# New God Argument

> The New God Argument is a logical argument for faith in God, based on moral and practical assumptions consistent with current science and emerging technology trends. It argues that trust in the superhuman potential of our civilization entails faith in a compassionate creator, connecting human experience to religion through secular reasoning.

The New God Argument presents a prospective and empirical approach to the existence of God, unlike traditional retrospective philosophical arguments. It's structured around five key assumptions that describe both the possibility space for our civilization's future and specific possibilities we may prefer. The argument concludes that superhuman civilizations would likely be more compassionate than we are and a superhuman civilization would have created our world, which may qualify as God in some religious traditions.

The website contains the complete logical structure of the argument, supporting evidence from religious authorities across multiple traditions, and extensive commentary on the argument's evolution and implications.
