A deist is somebody who believes in a god or higher power, but believes humans have not identified this higher power or god. In other words, all organized religion is almost definitely false, according to deists. Deists technically are embracing an argument from ignorance. However, this is different from a typical argument from ignorance, because the premise is very different. For example, a deist will propose there must be an original creator of existence because, if you follow the logic of a god's existence, you must forever continue asking "who created god? Who created the creator of that God? Etc."
Deism is basically a "first cause" proposition, meaning they believe in a higher power or a god creating the universe, but this higher power/god must necessarily transcend time itself, because everything we know inside of time follows the basic laws of time (having a beginning and end). But, if everything has a beginning, there is never a true beginning of existence itself. That true beginning must have a higher power (or a god). Something without a beginning (transcending time itself) must have formed the universe, ultimately, even if there were previous universes that spawned our current universe in which we live.

A deist is someone who believes in science and reason, like atheists, but also believes in a first cause or higher power.

Get the Deisi mug.The most meaningful thing on earth or any realm really. If you get her, you get nirvana. If you lose her, you are certain to be in the trap of a bloody witch and you better figure it out on your own how to break the spell on you and your loved ones and get the hell out! You save your life yourself, nobody else can do for you but Dikshya can sure help as an enlightened one. Rare. Gorgeous. Amazingly gifted. Don't miss her, get her to complete you. She is a miracle. Thank God.

Get the Go bun my wif diks mug.A very shy girl, she loves to bright up a room. She usually sticks with one group of people, she trusts them with her heart! She is very sensitive, but easy to cheer up. If you have a friend named Deekshitha, tell her how much she means to you.
Hi Deekshitha! What's wrong?
