Can you prove that God doesn't exist?

Question

Also, can you prove that evolution does exist?

If it has been proven and you read it somewhere, please enlighten us.

I'm not talking about movies.

Answer 1

You've made a mistake in categorization. God is a hypothetical entity. Evolution is an observed process. God either exists or not. Evolution either happens or not.

The process of evolution has been observed in the fossil record; there are tangible traces that could not possibly have been fabricated by men.

There are no tangible evidence that convincingly indicates the existence of God. All proposed such traces are likely to have been fabricated by men.

Answer 2

Hmm. Usually when someone asks this question they already have an idea what they want the answer to be. I believe it true these people are usually looking for an argument based not on evidence and rational thinking but on matters of faith. Before I continue it should be said that any real answer to this question should be answered in a rational matter, i.e. a scientific approach. Perhaps a better question would be, "Does a god exist?" as God with a capital G infers some bias towards a particular belief system. Science, hard science, is based on basic principles that are hypothesized upon, then tested. If those results can be replicated, we think of it as truth. Proving the existence of a god would then need just that-a test that can be repeated. As of this point in our history, it cannot be shown to be a truth by this manner. This does not preclude the non-existence of a god, just does not prove existence. Being that it cannot be proved a god does not exist does not mean one does as well. You could substitute any unknown for god in this circumstance. (I ask you now search Yahoo for the 'flying spaghetti monster').

Many people have tried to postulate the existence of a god. I feel it is a disservice to actually write such a short note on such an expansive subject.

I think you will find that evidence strongly shows the existence of evolution working on the living things of this world. Adding a god to the equation can often complicate things. (Again a Yahoo search for Principle of Parsimony and refer to the Flying Spaghetti Monster).

If these are questions that are truly asking, and your thoughts drive you to investigate these matters, you have a very, very long road ahead of you. The best to your research.

Answer 3

No, I can't prove that God doesn't exist, but I am comfortable that we live in a universe in which all observable phenomena can be explained without it being nevessary for God to exist. In other words, there is no evidence one way or the other, so God's existence is not the kind of question that is relevant to scientific study.

I can't definitvely prove that evolution exists. It would be necessary for me to make detailed observations of organisms over a period of a few centuries at least to be able to prove it. Even then, that would only prove that the species I observed was evolving, not that evolution is universally applicable. However, unlike God, there is a significant amount of evidence that suggests that the process does exist. Much more importantly, there are a number of observations that have been made that are best explained by evolution.

Answer 4

It's really difficult to say God doesnt exist. If God was not there we will be puzzled who is the person behind bringing us or bringing tiny minute organisms or who is controlling evolution. If any theory has proved God doesnt exist there will still be a mistake where people can point out that is wrong.

A common theory of origin is the theory of evolution put forward by Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin's views on religion have been the subject of much interest. His work was pivotal in the development of evolution theory which some argue helps show that God is unnecessary, while others feel that attacking Darwin and restricting teaching of evolution helps to evangelise their faith.
But Darwin's theory that God didnt exist failedbbecause it lacked several logical and observable proofs. Then one more thing i would like to say before ending, the creator of aeroplane is the Wright Brothers, as it is God is the creator of man and the universe.

Answer 5

This is of course a question that is largely based upon faith. I personally don't believe in the existence of any God, however, I do have respect for personal faith so I do not intentionally try to discount the existence of a higher being.

As far as evolution goes there is an interesting video on vestigial features I ran across a little while back that explains how vestigial features (parts of living plants and animals in which have no use) such as the human tail bone, wisdom teeth, or even tonsils are features in which used to have a use but are now byproducts of evolution as humans no longer have tails or use for many other features of our bodies like the appendix.

Answer 6

The universe is a finite entity with a beginning and an end.
When you include a god into the equation the universe must be eternal,infinite.
Infinity is a mathematical concept but it cannot exist in reality.
Evolution is a theory that is logical and no one has come up with something better.
Circumstantial evidence may the only answer if you don't accept it you must abandon all the rest.

Answer 7

MIss Koshy, Darwin never said God didn't exist; Otherwise he would have had to resign as an Anglican priest. Saint Augaustine didn't say it in his Theory Of Evolution either.

However, to answer the question, maybe we should turn to the mathematician Godel, who made this statement; " Any system of sufficient compexity has features that cannot be proved from within the confines of the system itself". If God exists, and created the universe, then God is outside the system, and detecting God from within the system will prove impossible.

Just as to show the personality of an artist from an artwork is impossible to any great extent.

Answer 8

No. But as Bertrand Russel said, I can also not prove that there is not a small, blue porcelain teapot in orbit around Mars. However, you would be considered deranged for believing in the small teapot - so why would you not be considered deranged for believing in god. In other words, the onus is actually on you to prove god does exist and believers are not in fact deranged.

Evolution - yes, this is perfectly provable. Read the scientific literature.

Answer 9

You can and you can not.......Either way there is a beginning...a start.Science is trying to find out who or what pushed the button and why.Whether they will find the answer in our life time or later but i believe they will one day,and if there is a god,its going to be much more different than our imagination.
You should use your logic about evolution and read more scientific books.God (if exists) gave that brain to you for thinking and thinking can be done by knowing better.

Answer 10

Look at all the people starving and suffering in the poor 3rd world countries in Africa, east Asia or Middle East. Isn't God supposed to be loving to all mankind? By the way, which God are you asking about? Every religion has their own god(s) and each believe theirs are the only true gods, so which one does exist? A lot of science subjects teach about evolution, go to college.
