Instead of asking people to PROVE there is a God, why dont you Prove there is not a God?
I'm so tired of people wanting proof when they themselves can not prove there is not.

Answer 1

point well made

Answer 2

You can't prove a negative, usually.

Try it, I dare you.

Why don't you PROVE that Santa Claus doesn't exist?

Try doing that for a few years, and you'll see why people can't PROVE there is not a god. Then again, you can't prove there is a god, so why should nonbelievers suddenly believe?

The burden of proof is on the believer. If I believed in Santa, then I'd have to prove that Santa exists and not the other way around.

Edit: I've yet to see your proof that Santa doesn't exist. That should answer your question as to why nonbelievers don't prove that God doesn't exist...or Allah...or Vishnu....or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Answer 3

I just wanted to applaud rev Kev for adding the usually to the end because you can disprove a negative. Like showing how it's logically inconsistent, you can't have a square triangle. And clearly people believe you can disprove a negative because so many atheists spend so much time trying to disprove the Christian God when they don't believe in His existence.

Lastly the burden of proof belongs to the person making the claim. If you make the claim God does not exist the burden is in your court, likewise if someone says he does they've got the burden. Don't act like you've got no burden to bear.

Answer 4

Because it's impossible to prove a negative. The burden of proof is on us. I believe because I feel God working in my life. I was once an atheist, however, I continually felt drawn to God, like He wanted me to believe in Him.

Answer 5

"it is likewise authentic that if someone is an atheist s/he will clearly tend in direction of abiogenesis because of the fact the approach by ability of which existence got here approximately." Ever heard of Raelians? they're an atheist group who believes existence became created by ability of extraterrestrial beings. they do no longer settle for abiogenesis. And ALL we could constantly do is create existence?! Wow, for the reason that may no longer a particular to impossible undertaking to invite for. that's like asking to create the atom to coach atomic concept, we don't might desire to create existence. What we would desire to do is look for the clues left in the back of and piece at the same time the organic events as they got here approximately. in short, technological know-how does not want proofs, it desires evidence.

Answer 6

Right after you prove that Bernard, the giant purtple duck, didn't fart the Universe into existence... It is up to one who proposes a fiction to establish it as fact, not the other way around. If you want people to believe in some great bearded git in the clouds, you should offer some proof...

Answer 7

It is logically impossible to prove something doesn't exist. This is refered to as an argument from ingnorance. "also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam or argument by lack of imagination, is a logical fallacy in which it is claimed that a premise is true only because it has not been proven false."

Answer 8

Because it's almost impossible to prove a negative. But if something exists, there should be evidence beyond "because I say so."

Answer 9

Actually, proving a negative is a logical impossibility. You can't ask them that. You CAN, however, ask them for an alternate mechanism for creation.

Answer 10

Because the appearances do favor the absence of divine beings. We don't see so many supernatural events and miracles going around that the existence of deities is self evident.

Answer 11

It's not up to us to prove you wrong. You're the one making a ridiculous unprovable claim, it's up to YOU to prove it. Otherwise, stop whining about us making fun of you.
