Question for athiests ..?

Question

you people keep saying that none can prove the existence of God , Can you prove the opposite that God is not Exist? and wats your evidence?

why you are 100% sure that God doesnt exist then , wat makes you think He doesnt Exist ,

Answer 1

Atheists can not prove that god doesn't exist, but Atheists choose to believe that there are no higher powers. It is our lack of faith that leads us to believe there are no higher powers. I hope I answered your question. All the best.

Answer 2

In addition to the logical inability to prove a negative, I have a slightly different approach that might be helpful to you.

Probably all atheists, like me, are open-minded regarding the existence of gods. That is, if we were to meet a god tomorrow we would likely immediately change our position. This is because our beliefs are based on evidence and reason - which is a much more flexible belief system than faith (belief based on authority or text or tea leaves).

Also, some atheists would say that they are really not 100% confident in their position. I am perhaps 99.9% confident that gods do not exist and never have. Why not 100%? Well, I suppose I could be wrong; there may actually be some kind of god(s). If I was only 90% confident, I might consider myself an agnostic. However, I believe that possibility is so slight that it is not really worth considering without new evidence or a new sound argument. I am just as confident that the moon actually exists. This level of confidence meets the definition of "fact".

And lastly, there is the point that we are all atheists when it comes to some gods. I suppose you lack belief in Apollo. But you can't prove that he doesn't exist. So you are an atheist regarding every god except one. Atheists just lack belief in one more god than you.

Answer 3

This is the intellectual equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?"

In a philisophical argument both parties have an equal right in the validation for their point of view; the same reason a person beleives A is true can be used for someone to say B is true OR A is not true. Thus:

No evidence proves God does not exist.

No evidence proves God does exist.

Both invalidate the other and shows that by this statement the argument cannot be settled.

Hope you weren't attached to those 5 points you just wasted.

Answer 4

You are trying to put the burden of proof on those who refute an argument. If you can do that, so can I.

Prove to me that you're not a pedophile.

If you don't like accusation, then don't attempt to shift the argument. *You* have to prove a "god" exists; I don't have to prove anything because *you* are the one making the claim.

And what is the reason that godbots like yourself seek to shift the argument? It's because you _know_ that you cannot prove your claims such as bringing corpses back to life or splitting the waters between Florida and Cuba. If you claim that is possible, prove it; if you say that you don't have to or that I "shouldn't test god", then you're no more than a child in a schoolyard telling lies about how big his father is.

"False until proven true" has been the basis of civilized law and all scientific advancement. What you want is a return to "true until proven false". The last time that was the standard, we called it the dark ages.

Answer 5

"you people"? That's a racist slur! This is an extremely racist question!

I can not prove that God does not exist, but given that our best records of who (or what) God ACTUALLY is are contained in an ancient book, where many of the other facts have been proven false, I would say that's evidence enough for me.

Consider a physics text-book full of errors. Would you trust that text-book to revise from before you took an exam? No? Why not? You'd get the wrong answer? Ah, but the stakes in the 'exam of life' are much greater. If you say you believe in a God but there isn't one, oh well. If you say you don't but God exists... AAAHHH, you're in trouble now.

So, I think that's the main reason why non-athiests believe in God. Even if, in their hearts, they don't believe in God they are too afraid to say they don't in case God does exist, because a book full of errors said God exists.

Interestingly, the Bible never aims to prove God's existance. So, if the original prophets weren't interested in proving God's existance (or non-existance), why are you?

Answer 6

My evidence is that there is no evidence. Things do not have to be proved non-existent to be so. Still, I think that people can believe what they want as long as it doesn't involve forcing ideas on others. I just think that if a god exists, then it is not the god depicted in the bible. Who would imbue a creature with the ability and desire to commit sins and then punish said creature for doing so? Who would insist that we believe in something for which there is little or no evidence or we get tortured for eternity?

Answer 7

First, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I can tell you that I'm wearing blue jeans, and you'd believe me because that's not exactly far out. If, however, I told you that I had sprouted wings on my back, you'd ask for more than just my word on it.

Second, the evidence against God is that nothing that occurs that is attributed to God is not better explained by just random chance. A recent double-blinded study showed that ill people who were prayed for actually did more poorly than people for whom no one prayed. Now, I don't think that prayer actually hurt these people, but random chance led to the lack of effect caused by prayer.

Third, which God? Vishnu? Thor? Allah? The native American Great Spirit? Zeus? Artemis? Even if God existed, there are THOUSANDS of mutually exclusive descriptions of God that have been set forth over the centuries. Since they are mutually exclusive, like matter and anti-matter, you put them together and they disappear.

Peace.

EDIT: While it is impossible to know for 100% certain that God does not exist, it is equally impossible to know for 100% certain that the sun will rise tomorrow. However, the inferential evidence strongly suggests that we can pretty much count on the sun coming up, and the same is true for the non-existence of God.

Answer 8

I believe in God. But I like to argue. I could say that God does not exist because there is no physical evidence for one thing. We know that the Aztecan gods did not exist because we do not believe in their gods only our one god. Hence, if I was an Aztecan, your God would not exist only mine. If the reputed God did exist, he would shown some signs. I have not seen anyone with the help of God divide any seas, or tap the ground for water to come fourth. If God truely existed, then he would not have us fighting each other.

Answer 9

You don't prove universal negatives.

If someone asserts that something exists, they must provide the evidence for it.

Otherwise, the concept is useless to discuss and consider.

This is the general position of Atheists. Some may take it farther and conclude from this one can say no gods exist, while others simply accept this premise and claim a lack of belief in the existence of gods.

Answer 10

What makes you think that Pink Unicorns and Purple Gorillas do or do not exist? Nothing rational supports the existence of gods. It is a very old idea that has changed numerous time. If religion were real there would only be one.

Answer 11

You can't prove he does not exist. You go on the preponderance of the evidence, which shows that he does not. You should never claim that you "know" 100% either way. It's just that I find it 99.9% likely he does not.
