It is not possible to directly disprove the existence of a supernatural being.

However, one can indirectly prove it by proving a missing necessary consequence.

In the case of a deity, it goes as such:

IF [a deity exists] THEN [free will exists] (premise)
NOT [free will exists] (Church-Turing Thesis)
THEREFORE NOT [a deity exists].

This is standard Modus Tollens. You could argue with the premise and insist on a deity creating a perfectly deterministic universe, but then it couldn't hold us responsible for anything so there would literally be no difference to humanity if there was or was not a deity. To reject the premise is to accept the absurd or ineffectual.

You are completely and absolutely correct!, though I'm certain that I read well and to my understanding there is no room for denying the true that in this case you are free to see and perceived, although lol.,, if you open your mind to this possibilities in a different time, and perhaps space, you may find in your own I which that there is more possibilities that a supernatural being have been in existence, I hope you find that there is one more positive and Godly than the other?????, I will also allow E-mails if you which to refute my theory?, about you been thinking about this in linear space?????...., and time.

I believe that "No one can disprove the existence of a supernatural being" is absolutely correct.

However "No one can prove the existence of a supernatural being." is not for certain. Although we are natural and assumedly can not understand the supernatural (what ever that is), ANYTHING that manipulates that natural world or has any effect ont he natural world, can be measured and observed.

If god, or any other supernatural being interacts with this universe it is theoretically possible to measure and observe the interaction and witness a supernatural event.

No one can prove the existence of this particular supernatural being because no one has ever defined that being. How can you possibly conduct an experiment to show the existence of something that you can't, or won't define?

It is good to be open minded. I consider myself (and everyone really) to be agnostic on the subject of the existence of supernatural entities. However when you apply honest inquiry to the subject the claim that a supernatural entity does exist becomes very improbable.

On the possbility of one? No.

On The Abrahamic monotheistic contempoary religions. Yes, we have proved in every possible scientific field, without a doubt, that these are impossible.

-We know with 100% certainty that humans have much longer than 6-7,000 years, evolution or not.

Just one of many certainties we have, look at almost any field and you will find proofs that are impossible with contemporary religions.

That is why religion is always faith based. You have to believe in something not proven or physically observable. This is also the most dangerous part of religion because people will believe just about anything (suicide when a comet passes by to go to heaven). What makes a religionists beliefs correct? Faith

no, I'm going to say that in the absence of definite proof and disagreement among religions about which god(s) is the right one (and many are mutually exclusive) that the simple explanation is probably correct: there are no gods.

This is really tricky ,but it was written do not idolize false gods. Jesus is the only living entity no other religion can profess this. Bottom line is "Blind Faith"

I think we all came to that conclusion long ago.

The debate IS what makes your beliefs so correct.
