Which religions can be easily proved false?

Question

Which religions can easily be proved false?

From an objective standpoint, which religions can be proved false. Could anyone who responds not give one line answers.

Example response:
1. Norse Mythology: There was a world serpent that was wrapped around the Earth several times that Thor would fish for with an Ox's head.

From all of the submarines, and boats in the world it seems unlikely that such a massive beast would go unnoticed.

2. Greek Mythology: Gods lived in a palace on Mount Olympus built by Hephaestus with large walls around the palace.

There is no palace on top of Mount Olympus.

3. Scientology:
- costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn advanced doctrines.
- Xenu used trillions of Douglas DC-7s?
- Xenu brought Trillions of frozen aliens to Earth just to kill them

Could answerers please give more than one liners.

"all of them" gives very little explanation of how they are wrong, which does not help me.

Thanks to the answerers who have given some information.

Answer 1

Islam can be proven false due to the fact they claim Mohammad great merical was splitting the moon. Ever looked at the moon.

Buddisum can be proven wrong because no person is reincarnated and if they were they would have exact knowedge of the past life.

Hindi caste system has no basis of truth in it. This is do to the fact that you can give them a education and they break out of the caste.

Jewish faith can't really be proven wrong due to the prophets actually telling the future and it coming to pass and even science uses the torah and search it out for secrets about such things as meds and information abou the body.

The new testiments christian teaching can't really be disproven due to the fact that it is also fortold by the prophets of israel and there is also docmented evidence of the facts. Even more so then the torah.

I find it most interesting that in the Torah that we find it stated that God is Light and that Jesus is called the Word. LIght and Word have one thing in common that is that they both have a sine wave. Words are spoken and produce a sine wave that does not end. Light produces a sine wave that does not end. So there may be much more to this story before it is finished.

Scientology would be one heck of a sci-fi fiction flick may they can get Tom Cruse to play the lead.

norse and greek mythology is interesting but simple none-sence.

Answer 2

The bible is inspired of god so any religion where it's leaders condone or support something not in agrrement with the bible would clearly be false. ex. if you had someone babysit your children and you gave them clear rules bedtimes chores and they ignored them and let your children stay up all night and eat candy they would be 'false' babysitters and you wouldn't have them back. Same when we look at religion. matt 5:44 says to love your enemy. Look up in the history books how many christian religions had a part in the world wars with even the leaders blessing the troops. or a more recent and contrevosial topic of homosexuals 1 cor 6:9-11 shows clearly god does not approve of homosexuals, yet how many christian religions allow homosexuals in the church even appointing them as ministers who take the lead. so when you examine different religions the ones that dont listen to God's word and even teach the opposite are clearly false. The majority do not measure up.

Answer 3

Apostate Christianity can be proved false. For example:

Jesus said his followers would be no part of the world. ( John 15:19) Many professed Christians meddle in politics; some of them even hold political office.

Jesus said to call no man "Father" in a religious sense. (Matt. 23:9) Many "Christian churches call their leaders "Father."

Jesus said that love would be an identifying mark of true Christianity. (John 13:34, 35) He also told his followers to love their enemies. Many "Christians" are in the military learning how to kill their fellowman.

Jesus told his followers to "go and make disciples." (Matt. 28:19, 20) Professed Christians would rather pay their leaders to do that.

Answer 4

ALL OF THEM...more important though is the nature of your question. Why should anyone ever have to prove a religion false? Your question should be, "Which religions can be proven as true?".....and again the answer is NONE. I say this because you can not prove a negative. For example: I worship the invisible pink unicorn that I keep locked in my clost. Now prove to me that he does not exist.....you can not. And if I was to make such a claim, you would simply tell me "prove it". You would not sit there and try to disprove it to me because it would be an excercise in futility.

Answer 5

I can prove to you that Scientology was created as a business and a scam.

L. Ron Hubbard has been quoted as saying: "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion" http://lisatrust.freewinds.cx/scientology/hubbard.htm

The cult is mostly a high powered scam. It pays members 10% commissions, called FSM (Field Staff Member) commissions, on new recruits they bring in who take a course or get counseling, so Scientology members routinely try to "sell" Scientology to others.

The new members then, in turn, donate vast amounts of money to the "church". Here is a run-down of all the costs involved with Scientology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_as_a_business#Costs

Here is testimony from a woman who had been involved in exposing Scientology and other cults for most of her adult life: http://www.clambake.org/archive/books/tsos/sos-19.html

Even more proof that Scientology is out for your money... here is Hubbard discussing turning Scientology into a "religion" for profit:

"I am not quite sure what we would call the place - probably not a clinic - but I am sure that it ought to be a company, independent of the HAS but fed by the HAS. We don't want a clinic. We want one in operation but not in name. Perhaps we could call it a Spiritual Guidance Center. Think up its name, will you. And we could put in nice desks and our boys in neat blue with diplomas on the walls and 1. knock psychotherapy into history and 2. make enough money to shine up my operating scope and 3. keep the HAS solvent. It is a problem of practical business. I await your reaction on the religion angle. In my opinion, we couldn't get worse public opinion than we have had or have less customers with what we've got to sell. A religious charter would be necessary in Pennsylvania or NJ to make it stick. But I sure could make it stick." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_controversy#L._Ron_Hubbard_and_starting_a_religion_for_money

Answer 6

MOST ALL.
Any religion that teaches that there is no life after death or that teaches you that god, his son and the holly ghost are one in the same, is not all there. also they teach you that you will go to hell if your not baptized, or you can't see or be around the ones you love most.. they are all wrong, because you can be sealed to the ones you love most, your wife, kids and parents, grand parents and so on.
I have looked at some factions and found that Baptist's, Catholics and Protestant's are so far out in left field that the way they teach life is sick, they have no clue as to just what is going to happen.
All I know is that I love my wife and I want to be with her for all time and the only way is to be sealed to her in this life, also I do work for those who don't have that privy and I enjoy this work,, look at the other religions and then look at the L.D.S. religion, you don't have to go, just read about them. I don't want to be alone in the here after, I want the love my wife has for me and I want it for ever, not just for this life, think about it.... It's the best time to learn about what you want, not what some else wants for you, It's your call, not theirs...

Answer 7

standard response when religious fact is proved wrong or ridiculous, ' the world serpent is a metaphor,an allegory', 'only a true believer can see the palace of Zeus'. you can't prove any religion is false because the 'absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence'. the truth is though that probability of any religion being true is so small that you've more chance of being killed by a shark in death valley. i can see the headlines now, ' family of 6 killed by Damien Hurst's shark in formaldehyde as it fell from a transport aircraft taking it to los angeles.

Answer 8

Those are good, except they don't count as religions anymore (except scientlogoy I suppose) only as mythology. I'd say any religion is easily shown to be wrong by a preponderance of evidence, but xianity is easier than most since they demand that their god is omnipotent, omniscient, and all-good. THat makes it so easy to explain it away. As for "proof", I can't even prove that gravity will work tomorrow.

Answer 9

why prove them false? Whats the point? To climb the mountain just because it is there? I think that the point is not to prove them true or false just let them be. Who cares what it is as long as the person who believes in them has the right to do so. No one has the right to say one religion is better or worse than anyone elses

Answer 10

Christianity: Moses confronted the pharaoh, led his people out of Egypt, mucked about in the desert for 40 years, etc...

--No historical evidence of Jews ever having been in captivity in Egypt.
--No archeological evidence of the trip (what did they eat, where did they go)


Christianity: Genesis. The creation.

--Two seperate myths. In one, God does it all in six days and rests on the seventh. The other myth was creating all the creatures of the Earth, then creating Adam, then admitting design flaw and creating Eve.
