The only way to find the "un-existance" of God?

Question

The only way I can think of to find proof that God is imaginary is if he told you he was imaginary himself.
And even then... "Hey, wait a minute!"

Face it, whether God is or isn't real, it'd be hard to find proof of him, but it'd be even harder to find proof against him.

and p.s. i don't see how having different beliefs from you makes me a hypocrite either. not to you, but a select few.

Answer 1

There's plenty of evidence that gods are man-made. You only have to look at their histories. You can also look into any of the other superstitions people have made up to see the similarities between people's belief in them and people's belief in religious superstitions.

Most of the time, showing evidence against the existence of god is impossible, because the concept is really ill-defined. When you try to pin down the definition of a particular god, the believer will either use terms that you can't put evidence against or terms that, themselves, are ill-defined.

However, you can show evidence against claims made of actions the god supposedly did. Since most gods are defined by "holy" books that claim they're divinely inspired, you can show evidence of how those books are loosely based on earlier myths or similar to common stories of the day.

Answer 2

Thankfully, we can prove the existence of God.

The Christian God was very careful to prove Himself when He had the Bible written. It is different from every other book. In it He predicts the future. No other book does this with accuracy. God names names, dates and places so we can check out history and see that He was right. He even gave us the very words someone would say centuries before the fact!

If you were God and you wanted to communicate through a book, you would put things in there only a God could know, such as the future. If you wanted everyone to know that you were going to come in person, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.

God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in book form 400 years before Jesus, the Son of God, came. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.

“Daniel 11, written in the 6th century B.C., gives an amazingly thorough account of Alexander’s Grecian kingdom, divided first into four competing factions after his death. It predicts details of the struggle between the Ptolemy and Seleucid empires for a period of 160 years, right down to the advent of the Roman Empire. That is why the skeptics used to claim that the book of Daniel could not have been written before 164 B.C., but now we have proof of a much earlier writing text.

“The prophet Isaiah (44:28) gave the name of a king not yet born and of a kingdom not yet instituted and of an event that would not take place for another 150 years. He predicted that a king named Cyrus would commission the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus did come to the throne in Persia, and in the first year of his reign in 538, he issued a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (See 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3. This prophecy described in the Bible is confirmed by the discovery of a Babylonian inscription.)

“Daniel actually gave the time when Christ would come into the world and die. Daniel (9:24) predicted that Messiah would be cut off (die) 483 Hebrew years after the issuing of the Persian decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued that decree on March 5, 444 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), granting the Jews permission to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. This, too, is confirmed by archeological discoveries. Four hundred eighty-three prophetic years (360 days to a year) and seven days later, Jesus was crucified as predicted, How could a prophet accurately predict the date of Messiah’s death hundreds of years before it took place, unless he was the ‘voice’ of God as he claimed?”

Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, we know with certainty the above prophecies date before the occurrence of actual prophesied events.

He has proven His existence perfectly and wonderfully. The Christian God is the true God.

Answer 3

Well, all the gods and goddesses are just as real as anything else.

Oh no! Jason B has Santa hostage, and it's, once again, those little pink rejects from "My Little Pony!"

Quick, get Harvey on the phone! We'll mount a rescue mission!

Answer 4

It's impossible to prove a negative by 100%. That does not make any of the 2,000+ gods real.

Example: Disprove the Easter Bunny. He exists outside of time and space. I'm waiting.

P.S. Plus there is no evidence that deities exist.

Answer 5

Some people (atheists) pretend to know conclusively that God doesn't exist just because they need the closure that that lie gvies them. They prefer to stick their heads in the sand and insist that they KNOW that God doesn't exist rather than dilligently seeking Him.

Answer 6

What...I find proof against him much easier to find than proof for him.

How do we know that there is just 1 god, versus no god, 2 gods, 3, gods, 4...etc.

Answer 7

Some of the 'scientists' will tell you here, that a God-o-meter, or a divine-detector is in the works.
Some will even claim life will soon be "created".
I just have to laugh everytime I hear the word proven and fact with the wildest theories.

Answer 8

ur right. but following scientific breakthroughs such as evolution, age of the earth and heck even the earth being round, the abrahamic relgions just dont hold water

Answer 9

You cannot prove a negative. If someone made nasty comments about your mother, you couldn't PROVE them wrong. The burden of proof is on the one making the statement.

Answer 10

Basic science 101: you cannot proves something does not exist. Not God, not rocks, not anything.
