Is the God hypothesis really just a hypothesis? And if so hasn't it already been proven false?

Question

A hypothesis is:
1. a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena, either asserted merely as a provisional conjecture to guide investigation (working hypothesis) or accepted as highly probable in the light of established facts.
2. a proposition assumed as a premise in an argument.
3. the antecedent of a conditional proposition.
4. a mere assumption or guess.

Where did we all come from? A frequent mere assumption / guess / antecedant of a conditional propostition / assertion is that God did it. This is logical only because as far as humans are aware of, humans are the most intelligent and powerful beings in the universe. So if we were created by anyone, it would be someone like us. That makes some sense, but it possesses problematic premises: that humans are the greatest thing ever, and that we needed something intelligent and powerful to create us. I cannot think of any reason why someone powerful

and intelligent would ever want to create us. It can't have been out of love: can you love a cat without knowing any of the characteristics of a cat?

This suggests to me that either we are the results of a chance combining of various acids to form RNA, or else products of ourselves. I am the only person in existence that I can think of that would want me to exist without knowing what I'm like first.

So if we have three options: The God hypothesis, the Self hypothesis or the Random Chance Theory, I'd pick one of the latter two, wouldn't you?

Actually hEaLtH_fReAk.com, not everyone on Y/A DOES know what a hypothesis is, you know how some people can be, you have to spell everything out to them. I wasn't rying to sound smart or anything, I was just responding to something that came up previously.

Sahar, what the HELL are you talking about?

birdsflies, what cuss words? Anyway, you show me where someone's proven he DOES exist. Everything is non-existence until it can be proven otherwise.

Answer 1

i'm sure half the people on here know what a hypothesis is. stop trying to sound smart make your point more quickly...fine, sorry (Eyes Wide Open).

Answer 2

It is essential in framing a hypothesis that the investigator does not currently know the outcome of a potentially falsifying test or that it remains reasonably under continuing investigation. Only in such cases does the experiment, test or study potentially increase the probability of showing the truth of a hypothesis. If the researcher already knows the outcome, it counts as a "consequence" — and the researcher should have already considered this while formulating the hypothesis.

Faith is the evidence of things not seen. And no, God has never been proved false - only denied to exist by atheists. These same "scientists" refuse to accept scientific proof of anything that could imply God's existence.

How many scientists are searching for the cause of the flood or if a flood could have caused the ice age? There is plenty of evidence around the world that a great flood happened. The glaciers are filled with animals who were so quickly frozen that the contents of their stomachs still exist today. Some were frozen while chewing buttercups. How does any animal chew buttercups while being covered with snow in a slowly changing environment? This is proof that the "evolutionary process" leading to the ice age is wrong. So now that this process has been disproven, isn't it time to move on to discover proof of the cause of this ice age?

I have included links that show evidence of things spoken of from the beginning of time in The Holy Bible.

Answer 3

considering is a concept, it is not called actuality. Theories or areas of theories would be shown incorrect and then yet another concept varieties. it is how technology works. you have an concept, you are trying it, if it would not paintings, you are trying it back with an developed concept. a minimum of it is falsifiable, while some thing is inaccurate, we alter our concept and take a verify out it back. merely the reality that there are some areas that are incorrect recommend that we are doing some thing proper. What approximately each and all of the information in help of the belief. I additionally happen to have confidence that there is a Lepercuan decrease than my table, yet whenever you seem there it disappears. no one has shown me information that it is fake, so it may be actual, proper?

Answer 4

The existence of God has never been proven. However, it has never been disproven, either. Contrary to your statement that "Everything is non-existence until it can be proven otherwise", a scientific approach assumes everything exists until it is disproven. That's the whole reason for a hypothesis in the first place.

If we postulate that the ability to prove or disprove God's existence exceeds man's grasp, then we can assume that the existence of God can be equally likely and unlikely - decided on a coin toss - 50% He does/50% He does not.

You live as though God exists and believe in God:
- If God exists, you go to heaven: your gain is infinite.
- If God does not exist, you gain nothing & lose nothing.

You live as though God does not exist and/or do not believe in God:
- If God exists, you go to hell: your loss is infinite.
- If God does not exist, you gain nothing & lose nothing.

Given this, it's ridiculous and illogical not to believe in God, as the potential for gain/loss is significant in the case of belief, while the gain/loss from disbelief is nil. Even the projection man may one day be able to disprove God, it is not the case at the moment, and, therefore, it is again logical to believe in God rather than gamble infinate gain/loss on an uncertain future potentiality.

It's Pascal's Wager, formulated by Blaise Pascal and circulated after his death in his Pensees. It's one of the foundations of game theory, and was postulated WAY back in the day where people had to justify their opinions logically and rationally, and not just toss out opinions like garbage.

There's a contrary position called the Atheist's Wager, but that rests on living a benevolent life so that God might forgive you for not believing in Him if He does, in fact, exist. The risk there, of course, is that the atheist hopes for a posthumously forgiving God who values the method of ones living higher than the manner of one's belief.

Answer 5

It is only your opinion that God is a hypothesis. For Christians, we know He exists. You can't comprehend God's existance because you don't want to. You have to have an open mind (and heart) to understand.

1 Corinthians 2:14 -- The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Answer 6

After reading your long sly statement, I find you are only looking at the flesh part of a person, We are made in God's image, what is made in his image, Not the body, but the soul. Now I see you begin to use cuss words because someone got on your nerves, that shows me that you must not be a Christian, Therefore You will never understand that the soul are made in God's image not the body. Now you show me where it has been proven that God don't exist.

Answer 7

the hypothesis of God's reality proved in ur body, just pinch it if u feel it real then its creator is reality. And to see him just try to see a point at tip of ur nose, can u? no!!! then only small glass is better than u, it can show u the tip clearly. Knowledge frnd can show. That is why Quran tells "can a person with knowledge and without knowledge be equal, same like light and darkness can't be equal"

Answer 8

I'd choose the God hypothesis, because i know God exists... what's your point?

You did try to sound smarter than you actually are, that ENTIRE question coulda been shortened to "Do you believe in God or not?". I know Atheists like to pretend they know something, but you stretched it just abit too much.

Answer 9

No! You much live by that old saying " If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull ****.
Get a life will ya?
God Bless!
