how can anybody be sure there is no God?

Answer 1

Anybody who says there is no God is just not thinking straight. In your brain there are 100 billion neurons. Each one of those neurons(remember, there's 100 billion of them) is connected to 1000 other neurons. That comes out to 100 trillion connections in your brain. These connections send electronic signals(and you can measure the electricity) from one place to another. If part of the brain is damaged and you lose some function that is controlled by that part of the brain, the brain can actually re-wire itself and let other neurons in the undamaged part of the brain take over so that you canget back that function. That's only the connections in the brain, not the rest of the body.
Our bodies also have tons of information in the DNA. You have enough information in your DNA to fill encyclopedia sized books stacked from here to the moon and back 500 times. Do you really think that came about by just random chance........kind of like a monkey typing out the works of Shakespear just by randomly plucking away at the keys?
People who say they are atheists just aren't thinking straight.

Answer 2

I don't think anybody's sure. But many people just dismiss the idea because it's too complex for their mind...because they don't realize that God doesn't live in the mind...but in the spirit.
It also depends on how they conceive God. I can understand that people don't want to believe in the image of something out there that rules the world. If I had that concept of God, I would say I would probably be close to saying that there is no God.
Ultimately, who are WE, human beings, to be sure of anything besides what our senses tell us to perceive - and even that could be illusion/questionable? (because after all, we perceive the world primarily with our senses)....
who are WE to claim anything anyway?

It is easier to prove something is False than something is True, That is why E=Mc2 is still only a Theory, not a Law. Once you prove one inconsistancy, it is false.

God is real ! To prove it you need either logical or experiencial proof.
Logically, Law of Cause and Effect says the effect cannot be greater than the cause - so the cause of our life has to be wiser and more passionate than we can find.
The Experiences of Biblical figures cannot be denied since it was their experience - you can doubt it, but that was their report of their experience. Scientific codes say it has to be taken into account as well.

To try to repeat their experience, live a prayerful, righteous life. -and if you don't hear the voice of God, you're still a better person for it.

Personally, I have more proof God exists than I have that the Earth is round

Answer 4

No. I don't think we're SUPPOSED to be sure. Some people think they ARE sure, but when you think about it, how can you REALLY prove there is or isn't one?

Usually people who think they are sure use arguemental "PROOF" in the way of logic. They will say things like, God has all power, and all knowlege and can do no wrong, there is wrong in the world, and therefore there is no God.

This is one example of many that people use to "DISPROOVE" God... but it doesn't. PEOPLE do evil things, with our free will. Not God. AND, IF there is such a thing as God, it would not subject itself to our logic.

Answer 5

I believe that there is no God. I'm beyond atheism. Atheism is not believing in God. Not believing in God is easy -- you can't prove a negative, so there's no work to do. You can't prove that there isn't an elephant inside the trunk of my car. You sure? How about now? Maybe he was just hiding before. Check again. Did I mention that my personal heartfelt definition of the word "elephant" includes mystery, order, goodness, love and a spare tire?

So, anyone with a love for truth outside of herself has to start with no belief in God and then look for evidence of God. She needs to search for some objective evidence of a supernatural power. All the people I write e-mails to often are still stuck at this searching stage. The atheism part is easy.

But, this "This I Believe" thing seems to demand something more personal, some leap of faith that helps one see life's big picture, some rules to live by. So, I'm saying, "This I believe: I believe there is no God."

Having taken that step, it informs every moment of my life. I'm not greedy. I have love, blue skies, rainbows and Hallmark cards, and that has to be enough. It has to be enough, but it's everything in the world and everything in the world is plenty for me. It seems just rude to beg the invisible for more. Just the love of my family that raised me and the family I'm raising now is enough that I don't need heaven. I won the huge genetic lottery and I get joy every day.

Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories. That's good; it makes me want to be more thoughtful. I have to try to treat people right the first time around.

Believing there's no God stops me from being solipsistic. I can read ideas from all different people from all different cultures. Without God, we can agree on reality, and I can keep learning where I'm wrong. We can all keep adjusting, so we can really communicate. I don't travel in circles where people say, "I have faith, I believe this in my heart and nothing you can say or do can shake my faith." That's just a long-winded religious way to say, "shut up," or another two words that the FCC likes less. But all obscenity is less insulting than, "How I was brought up and my imaginary friend means more to me than anything you can ever say or do." So, believing there is no God lets me be proven wrong and that's always fun. It means I'm learning something.

Believing there is no God means the suffering I've seen in my family, and indeed all the suffering in the world, isn't caused by an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent force that isn't bothered to help or is just testing us, but rather something we all may be able to help others with in the future. No God means the possibility of less suffering in the future.

Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have.

Answer 6

the same way anybody can be sure there is a God

Answer 7

I don't think one can be absolutely sure of anything.

However, when it comes to the existence of god, I'm 99.999% sure there isn't one. Occam's razor, combined with logic and the evidence I see in the world around me, convinces me of that.

I'm even more certain that if a god exists, it doesn't even remotely resemble the god described in the bible. Much of what I see in the bible is self-contradictory, and still more of it makes no sense. (For example, how does one reconcile the story of the tower of Babel with modern-day spaceflight technology?)

Answer 8

If there was no God then where did you come from? And I don't mean just you I mean everyone.
And if you are one of those that think we all came from monkeys, If we did someone at sometime would give birth to a monkey, but that has never happened.

There is a God, there is only one God, and His name is Jesus Christ our Lord and Saver!!

Answer 9

Prove that he exists. He won't even prove it when I ask him every day to make himself known to me in a way that I'll be sure of.

He's an absentee father, a deadbeat dad. He's letting the world he created fall apart and he KNOWS it.... C'mon, believe in what you want but at least have some evidence to back it up...

Answer 10

Nobody's sure either way. Choose to believe or not to believe, but don't inflict your choice on others. You don't have the right to bet anybody else's soul on your beliefs.
