lol... i didn't think so....
and yes, i can prove he does... hehehe ... so i guess you will have to be satisfied with your lack of the knowledge of God until you are just desperate enough to seek Him and find out for yourself that He is real and that he does care....until then i guess you will just have to live the misery of not knowing....

Why bother? The burden of proof is on the believer, and despite millenia of trying _really hard_, so far they've got nothing.

You may choose to believe anyway on the basis of faith, but the facts clearly say "god doesn't exist".

Probably not. Proving a negative is a great deal more difficult than proving a positive. I can prove that I exist, but can you prove that any one person does not exist?

In the end, the proofs philosophers have offered for the existence of God generally founder on one aspect: you may prove His or Her existence logically, just by the definition set up for the use of the term "God." But this says essentially nothing about His or Her nature. Or should I say His or Her or Their?

you do no longer could practice that your god exists on the grounds which you have faith huh? Did you ever provide as much as think of how illogical that's? What if I advised you i assumed in magic puppies that cover in timber and dared you to coach they do no longer exist and then circled and advised you i do no longer could have any evidence by fact golly gee I certainly have faith. you will think of i grow to be an escaping from the psychological wing of a medical institution. there is many arguments against the existence of gods. between the terrific ones is Occam's razor. Ever heard of it? No, I doubt you have. Occam's razor grow to be formulated by William of Occam (1285-1349) and says: "Non est ponenda pluralites sive necessitate" or in english: "do no longer multiply entities except inevitably". that's a theory for medical labour meaning which you will use an uncomplicated rationalization with some explanatory premises earlier a greater complicated one. enable's say that each and every thing could be created, and that grow to be achieved by an all-powerful god. A god which stands above time, area, ethical and existence, that's self containing and in it self has it quite is very own reason. This entity can truthfully get replaced by the point-honored international. the international stands above time, area, ethical, existence, is self containing and in it has it quite is very own meaning. maximum theists agree that god has a nature. Then we could strengthen the question, who created god's nature? If we merely settle for that god has a nature and exists with out a reason, why no longer say that the time-honored international merely is and that the guidelines of physics are what they're, with out a reason? God is probably no longer a proof, merely a non-rationalization. that's impossible to benefit information from non-information so God as a proof is a lifeless end. as quickly as we've stated that the rationalization for something is that 'god did it that way' there is not any thank you to comprehend it any greater desirable. We merely shrug our shoulders and settle for issues as they're. to describe the unknown by god is merely to describe the way it handed off, no longer why. If we are to look into the international and build our perspectives of existence from the international, we won't be able to assume a god. by fact including god as a proof leaves as many, if not greater questions than it explains, god must be got rid of with Occam's razor if we are severe in investigating the international.

Forget proof - concentrate on probability. How plausible is such a crazy concept? None of the thousands of gods ever mooted is in any way likely - they just seemed the only possible explanation for the world at the time.

We're past that now. We know how life works, and we can dispense with fairy-tale explanations.

there are many things that we cannot see but we know they exist because we can see their effect. Very scientific that phrase. We can't see God but we can see God's effect. God, being the creator of the universe, would be beyond physical science and so trying to prove the existence of God is rather moot. It is about faith and witnessing what God has done around us that is the only proof that we need. I don't need to physically see God to know his presence. I don't need to know His molecular weight because that isn't important. So when people talk about the burden of proof well it's rather moot.

Sorry, but the burden of proof is on the one making the (positive) claim.

can you prove Allah doesnt exist?
can you prove Zeus doesnt exist?
can you prove Ahura Mazda doesnt exist?
can you prove the Invisible Pink Unicorn doesnt exist?
can you prove the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesnt exist?
can you prove Yoda doesnt exist?
can you prove Gollum doesnt exist?
can you prove Spider-Man doesnt exist?


Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

I dont think that was nice about the misery part. It is your job to pray for the unbeliever and pray that they get to Know God the way we do, we should not say such a thing like that. That is not what Jesus would want us to do or to act He is merciful, and graceful. Jesus interecede for there soul and we should do the same, I will pray that he will change your heart in that area the way you feel.

It's impossible: Once you claim that God can do anything, then you can claim that he can make himself invisible or undetectable by any human instrument. You can even claim, as many believers do, that God is beyond logic: this makes any logical argument for or against his existence invalid.

But it's also impossible to prove beyond doubt that he does exist. Even if I saw God with my own eyes, it would always be possible to claim I was delusional.

Nope, but you can't prove that he does. The same concept goes behind proving Zeus, Apollo, and Thor all exist. That's what makes the supernatural different than the physical world, where logic and reason apply.

why ask that? you're the ones going on and on about how he's real you don't need to prove because he has proven to you he's real blah blah. This question sound like you're belief in him is starting to slide downward which for me tips the scale for me to further believe he's nothing more than an adult's imaginary friend. Even if your question was to test those of the apposing side it can and very well translate that you're becoming uncertain in what you used to strongly believe in.
