How can one prove God DOESN'T exist?

Question

That is, isn't it more mystical and silly to think that everything just BOOMED into existence than it is to think there was some intellectual design and creator?

I mean, come on! It's not like, BOOM! and we have a supercomputer.

It seems more like an easy way out to say "God doesn't exist" than it is saying that things can happen at random (i.e. the universe).



You can't prove the existence of nothing, can you?

I'm saying: Is it possible to prove God nonexistent when you can't prove the existence of nothing? Not to say that God doesn't exist, its a syntactical err. You can't prove the existence of nothing! So: to say that God is nonexistent, you have to find something that exists in its place. Nothing is nothing is not something that can be proven.

You can only prove that something exists, and therefore prove the "nothing" its not.

Answer 1

you know whats really ironic?
their "big bang" theory..backs up what what the bible been saying for thousands of years ..let me explain:
they claim the earth was without form void..sound familiar.
something happened and Boom light appeared (God spoke it into existence)
then sea, earth, plants, sea life, animals, humans..humm same order..see my point..

Answer 2

One cannot prove a negative. This is hardly any sort of rational argument for having faith that something exists. The question is whether there's sufficient evidence of the extraordinary claim that a supernatural being exists. There isn't.

God's not a good answer for how everything began because it raises more unanswerable questions than it answers- what is god, what's it made of, how does it do what it does, why does it do what it does? All unknowable and incapable of being objectively answered.

You are using the god of the gaps argument. If you don't understand how something happened then it must have been god. We once needed that for the movement of the sun, for fire, for why rain falls, etc. Science has pushed these gaps back billions of years and now the god of the gaps argument has to be trotted out for the origin of life or the origin of the universe. Just because you don't accept the scientific hypotheses doesn't mean that a god must have done it.

We know there was a big boom, accumulating evidence from a wide variety of sciences shows that. After the big boom theory was made, scientists predicted what would be found if it were true. That has been what's been found even though there was a good chance it would not be the case. The "god did it" theory predicts nothing and allows for no empirical tests to see if it's accurate. The question now is what came "before" the big bang and although there are a number of plausible ideas we may never know. Just because something is unknown does not, despite your implication, mean that "god did it" becomes a rational answer.

Answer 3

well it's either BOOM we have existence, or BOOM we have an all powerful god, so...

I think it's betterl to keep an open mind, and not follow any religion than to follow a religion and believe that you know all the answers...

I'm pretty sure that at some point in time, something complex HAD to come out of non-existence - whether god BOOMED into exsistence, or the universe did... Do you know the properties of non-existence? How do you know a supercomputer couldn't just pop out of non-existence?

Answer 4

The thing is, no one can honestly and reasonably say they know with certainty how the universe began. The difference between atheists and theists here is that theists claim to have the ultimate, universal truth (and there's a different "ultimate universal truth" for every single religion) based on absolutely no empirical evidence. Atheists, on the other hand, tend to embrace theory that's at least based on observation and calculation that's grounded in reality.

Answer 5

tat twam asi....not this --not that

some say we are the reflection of the mirror

i put 2 mirrors facing each other and wounded which saw the others reflection.

in a yoga less ion i had one time it said to sit in front of 2 mirrors, and see the endless reflections of your self . and the reflection in your own eye.

so ,no -thing may be a thing in it self but just doesn't have mass, and time, and space.

thats what i believe life force is.--a invisible, female alien,energy intelligence.
______________________

what i cant get is how can it be [ ETERNAL WITH OUT BEING FREAKING BORN] at some time in the distant past,

if it can be born ,it can die some day--the death of the eternal living being ....and me
__________________

so that doesn't answer the question of proving the non existences of a ,invisible non existant being. ha ha ha good question , but there is no answer that i can see

Answer 6

You can't...
And being rational is not necessarely a good thing.

Actually, if anyone of you is interested in reading a proof of God, just go to this page (not a joke) it is the true story of a girl I know

By the way, what C M
ANd for those who quote Darwin to "excuse" your belief of the evolution, continue your reading, because you should know that Darwin believed in God and he only invented this THEORY -meaning not true or proven- to agravate the church which in his time were manipulating the people. Thing is Darwin believed in GOd and knew God was the creator, but he also knew that men in religions are abusive, liars and use the bible in their advantage, and not to teach the truth. That is why he created this lie, that he h imself didn't believe... Unfortunately he didn't know people would believe so quickly in the lie and turn from God... That was not his intent but it is the way it turned out.

So those who believe in Darwin's THEORY of evolution, you believe in a hoax told by Darwin himself and confessed by him afterwards as a HOAX and a LIE to agravate the church back then... DO YOU HOME WORK and do it thoroughly if you are all so "rational".

Answer 7

It is very simple to prove without a doubt God does not exist. The first thing one would need to do is have knowledge of all things. Without such knowledge then there is room for God to exist beyond ones knowledge) The only drawback to this is that you are then omniscient.

Answer 8

You can't prove that anything doesn't exist.

Can you prove that Santa Claus does not exist? Can you prove that the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy don't exist?

It is no more rational to believe in God than it is to believe in Santa Claus.

I have included some links that I thought were interesting.

Answer 9

Only thing we cant prove is the existance of the big bang...

Creation of planets has been proved.
Evolution has been proved.


But oh wait? What about god?

All we got is some dumb book and papers that say he exists?

Answer 10

Its so easy. The omnipresent that He is, is nowhere to be found! Where is the proof needed?

You are asking the simple ones. Ask us the difficult ones, like, How can you prove that God exists?

Answer 11

Big Bang doesn't state something come out of nothing. Try again. And magical sky daddies will lose from natural processes every time.
