would you agree that "GOD" can neither be proven nor disproven?

Question

and if that is the case why do the religious say that they know for sure god exist? i know some will say it takes faith, and i agree it does. but still why do people preach about god and what he has done as far as creating the world and saving man and all that as truth. also for the creationist who think evolution isnt proven 100% your right but evolution has thousands of different books on the matter with thousands of researchers studying it and creationist only have their one book with no other way to back up their evidence. so i would say evolution has more evidence for its case than creation does for it's case.

Answer 1

I would have to accept as axiomatic the statement that God can be neither proven nor disproven. Anything else is simply an opinion, and a belief.

Answer 2

it is unfortunate that science and religion are compared in terms of truth. the purpose of science is to empirically find truth in the physical world, while religion is about a set of believes that are true because of the faith of the believers.

despite all the current debate , there are many serious, respected scientists who are actively religious and many more who have faith. the existence of god and science, evolution etc... are not mutually exclusive. both science and religion can only explain part of the universe, so it is possible that it is a combination of the two that is the real truth.

Answer 3

Evolution and Creation have less to do with each other then you tried to display. Evolution doesn't explain how the world came to be but rather what happens to things over time with changes in it's environment, food source, etc. You should be talking about the Big Bang or Ambiogenesis compared to Creation, not Evolution.

Answer 4

I actual have asked myself this many circumstances interior the previous and are available to discover which you do no longer could have confidence what all and sundry tells you to. All religions are an insignificant wager. God is what some human beings have been raised in believing so as that's what they hold on with. some human beings question each little thing and stray from faith. the reason i think in God immediately is with the aid of the fact I actual have considered the divine intervention in my own existence. For a on an identical time as i became advantageous no person became listening and became additionally advantageous God became no longer a guy. you do no longer could pass with what all and sundry says is fairly genuine no count number what. human beings will continuously criticize what you think in. i do no longer have confidence in a God that has a picture and is judgmental and violent like maximum of people do. The God I chosen to have confidence in is the single that created the celebs for a reason. Who flourishes in nature. Who opens the soul whilst we enable it. A God who loves and is often there yet does no longer chase any individuals. i think god is interior the sky and interior the earth. i think God is what began this universe. I learn science a great deal in my unfastened time yet I have no clarification for an incredible style of issues. Like why now and returned finding on the clouds can deliver me peace or hearth can deliver me understand. i think in a God who created each plant for a reason and each animal besides. some how all of us artwork out in order that... I pray via fact i'm grateful. I pray no longer understanding who or what i'm praying to yet that obtainable is a few thing extra beneficial than I who could make great transformations with the gust of a wind. Or a downfall of rain. i think all religions, no count number if or no longer they admit it, have confidence interior the comparable God. they're okay here attempting to do the artwork of the good. there's a persevering with conflict between good and evil and you purely could %. a facet. and attempt your superb. we are only human even with each little thing.

Answer 5

I completely agree with you. I have to go with whoever has more solid evidence; in this case, Evolution. It makes absolutely no sense that God created this world for humans when dinosaurs lived over 200 million years. Humans have been around 5 million if you count "Lucy" as a human. In reality, civilizations have been around roughly 10,000 years which is about 30 seconds in geological time. It seems like a waste of time if God wanted to create a world for humans.....great question.

Answer 6

Well, my argument on there NOT being a god is the fact that as a child I was often told, if you don't eat your Brussels sprouts, the boogey man will get you. as an adult I can see the similarities in the Christian faith. The life of Christ was documented by followers, who wanted this man to be their savior, from the life of slavery that they had been living for thousands of years. To SAY that he walked on water, and raised people from the dead, would make him some powerful being that could accomplish this, and more! To threaten weak-mind peasants with Roman catholic persecutions, (like the Inquisition did,) it just reminds me of the Brussels sprouts!

Answer 7

You're absolutely correct. Evolution is not a theory - it is a fact that has withstood scientific scrutiny. Creationism is entirely based upon faith, which can neither be proven or disproven. We'll find out who was right when we die. As we're alive, perhaps we should enjoy the life that has been given to us.

Answer 8

I realize that people believe that it is impossible to prove the unexistence of anything, but they are wrong. It can, for example, be proved that there is no even prime number greater than two. Other people use to say that there is no way to prove if there is a god or not, or even that we cannot get any knowledge of god (agnosticism). My opinion as a strong atheist, is that we can in fact prove that god does not exist in the physical world.

There are things that are impossible to do. For example nobody can cover a two-dimensional surface with two-dimensional circles, without making them overlap. It is impossible to add the numbers two and two and get 666. You can not go back in time (without passing an infinite entropy barrier). The number of things that are impossible to do are almost infinite. If god were to be almighty he would be able to do them, but it's impossible to do so.

Some people say that he can only do things that are logically possible to do, but what is? Is it logically possible to walk on water? Is it logically possible to rise from the dead? Is it logically possible to stand above time, space and all other dimensions - and still exist? I'd say that everything which violates the laws of physics are logically impossible and thus omnipotence is logically impossible. Besides if omnipotence is a relative quality there is no way to tell omnipotence from non-omnipotence. For omnipotence to be a valid expression it must be absolute, but we have no objective criteria to measure omnipotence so the word itself is useless.

Another way to disprove the almighty god is that omnipotence leads to paradoxes. Can god make a rock that is too heavy for him to carry? Can god build a wall that even he can't tear down?

Also, if god knows everything, he knows what he will do in the "future" (in any dimension, not necessary the time dimension). He must have known that from the very start of his own existence. Thus god's actions are predestined. God is tied by faith, he has no free will. If god has no free will god is not omnipotent. Another way to put it is that to be able to make plans and decisions one must act over time. If god stands above time he can not do that and has no free will. Indeed, if god stands above all dimensions god is dimensionless - a singularity, nothing, void!

Besides there can exist no free wills at all if god is almighty. If you had a free will, god wouldn't know what you would do tomorrow and wouldn't be omnipotent.

Answer 9

well, its obviously impossible to prove or disprove the existence of a deity. But asking someone who believes,you will always get close to the same response. they try to prove the existence of a god, by using the bible, as if that were really good enough to accept as proof..

Im not an atheist, nor am I agnostic, but I think its silly how people bicker over and over again about the existence of god, or the tired "creationism vs evolution" crap.

Answer 10

There's more kinds of evidence than what can be observed or touched. I wouldn't expect any atheists to understand this concept but that doesn't make it any less true. I don't like math, but when someone else tells me they like math I believe them even though I don't understand what connection they feel to it. Just have respect for those that have felt experienced things in a way that you haven't. To everyone who has experienced God, it has been PROVEN to them that He exists. If you haven't then He hasn't been proven and words or charts can't explain it.
