To any atheists: If Christians have to prove God exists...how do you prove that he DOESNT?

Question

You can't see air or the wind..but you can see the results when the wind blows right? What if someone said I don't believe in air or wind..wouldn't that seems just as foolish? Neither can you see gravity..but again you see the results of it.

So what are the results of God? 66 books called the Bible
So taking the Bible at face value, the very first line in Genesis 1:1, it says in the beginning God created heaven and earth.

Moses wrote Genesis so try telling a Jew that Moses is a liar or he never existed. And while youre at it tell them the Holocaust didnt exist either.

The only thing that has been historically, archaeologically, and prophetically proven time and time again is the writing of the prophets/the Scriptures/the Bible. You cant argue with history, archealogy or prophecy...God's book has the proof to prove that he indeed exists..whether you can see him or not and whether you believe it or not.

Your responses are quite disappointing...the statement "There is No God" is an absolute statement. There needs to be an absolute fact that can prove this. Surely you can do better than this cant you?
Heres an absolute statement "The FOOL has said in his heart there is no God".....There has to be an absolute fact to prove this also. We would need fools who have said there is no God.....well........You all can figure that one out on your own.

Answer 1

Firstly, we aren't the one making a claim. You claim god exists (and you claim specifically that the Christian god exists), so you have to prove it if you want me to believe it. I simply don't believe it. Understand?

The bibl doesn't prove anything. If you are making an arguement for creation, that all things are too complex not to have been created by god, that's fine. It still proves nothing. If everything complex needs a creator, then god must be very complex. What created your god?

----------------------------------------

Can you prove that I don't have proof that a god DOESN'T exist? No? Than I must have proof!

Answer 2

Your beginning question is a fallacy called the "appeal to ignorance." The rest just goes downhill from there.

It's logical to assume something isn't true until it's proven. This is the basis for the "assume innocent until proven guilty" that our courts are based on, it's also what science is founded upon.

However to assume something exists just because you can't disprove it is rather foolish and void of any rationale. You cannot disprove a celestial teapot or the flying spaghetti monster, therefore by your own arguments you must agree they exist. See the error you're making?

Air is something we can measure empirically, it has physical properties, noted attributes, and is subject to all sorts of influence. Air becomes warm or cold depending on outside factors, we can measure the pressures and molecular behaviors of air. So we know for a fact that it exists. There is the same thing with gravity. We can measure and detect all of these things empirically, there is no such thing available for a supreme being.

All you have to go on for Genesis is a silly claim that Moses wrote it. According to who? The bible? Doh! Circular reasoning! That doesn't work! The bible directly contradicts itself repeatedly, it also contradicts history, archeology, and the other things you seem to like. There were never any Jews in Egypt, we know this with historical and archaeological certainty. We also know that Caeser never had a census as the New Testament says he did. There was a census in Bethlehem, but it didn't start until 6 AD, which was many years after Herod died, which also invalidates the bible. Oh and Herod's slaughter of the innocents never happened either.

I could write a book simply listing things the Bible gets horridly, atrociously wrong. There is an insane amount of inconsistencies.

As for the prophecies... the bible has been wrong too. The bible predicts the world is 4,000 years old and is flat and immovable, built upon 4 large pillars. Oops! And the other prophecies are so vague they can apply to anything.

God's book proves nothing except for how gullible people are.

Answer 3

Atheists technically don't have to prove anything. Atheism is true by default until somebody proves that a god exists. Nobody has done this. Nonetheless, here's a proof about the nonexistence of Yahweh and Allah, in four paragraphs: There's no reliable evidence for Jesus, Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, Thor, or any of the thousands of other gods that people have worshipped. There's also extensive evidence that they are all just myths, created to help soothe our fear of death, and perpetuated through religion to subjugate the underclass into obedience. Science has shown that there's no need for gods to explain the traditional reasons for a god -- origin of the universe, origin of life, origin of species, origin of humans, origin of morality. Science also shows us the psychological reasons that people believe in god(s). If a god like Yahweh or Allah existed there would be explicit evidence. No such evidence exists, therefore these gods do not exist. Yahweh and Allah are also internally and externally incongruent, and thus cannot logically exist. An omnipotent and omniscient god with free will can't exist, because it could not both know the future and change it. An omnipotent and omnibenevolent god can't exist and allow the true horrors that occur to sentient beings.

Answer 4

Wow, another stunning question from the Vat of Unique Questions!

History is written by the victorious, not the oppressed, and subsequently is NOT an accurate measure of truth.

If you believe that the bible is the INDISPUTABLE word of the ONE true almighty God, then go out and kill everyone at Wal-Mart on Sunday for breaking the sabbath as laid down in Exodus 35:2. Come on, it would be doing God's work to kill them!

No? If that doesn't jive for you, then you are either lying about the strength of your faith or the bible is NOT as infallible as you claim. Either way, your logic is flawed.

Now quit asking the same tired questions we've all seen before, Nancy!

Answer 5

The air can be broken up into molecules and atoms. The wind has been proven to be the result of solar heat and the air and uneven surfaces on earth. Gravity is a physical law that can be proven over and over again with controlled variables and repeatable results. Our knowledge of all three phenomenon came from scientific inquiry into the natural world.

Answer 6

The Holocaust, incidentally, was one group trying to prove that their understanding of God was superior to the other group's understanding. Holocaust denial is on a par with denial of evolution and biblical literalism in terms of head-in-the-sand silliness.

You can't argue with history... no mention of Moses in any text outside of the Bible.

You can't argue with archaeology... You'd think there would be some evidence of the Jews having left Egypt en masse, a stela or discarded manna or something.

You can't argue with prophecy... if they don't put a time limit on it. Congratulations, you're living in the 1937th year of the End Times!

Answer 7

The bible is not absolute proof of God. And no, the prophecies in the bible have not been historically or archaeologically proven.

Please, do yourself a favor, and become educated.

Answer 8

Funny how those prophecies keep getting fulfill like 2 Peter said in the last days their will be many scoffers and mockers who will deny the flood happened. 1 Timothy.. they will depart from the faith and turn to meaningless talk.
Romans 1 ..The will exchange the glory of God for the images of evolution.(my paraphrase)
How coincidental or maybe not!

Answer 9

Don't need to - it's not my reality. You, on the other hand, have a significant, and obvious, need to prove that your beliefs are real.

I simply don't happen to share your beliefs and you feel threatened by that. I also don't happen to believe what all those other 34,000+ Christians sects and who really knows how many Muslim and other religious sects believe.

I don't NEED to prove to you or them that your/their god isn't real to simply not believe in it (them).

Why can't you grasp that distinction?

Because you can't handle that people who don't believe what you do can have valid lives and are decent people. That makes you feel insecure.

You react by attacking, whether it's to legislate, dictate, argue, vilify or persecute, you HAVE to discredit or defame anyone who disagrees with your belief system to validate it.

You're really a bit pathetic, aren't you?

Answer 10

We have five senses, not one. We can feel the wind. We can test the wind. We can't feel or test god.

There are plenty of inaccuracies and contridictions in the bible. It's not proven itself over and over - all it's done is proof itself wrong as time goes on.

But please, tell me what evidence you would accept that proves god doesn't exist.
