Abstract
Affirmation or denial of existence of any thing is subordinate of the possibility of it's imagination. Can God be imaged so we can speak of his existence or nonexistence? Sometimes it is said God can not be imagined. The appearance of some religious and mystical texts shows this Idea, but the main idea of these texts is impossibility of imagination of the truth of God by knowledge through concepts, not impossibility of any imagination. Sometimes the appearance of the words of some thinkers who believe in possibility of imagination shows that we can imagine God's essence. This idea is untenable. Sometimes the concepts like "infinite" or "existent in anywhere" are used to show that we can imagine God. These concepts are not understandable in the beginning of affirmation of God to ordinary people. The subject of the proof of God's existence are various and are understandable for ordinary people; issues like "necessary being" i.e. existent that it's existence in necessary or "supernatural designer". But the essence of these attributes can not be imagined and there is not any need to imagination of the essence of these attributes at the beginning of discussion of affirmation and denial of God's existence
