Well I surely KNOW that he DOES exists. I can feel His presence, and I, many times, witnessed His actions with my own eyes.

Is there any scientific evidence that He doesn't exist???

Yeah, and drug addicts sometimes KNOW they can fly while in the midst of their drug induced delusions.

For the last time morons... feelings are SUBjective, evidence is OBjective. If you don't know the difference between the two, stop asking questions about science and religion.

No, I don't believe there is any scientific evidence that the Almight God does not exist. But there is also no scientific evidence that he does exist.

What they do have is many many theories on how the world could have started and none of them are done in 6 days (god rested on the 7th I believe), but god believing people could argue that any of those theories were started by God. In which case the bible would just be considered inaccurate.

ill turn that right back at you. Is there any evidence that "god" DOES exist?

The answer is NO, there isn't, their can't, and their never will be.

However religions claim that "god" created the universe 600 years ago and the oldest human remain ever found are 160,000 to 200,000 years old that's 26 and 2/3 times to 33 and 1/3 times older.

Oh and i got it from CBS not wikipedia just in case your wondering, go to my source if you don't believe me.

In addition the burden of truth falls on those that believe, they must prove that "god" exists to atheists not the other way around.

And when you say the you KNOW "god" exists that is just your word, i could say i KNOW "god" doesn't exists and it would be your word agaisnt mine so your opening statement and your question are flawed.

No, you don't KNOW that "God" exists. All you know is that you FEEL like you know God exists. Where does that feeling come from? You think it comes from "God". I think it comes only from inside your body, from your brain and your body's hormones.

Each of us is born with a brain that doesn't KNOW anything. We have to learn everything. We learn a great deal from our parents and our culture long before our minds become sophisticated enough to critically evaluate what we are taught. If you have been immersed in a religious world view your whole life, this world view will be so deeply entwined in your brain that it will be nearly impossible to make an objective evaluation of your religious beliefs.

I was raised Mormon and was lucky enough that I recognized some of the inconsistencies and bigotry of their teachings when I was only 10 years old. This was early enough that I was able to start thinking for myself, and therefore ultimately reject Mormonism as a cult reliigion. This wasn't easy though, as I still had 10 years of subconscious thought patterns that I had to unlearn.

I have one sister who is totally trapped in her Mormon beliefs. I have another sister who also saw some of the problems with Mormonsim, and rejected it, but remained deeply religious. All three of us have very different feelings about what we "know". I have very strong "feelings" about what I "know". Of course I can't prove that "god" doesn't exist. A very basic principle of logic is that you can't prove a negative. My own personal view is that if there is a "god", that god will be very, very different from the God of the Old Testament that is the basis for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Trying really hard not to sound sarcastic.

Again, no need to disprove something thats never been proven.

Millions of people feel different things, and all say the same thing they know their god exist because of the feelings. Now do 1000s of different gods and god type things exist? Or do all your beliefs cancel out the others back to nothing.

Well, as creationists keep pointing out that the complexity of creation requires the existence of a creator. If that is the case, then it is obvious that the creator must be more complex than the creation. THAT being the case, then using the same logic, the complexity of god requires that god have a creator. That gets us into an infinite regression of creator... creation... creator, at each level becoming more and more complex, until infinite complexity is achieved. That, of course, is impossible. Ergo, the supposed creator (god) is impossible.

If you are asking for testable, falsifiable, empirical evidence that God does not exist then there isn't any. By the same token there is no evidence he DOES exist also.

You can feel him in your heart and mind, but that's not scientific.

There is no scientific proof that your so call God exist as well.

Same arguement can be use for all sort of things such as fairies, unicorns, big foots....sky is the limit. Just because someone claim they feel its existence, doesn't mean it exist. As far as you witnessing its actions, our history is full of people witnessing things they can't explain and claim them to be the 'acts of god'.

The burden of proof falls on those to claim it's existance



Negative proof
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about a logical fallacy. The term negative proof can also refer to a proof of impossibility.
The fallacy of appealing to lack of proof of the negative is a type of logical fallacy of the following form:

"This exists because there is no proof that it does not exist."
Non-fallacious ways to prove something include the use of logical syllogisms and/or the incorporation of empirical observations. But it is not logical to argue that something exists simply because there is no proof to the contrary; one cannot say, "No one has proven that aliens do not exist. Therefore, based on that alone, they must exist, notwithstanding that I have no evidence that they do exist". Given (as it is above) that it was not proven that aliens do not exist, they might exist, but this alone does not prove them to exist.

Another common example is that, "A supernatural force must exist because there is no proof that it does not exist". However, the converse is also true, according to the argument from ignorance: One also cannot say that, "I have not seen proof that something supernatural exists, therefore a supernatural force cannot exist". Also, similar to the aliens in the above example, since no proof is available that this does not exist, it might exist, but this alone does not prove it to exist.

No. There is no scientific evidence that Santa Clause doesn't exist either. Or the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

The thing about faith is, that it doesn't need science.

The thing about science is... it needs faith. Let me explain. The scientific theory states that if you can reproduce a result, that proves it scientifically to be true. This is widely accepted. The problem is, the scientific theory cannot be proven to be true.

Just something to think about.

Peace.
