To recognize God is a requirement, which is raised by reason to itself though, beyond the capability of the reason. Since recognition is always connected with the intuition, if we can not intuit God, doubtlessly, God would not be recognized by us. For this cause all the rational proofs of God have made the same mistake:an empirical synthetic proposition, which refers a predicate of existence to a subject, is confused with an logical analytic proposition, which abstracts necessarily a predicate from a subject. Because the predicate of logic is different from that of existence, so God, who is deduced from a disjunctive proposition, is an illusion of logic, not an existential primary being. Therefore the reason, why the world presents as an absolute totality, can not be due to the existence of God, but should only be considered as a rational interest.With the negation about the rational proofs of the existence of god, Kant had removed the natural theology away from the field of the understanding. As for the existence of God just in the moral theology has it's position. Although God can not be recognized, but it is still necessary for the recognition. Because the knowledge not only means that we can perceive something, but it also requires that the thing should be understood, and the understanding would be imperfect, if it has not reach a absolute necessary totality. Therefore, despite a constitutive effective, the idea of God has an regulative use. In this sense, namely in the field of the recognition, God cannot disappear and it is also the idea of the knowledge.Pursuing a systematic and teleological knowledge is the nature of reason. The reason require to recognize God, and the'critical'is located in the transcendental theology, all this have made the nature clearly. The reason why the metaphysics had been lost into transcendental illusions, that is, fallen into the "battlefield of metaphysics"', is that the nature of reason has been forgotten. Therefore, to understand the meaning of the 'Copernican revolution'of cognition, which was caused by the'battlefield of metaphysics', with the help of the'rational court', requires to return to the road of 'Wissenschaft'.
