It's up to you to prove that god does exist

If you can't prove the tooth fairy doesn't exist, Does that mean she does exist?

Oh no. Next you'll be telling me there are no pixies in my garden.

Are you able to see, hear, breathe, etc? If so..who created that? A cosmic fart that made the systems you use to live...or a Tooth Fairy who knew what he was doing?

And I know the Tooth Fairy is not a biological being, so the only evidence we have is in looking around us and seeing the world he created.

Darn you, read the Tooth Fairy Tales book! It's all in there, and it's divinely inspired too.

The tooth fairy could theoretically exist, but what we know about her would be disproven. For, the evidence that children have for the tooth fairy are the lies told to them from their parents, which are explanations for the removal of the teeth and the depositing of the quarters. However, we know that the actual cause of these quarters is the parents. Therefore, while we have not disproven the existence of the tooth fairy, we have disproven the evidence we had to believe the existence of the tooth fairy. Lacking any evidence to the contrary, we assume the tooth fairy does not exist, for this is the simpler theory and we therefore use Ockhams Razor

That being said, you can't prove god doesn't exist, but you might disprove the evidence used to say that he does exist. However, it is yet to be shown that the non-existence of a deity is less complex of a theory than the existence of a deity, because of the issue dealing with "First Cause." Thus, we are forced to draw a conclusion of "maybe" and become agnostics. At least I am.

That being said, I'm not convinced that all the evidence that god exists has been disproven, nor am I convinced that the evidence that god does not exist has been disproven. I am, however, convinced that there exists evidence that god is not as certain specific religions say, nay, PROOF that god is not as certain specific religions say, and that we can extrapolate that these specific religions are in fact wrong. However, it is a logical falacy to draw the conclusion that there is NOTHING correct about these religions (as in, there is no god).

But, like I said, barring Ockham's Razor, it's also a logical falacy to conclude the tooth fairy doesn't exist. It's a "leap of faith" just like anything else: some are just more practical than others.

I believe in God my healer. I ask Him before I take medicine. I get confirmation in my spirit to take it or not.

I believe the tooth fairy does exist. Fairies are the spiritual reality behind the fairy tale. Usually fairies are a result of disobeying God & seeking other spirits. Where the iniquities go on the 3rd & 4th generation of those that hate God.

Without faith it is impossible to please God, for those that seek Him must believe that He Is, and is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him. God has proved to me inside & out that He Is, He loves me & He will never leave me or forsake me.

Fairys do exist. They are the spirit behind the tall tale.

Since I do believe this is true, I have just paid my children for their tooth. Better that than to be a liar.

A parent takes the tooth from under their childs pillow. They replace it with money. Then they lie to the child and tell them that a tooth fairy put it there. Exactly what medicine are you asking us to take? Was that question supposed to stump a Christian? You really need to come up with something a little better than that if you are going to challenge people in a slightly insulting kind of way.

Nobody will ever be able to "prove" to you that God exists. You will either find such proof within your own heart...or you won't. It really is that simple.
I believe in God. I don't insist that you do. Your faith in the idea that God does not exist is as much your right as my faith in the Son of God...

Now, as for the tooth fairy, has anyone ever worshipped the tooth fairy? Has anyone ever claimed that the tooth fairy was God? Has anyone ever died rather than deny their faith in the tooth fairy? Do you know of even one single group of people who have dedicated their lives to the tooth fairy? Or a building dedicated to her worship?
LOL, I know who really put the quarter under my pillow, I know who put the dollar under my kids' pillow, and I know who is putting the ten dollar bill under my grandchildren's pillow. Evidently, the price of teeth is going up up UP!!

How about this-Billions and billions of people over thousands of years have believed in God, or Allah, or the Great Spirit-one primary,solatary figure who created us and the world- who has given us sign on top of sign the He exist while only children under 12 in select countries-in this century believe-or have even heard of the tooth fairy- And you may think that Atheist will rule the world-but what of the afterworld?

If she existed, the tooth fairy would be a biological being living on this earth.

But since there is no biological being on this earth who fits the description, there is no tooth fairy.

Bad analogy there, no offense. If you want to make good analogies, you have to compare things that are actually comparable.

Biological / visible beings are not comparable with God, who is neither biological nor visible.

Why is it up to Christians to prove that the tooth fairy doesn't exist?

Why not prove that it does?

Are you able to see, hear, breathe, etc? If so..who created that? A cosmic fart that made the systems you use to live...or a creator who knew what He was doing?

blah blah the tooth fairy is in the same category as Santa Claus and the Easter bunny,so its easier for untainted minds to understand where gifts and Easter eggs come from,and the tooth fairy is so kids wont freak out about loosing baby teeth.......nothing to do with god.god was created so people can have something to look up to when they cant use their minds or own decision process,only my opinion and I'm a nonbeliever

I have already answered this inane question. The tooth fairy is you mom, dad, guardian, whomever puts the money under your pillow. God is a spirit that dwells within. Read the Bible!
