal.321

    Objections to a possible defense against the stated above objection on second attempted proof.322

    2,b,a):-An Argument against this argument of Ibn Ar Rushd against in his own system is as follow:-323

    The life which is provided or produced or both MUST HAVE BEEN Not- Produced, Not-Provided, and324

    Not Emerged during an INFINITE period of time from Eternity to the time of its production,provision325

    or emergence or all.In Rushdian system this is Impossible and Absurd . Since in his system the Divine326

    Intention cannot be related to one that is intended (i.e life mensioned above) in whih it necessitate its327

    outcomming /production/provision etc. after an Infinite endless time, and what has no end neither can328

    cease nor does cease.Therefore if life is Intended ,it must not become actual from possible or potential329

    unless an infinite endless time has elapsed , which is impossible and absurd.330

    2,b,b);-331

    Divine Intention issues not only the intended production of life and intended life, but also the inclination332

    of the Divine Intention (to each one of them) itself. When this Inclination (which is an Act(ion) of333

    Intention/Will) occurs, this requires a mutation or a change in the Said Intention. According to the334

    Rushdian system if the Divine Intention (Will) is not inclined to anything and then it does inclines to335

    Something then there must be some change or mutation in the said Intention. If there is neither any336

    change nor any mutation in the Divine Intention/Will then it does continue to be not-inclined .Since337

    An Intention inclines from not-inclined state IF AND ONLY IF there is some Change or Mutation IN THE338

    Intention.339

    But if the said Intention is Eternal then their canbe no change in Eternal Intention unless340

    and otherwise there is either a change or a mutation in the Ousia Of the Suppositum of341

    Deity.342

    A change or a mutation ( OR BOTH)occurs in the Ousia Of Deity if an only ifa change or a343

    mutationOR BOTH)

    is (are)POSSIBLE in the Divine Ousia (Ousia Of Deity). But it is Impossible to344

    be Possible. (Since if a thing is Impossible then the possibility of the thing is also impossible).345

    If it is supposed that MUTATION OR CHANGE (OR BOTH)is (ARE)Possible in the ( Ousia Of) Deity THEN346

    This implies THAT a change or a mutation (or both) is(are) also possible in the ( Ousia Of) Deity since347

    any change in this Intention is an effect of a change in the Ousia [Essence/Substance/Subsistence] of the348

    very Deity. (It must be noted that Ouisa Of Deity /Divine Ouisa is Nothing but the very Deity Himself) This is Impossible.349

    Even Caramites(Modified Hash-vides) do not say such a thing.350

    If it is not Eternal then it must have an agent.Since change in Divine Intention is an act and an act351

    requires an agent. Once again an infinite number of agents each one prior to the next one in352backword direction,This is Ad Infinitum.Ad Infinitum is Impossible and Absurd.353

    If no change or no mutation (or none of them) is occurred in the Divine Intention and it is as it was354

    since eternity then according to Rushdian system it cannot incline to any thing as it was un-inclined in355

    Eternity, unless and otherwise there is a change or a mutation (or both) in the said Intention. The356

    consequence is the non production ,non emergence etc. of said life unless and otherwise there is a357

    change or a mutation ( or both).358

    It is clear that Ibn Ar Rushds system of Philosophy is purely Atheistic and no argument in support of359

    Deity is Valid in his system, even his own arguments are invalid in his system. It is a very strong360

    probability that he did knew it, and this does makes suspicions whether he really believed in Divine361

    Deity /Divine Being or not.362

    3) Third Objection on the second attempted proof of Ibn Ar Rushd.363

    This attempted proof depends upon the Abiogenesis theory of life.364

    Although it is evident that in the beginning of the planet earth , there was no life on it, and Life on this365

    planet began by an Abiogenesis process what so ever, this process is not seen by any human being who366

    so ever he may be. Since life appeared prior to human life on earth. So the knowledge of Abiogenesis is367

    different from the knowledge of Biogenesis and Reproduction of life from human beings. Yet he368

    considers knowledge of both of them equal and similar, where as they are neither of the two. As the369

    appearance of life from Non Living thing is never observed , he is certainly in error when he claims that370

    life or living things or both appears from non living things or dead things or both. So his argument is371

    based on incorrect observation. In strict sense on NON OBSERVATION.372

    4)Fourth Objection on the second attempted proof of Ibn Ar Rushd.373

    If animal life or plant life or any other life of being which is neither animal or plant what so ever , is374

    eternal then this argument /proof of Ibn Ar Rushd what so ever , becomes invalid and incorrect.375

    So there is no explanation of life in his system, how did life appeared on planet earth.376

    (It may be noted that Ibn Ar Rushd did not considered earth as a planet. So one may drop the word377

    planet with out disturbing the validity of above arguments.) .378

    PRIME MOVER OF ARISTITELIAN SYSTEM AND379ITS IMPOSSIBILITY IN RUSHDIAN SYSTEM.380

    Ibn Ar Rushd advocates Aristotelian system in general. The founder of the381

    system the great Aritotle (Arastu/Artatalis) PROPOSED that there is a382

    Eternal Being which is the prime unmoved mover.383

    He tried to prove the Deity from from the motion of objects instead of384

    creation of things.385

    But Rushds system is so Atheistic that even this Unmoved Eternal Mover is386

    Impossible in the Rushdian System.387

    A,a) If a thing is static or stationary in Eternity, that is its motion is Not In388

    Actuality in Eternity, but in Potentiality in Eternity, and its motion did389

    come in actuality from the potentiality , at any given Non Eternal time ,390

    that is it did begin to move from Eternal Rest at Not Eternal Time then the391

  • 8/11/2019 IBN ARRUSHD'S SYSTEM IS UNABLE TOPROVE DEITY

    14/19

    Page | 14

    14

    Agent that did move the thing i.e the Agent of the Act of Motion of the thing392

    stated above Cannot be Eternal in Rushdian System. Since according to his system if393

    the Agent of an Act(ion) is Eternal then the Action of the Agent is also Eternal; and If394

    the Action of an Agent is Not Eternal then the Agent is Not Eternal in his System.395

    A,a,1) From the above it is implied that if the Agent is Eternal then it implies that the396act of moving the thing from Eternal rest is also Eternal, and this contradicts the397

    supposition of the case that it was Eternally Not Moving.398

    ,a,2) If there is an Eternal Attribute Of Intention Of the Agent Between the399

    Eternal Agent and the Non Eternal Action of the Agent then it requires a400

    non ending infinite time from Eternity to the given Non Eternal Time to401

    Lapse .This is not possible in Rushdian system.402

    A,b) If it is supposed that there was neither Potentiality of motion in403

    Eternity no Actuality Of Motion in Eternity in the Eternally Static Existing404Thing, then this implies that there was Eternal Impotentiality In Eternity of405

    the Motion of the Thing in Eternity. Now this makes a further problem In406

    the system of Ibn Ar Rushd. This means that after the lapse of Infinite407

    endless time from the Eternity, first the Impotentiality of motion was408

    changed some how into Potentiality of Motion and then the Potentiality of409

    motion was changed into actuality of motion. Also the question is if their410

    was no potentiality of motion in Eternity , was there Potentiality of411

    Potentiality in Eternity. This is an Ad Infinitum.412

    413

    ,1) If the prime Mover moves the Eternal Object(s) directly at each distinct414

    time since Eternity, such that No Motion at any distinct time is a415

    consequence or an implication (or both) of any distinct motion prior to it,416

    then each distinct motion of the object stated above, at each distinct NON417

    ETERNAL TIMEis Not Eternal. Now any Non Eternal Motion at any418

    Non Eternal Time , there is an infinite endless time since Eternity is419lapsed. A lapse of infinite Eternal time is impossible and Absurd.420

    ,2)It does requires a Non Eternal Intention of the Eternal Agent at each421

    time, and this makes things worse in Rushdian system , where a single Not422

    Eternal Intention of an Eternal Agent is an unsolvable problem, An Infinite423

    series of distinct Non Eternal Intentions of the Eternal Agent is an infinitely424

    greater unsolvable problem of Impossibility.425

    Ibn Ar Rushds Fallacy.426

    15/19

    Although Ibn Ar Rushd admitted that his given proofs are neither Logically427

    Certain Nor Logically Necessary, Yet he claimed that they are based428

    upon{like}:-429

    B,2,1) The knowledge of human beings{about them selves}as rational430

    beings.431

    But he made a fallacy by ignoring the differences between Natural Cases and432

    Divine Case . Since the Divine Case does Implicate problems in his433

    philosophical system but the former do not. Ibn Ar Rushd did admit that the434

    Existence Of Deity is neither provable as a necessity of Deductive Logic nor435

    as a certainty of the Deductive Logic.436

    But the proofs/arguments in support of Deity are Not like The knowledge of human437

    beings{about them selves}as rationalbeings.438

    439

    B,2,2)The Principle Of Induction is also not applicable in the Divine Case,440

    since in Natural case this principle does not imply problems in his system.441

    But the proofs/arguments in support of Deity are Not like the Induction of natural cases.442

    It may be once more stated as follow:-443

    Natural casesare not like DivineCase444

    SincetheyDO NOT MAKE SUCH PROBLEMS IN HIS SYSTEM BUT THE445ARGUMENTS/PROOFS OF DEITY do make such problems in his system. Thus if he says so446

    this means that the invalidity of his system is directly implied by the veryclaims like the447

    proofs/arguments are based on the Knowledge of human beings as rational beings or on the448

    principle of induction etc.449

    IbnAr Rushds system maketh it impossible and absurd that Any Non Eternal Thing is an Effect or an534

    Action/Act OF Any Eternal (whether the eternal is Per Se subsistent or not), and Any Eternal is a Cause or535

    Agent of any Non Eternal, (whether the Eternal is Perse susbsistent or not).536

    In delatil whether the Eternal is an537

    Act(action/work),Attribute(Quality),Ousia(Essence/Substance/Persesubsistent one),Suppositum, Nature538

    etc.539

    Thus An Eternal cannot(what so ever) be cause of any Non Eternal (what so ever).540

    Thus the system is Atheistic in its nature, and one who does accept this system541

    Soon concludes that Atheism is the only conclusion of this system.542

    How ever it is shewn in this work that his own arguments cannot by correct if his system is correct.543

    And if his system his incorrect the then a number of arguments /proofs of Divine Existence may be544
