A science of metaphysics providing an a priori proof in God's existence as an omniscient and omnipotent Being; following the critical demands of Immanuel Kant for a science as put forth in his "Critique of Pure Reason" and "Prolegomena". With an Appendix citing Kant's most significant remarks in this regard from both works, along with accompanying quotes from David Hume's "Treatise of Human Nature". This Appendix allows Kant to clarifying himself by citing his actual remarks rather than offering a commentary on his thoughts and intentions, with only the assistance of this science to clarify what Kant meant by, for instance, a 'transcendental apperception,' or a synthetic cognition a priori. Kant's demand for objective validity is cited, and this science clarifies the passage as it fits the definition of what Kant meant by 'this other knowledge a priori' of which he speaks. As Kant also put forth the preliminary question: "How are synthetic cognitions a priori possible?" The answer I afforded to this was published in "The Review of Metaphysics" March 2013 under the title "Beyond Kant and Hegel". The science, renders rationally understandable certain otherwise ambiguous passages. In this regard, Hegel is also cited as the premise of the science happens to agree with Hegel's ideas concerning 'an ultimate beginning', as expounded in his 'science of logic', though Hegel offered no synthesis of complete understanding, following from his premise through to his conclusion.
