"You, however, know how all these subjects are connected together; for there is nothing else in existence but God and His works, the latter including all existing things besides Him: we can only obtain a knowledge of Him through His works; His works give evidence of His existence, and show what must be assumed concerning Him, that is to say, what must be attributed to Him either affirmatively or negatively" (Maimonides).
Unaided by monotheistic theology, how do we deduce the impossibility of multiple gods based on what we know about the universe and personal experience?
