Answer this!!?

Question

Many people ask about why we believe in God and us proving the fact of God's existence...now i want to ask can you prove that God doesn't exist!!!...give explanations why you believe as such...i know many would state scientific examples!!! apart from this those who believe in God..support my question.

Answer 1

The problem with human kind is its ignorance...and logic. As the world develops people tend to judge the basis of truth and lie on the evidence that is laid infront of them. The fact of the question that you asked i would like to state that Religion and Science have always contradicted each other, if an individual considers one to be true then believes the other is false...the two have a very different perspective about the existence of human race. The theory we have in science of evolution tells of how we transformed from apes to what we are now...and in Bible in the Genisis we know about Adam and Eve and how God created them..It is a very difficult concept to understand but many of us rely on sources, theroies and belief to put in our understanding. The Bible says 'A faith that depends on the evidence of the senses does not survive trails'...we have to believe something whole-heartedly then only is our belief strong and firm. I chose to respect the evolution theory but believe on God's existence...there are many aspects of life that have been categorized as innate..i.e qualities that are part of us since we are born such as our inner feelings...our conscience is a very good example of this...which helps us to distinguish between right and wrong..true and false...!! As for the evidence of God's existence..is not false as we have been given signs of his existence but we never take them seriously...everything written in the Bible was and is still evident in the world..the path of Jesus carrying his cross to calvary is still there..his tomb..and many..many more!! All this shows us of his existence...Nature..speaks about the wonders of God...but we avoid looking at it...Probably, the need of proving and disproving is upon an individuals belief...i know that someone high above is always protecting and keeping me in his shelter..because i can feel it and i know.. and noone can challenge it logically..!!

Answer 2

I can not prove that god does not exist. Neither can I prove that leprechauns do not exist or that there are no purple monkeys on Mars. The problem with proving anything with an absolute degree of certainty lies in the fact of limited human perception. If I were omniscient, I could look at Mars from every possible viewpoint and say definitively that there are no purple monkeys there. Since I only have human senses, I can only make an educated guess. Because of these limitations, we can only make absolute statements about things with absolutely defined terms and statements that are self-evident. For example, the statement, "2 + 2 = 4" is absolutely true, if we all agree on our definitions of "two", "plus", "equals" and "four". An example of a self-evident statement would be "This statement is true." The statement proves itself and is absolutely true. Unless we can define exactly what god is, we can't even begin to discuss whether or not it exists. All of these factors make it incredibly difficult to prove negative existence (though not impossible). This is why, in any debate over existence, the burden of proof lies on the "pro" side of the arguement.

I CAN say that an omnipotent being cannot exist in this universe, based on certain natural laws (the Law of Conservation of Energy, most notably). Of course, there is a possibilty (however ridiculously slim) that our knowledge of these laws is incorrect, and some omnipotent being does exist. There is also a possibility that the purple monkeys eat diamonds and poop ice cream.

To correct a couple of misconceptions:

We CAN prove a negative statement and negative existence (to the degree of the limits of our perceptions). It's just very difficult to do. If I say, "There are no marbles in your pocket," I can prove it by opening your pocket and showing that there are no marbles. The problem of disproving god lies in the nature of what god may or may not be. If I say that there is no god in your pocket and show you, you could reasonably respond that god is invisible. This is a shortcoming inherent to definition and human perception, not logic.

ruby.rodd: Your question makes a couple of incorrect assumptions:

1) The human form is the "ultimate" evolutionary form.
2) Creatures are no longer evolving. Evolution has hit an endpoint, and all creatures have reached their evolutionary potential.
3) Evolution is a linear process. "Lower" forms are at the bottom, "higher" forms are at the top, and all forms are scaled in between.

In fact, none of these beliefs are held by evolutionary science.

Also, the "someone wise" that you're referring to Blaise Pascal, a seventeen-century French mathemetician and philosopher. It's commonly referred to as "Pascal's Wager". Pascal was attempting to prove, statistically, that belief in god is the "smart bet". There are many flaws in the logic of Pascal's Wager. The most obvious is that belief based on the wager is not true belief. It results in the profession and outward actions of belief, but does nothing to dissuade the believer's legitimate doubts about whether or not god exists. In essence, it creates a hypocrite, not a believer. Check out the link below for more information.

Answer 3

Actually people have tried to prove that God does not exist. There are actually a few books out there. The somewhat ironic thing is that by trying to disprove God they became very devoted Christians. If you're interested, try reading, The Case For Faith, or (what helped me to see the truth of God) A Skeptic's Search for God by Ralph Muncaster

If you honestly try to disprove God and examine the Bible with this intensity, you may get your answer. You cannot disprove God. Try it, you'll get some interesting results =)

Answer 4

There is no proof that God doesn't exist. There is always a possiblity. As one famous Jewish Rabbi said, "Perhaps there is" This won an argument with a famous thinker.


Edit: lol Opus needs to retake some logic courses. You can in fact prove that the light is not on by turning on the light and demonstrating the difference

Answer 5

I am not a philosopher but I firmly believe that God exist:

No matter how bad a situation,, I can always look up to the sky and believe there is someone up there who is just, who will not let the blood and sweat of thosands of people fighting for the right cause go wasted.

In Hindi there is a saying (translated): In God's home there is lateness but not Darkness

Answer 6

There is no proof that He does not exist just as there is no proof that He does exist. The spiritual realm is totally beyond our human mind to comprehend and understand, let alone prove. I do believe in God because when I see all of His creation, I cannot question that there is God and I also know it takes the eyes of faith to be able to believe. I thank God for that gift and for all of His creation.

Answer 7

If Evolution was true, why isn't there a perfect specimen in the human race? Survival of the fittest would provide a super human. Science Fact!!!

Instead, we know Jesus is there for us, Earth and Heavens true King. Our beautiful friend and true saviour.

Sorry, doesn't answer much but... I like your question. No proof.

Someone wise once said

"If God doesn't exist and we do believe, fine. We die."
"If God doesn't exist and we don't believe, fine. We die."
"If God does exist and we believe, fine. Paradise."
"If God does exist and we don't believe...
We are in trouble!!!"

Logic. Common sense. What do you have to lose?

By the way, I cannot see the air. I feel it. I see it's affects. I believe.
I cannot see God. I feel Him. I see His affects. I believe.
I Love.

I Hope.

And I pray for all unbelievers to come to the truth. I love people too. I would not want a single soul to miss out on a beautiful free gift, that took aeons of effort to produce.

Also to clarify, for Muslims and all other forms of religion. God is beautiful and merciful. He struck Babylon tower builders so as to confuse their language because of our pride. He will unite all brothers and sisters from all faiths in his bountiful and beautiful hands, because of our humbeleness. None of us are perfect. Only God can repair the misconceptions that lie within each one of our spiritual departments.

Answer 8

The only way to do this is to prove that a reality in which God does exist is not possible. Good luck with that.

Answer 9

But you see, my dear, the burden of proof isn't on those who don't believe He exists, it is upon those of us who do believe He exists. If I were to say that today is the thirteenth of June to a coma patient, the burden of proof is on me. The coma patient doesn't have to prove that today isn't June 13th. This sort of argument has been used time and again. The best thing we, as Christians, can do, is to stop trying to prove the existence of God and start loving, accepting, and tolerating those who don't see plan as day that He exists. Maybe by our example they'll finally see Him.

Answer 10

Because there is no need for a god. Everything is proved through evolution.
I learned in college that a fact is not a fact unless it can be proven wrong. You can not prove the exsistance of a god wrong, therefore it is not a fact.

Answer 11

How many times am I going to have to answer this? Your argument is just flawed, look: I say that the universe was created by a giant space amoeba from another dimension. Prove me wrong. You can't can you? So it's true! Your argument doesn't make anymore sense than that. I can make up any number of crap theories like this, just right off the top of my head, and you can't disprove a single one of them. But guess what? IT DOESN'T MATTER! Because the burden of proof is on you. Not me. If YOU claim that something is true, it's YOUR job to prove it, not my job to disprove it.
