In order for god to create the earth, the animals, everything, he must've had the KNOWLEDGE to do it: genetics, structuring, chemical reactions, etc. Also, to make decisions, be able to discern right from wrong, etc, he would HAVE/NEED a brain.
The brain is a physical, electrically-monitored/controlled muscle. If god is "up there" invisible and "all-seeing", we would see a huge brain flying around at least. A brain cannot be invisible because it needs to conceal the electrical pulses that tell it what to do, and an invisible skull would not allow for that.
No?

You imply that God needs a Mind in order to have Knowledge to create Life.
And you imply that the Mind needs a Brain to exist.
Just like software (Windows XP, Mozilla Firefox) needs a computer to exist.
But that is putting God down to the physical level.
Anyway, there are now developments in the fields of quantum computing and nanotechnology that may one day create the possibility that Artificial Intelligence and software or even copies of our minds may just float about in space, without any hardware required.
The very molecules in the free-floating matter of space would provide the computational basis for the 'Soft Minds' to operate.
What if we are all living in a computer-like simulation, like in The Matrix, and God is, not only the Programmer, but the Operating System, the Intelligence, the Memory System, all at once?
Does physicality suffice as the basis and justification for existence? Can something which has perceived effects on other things but by itself has no physical presence be said to be non-existent?
Can you bottle gravity? See electromagnetic waves? Grasp the strong and the weak nuclear forces in your hands?

that's a good point, but if God had a brain/skull, it would defeat the purpose of God. If it makes sense that a brain would be flying around, why would it make sense that it was flying in the first place? In my opinion "God" is just good nature, but a physical being, just a spiritual force that isn't really real or fake.

This is just a ridiculous premise. The assertion that God would need a human brain to create is ludicrous. If a human brain were capable of creating matter from nothing, the world would be a very different place, don't you think?

More proof than not that God (if there is one) doesn't exist. LOOK AROUND YOU AND ASK YOURSELF...Would God allow such strife and misery on Earth without intervening directly? That's sufficient evidence that there is NO GOD, however, the concept of God to answer those questions that science and philosophy can't is still safe and well...living if you will in the souls of humanity. PEACE!

If God is a physical Being, still there is no way for you to see His head. Just imagine how can an ant see the top of Himalaya, whlie God is far far greater and far subtle than such comparisons! If a baby in the womb of his mother cannot see her brain, is that the proof of her non existence?
You can imagine anything, but your imagination about God is just a fancy without life or reality. It is really funny that many people who know not anything, they just imagine about things and then they try to prove that those things are non existent and take pride for their philosophic thinking!
If you are sincere in seeking truth, you must first realize your igorance. Then you look for elementary teachers, intermediate teachers, advanced teachers, and divine teachers. Before that you must learn to have some preliminary concept about pupil, teacher, education, educational level, educational institution, educational purpose..., it is like you must learn to know the qualities, the use, the real value of diamonds before you go to buy them; otherwise you will buy gross glass for diamond and then conclude that diamond is not diamond. In that case you are fully right, but you earn no wisdom at all.
In the world today, there are still many well known divine Teachers who teach about God such as Moses, Christ, Baha'u'llah..., you should seek them and start your learning. If you have any good reasons to realize that they are not divine Teachers, you must have accurate criteria to seek other divine Teacher for yourself. And if you still refuse to follow this process, I don't know by which other way you can get precise concept about God to recognize Him or to reject Him?
I believe that when you affirm your sincere desire to look for God, God will show you the way to Him as He has shown to billions of other seekers among men.
Please rethink.

No this is not proof that God doesn't exist. You are trying to apply physical attributes to a spiritual being. God doesn't need a brain like a human because he has something far superior, that's why he's God...duh!!

there is a flaw in your true words my Friend god is said to live in another demention a.k.a. heaven and that meaning that there is a hell for every thing has a opposite like Christianity and Scientology and if you read into it religious beliefs all have something in common like Christianity and Budism has the whole single god thing and Christianity and mythology god is an old man with a gray or white beard so is Zeus

Please, do you honestly think that if God didn't want us to see his "brain", he wouldn't be able to hide it from us? He's GOD! Besides, God is a spiritual being, not physical. Of course we humans need brains to function, but God is far more powerful than we are and exists on a different "plane," if you will. Who says he "needs" a brain?

Brains are not the only decision making devices in the Universe, so yer premise is wrong. In addition to that, metaphysics argue that ALL physical things are only manifestations of metaphysical things.
No...... thats not proof.

Your argument is based on the premise that God's physiology functions the same as ours. It does not. Besides, let's say that God DOES have a phiysical brain that functions the same as ours. If he was INFINTATELY knowledgable, then His brain would have to be INFINATELY massive. Your argument doesn't work, but I see where you were coming from...
