I believe the biggest proof we have against the existence of God is that everyone is born without beliefs.?

Question

Religion is learned ever since infancy and no one on this planet comes out the womb thinking "God created me". This is where Religion fails... enough said.

Answer 1

It's not a conclusive "proof" against God. If it was then you could say the same about science and evolution. The difference is though that science has plenty of other evidence going for it as well. But you're right about people being born without religious belief.

Answer 2

I disagree only on the point of ‘proof’. God(s) is an un-testable hypothesis and, therefore, cannot be the subject of scientific investigation. It is not possible to prove (scientifically) the non-existence of something or the existence of something that does not operate by the physical theories and laws that explain the processes that drive the known universe.

We may not know a lot about the rules in imaginary spiritual universes, but we have a fair grasp of what goes on here in the real world. We understand things like friction, forces, and action-reaction; and this allows us to know that it is not possible to move things in our universe and not leave some physical trace – so, for example, it is impossible for something (or someone) to simultaneous possess the ability to open a door and be able to pass through it in ‘ghostly’ fashion (because if force is exerted on the door, it exerts equal force back upon whatever that thing is).

If a God were to physically interact in our universe, he would have to leave a ‘fingerprint’, and that would allow us to track him down and interact in his world. Of course, that means that he would not be supernatural – and that sort of defeats the purpose of the God-thing, huh?

Answer 3

Exactly, and the proof is the absence of religion or god in feral/abandoned children. Children lost or living in the wild since early childhood have been discovered, and without the influence of humans, they have been found to have ZERO understanding of any god. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that god and spirituality are not natural, innate features, but are TAUGHT to us by other humans.

Further, although they are clearly human, efforts to instill in them a belief in god have been fruitless. They are mostly interested in food and safety, and care little for civilized living.

If a god truly existed, why would he forsake these lost children?

Answer 4

specific I proudly believe in and believe God. The God of the Holy Bible. look on the existence of Jesus Christ. His teachings have been gentle-years previous maximum human beings's questioning, even at present. He lived a appropriate existence, did no incorrect, yet replaced into crucified on a wood bypass for wrongful accusations. His existence served as a blueprint on the thank you to handle others and greater importantly to stay holy regardless of how a lot of human beings criticize you. If all human beings lived greater like him, there could be no wars, no corrupt governments, and prisons could be empty. regrettably this international is crammed with sin. yet nonetheless i'm chuffed and rejoice him maximum on a daily basis. so a techniques as data is going for God's existence, it makes greater sense to me that the universe and its very precise measurements practice that some form of better intelligence had greater effective than some thing to do with it.

Answer 5

But how were gods/goddesses thought of in the first place?

At first people worshiped all things that we depended on

sun god, moon gods, god of the hunt, the list goes on....

it IS natural for us to want and believe in a higher power.. and to wonder where we came from

although a single god doesn't make sense to some...
many people (as well as myself )try to sepperate ourselves from the taught religions

look into yourself, ask yourself what you believe and follow that

Answer 6

The Nature thing is to believe that God created us and this universe, on the other hand , it is odd to think that creatures, planets , universe, etc. were created haphazardly.

If you look around you and you see buildings, cars, parks etc, do you think it created its own?, for sure you take it granted that somebody has made it.

if you don't believe that cars, plans,building, streets have create its own, what about more complicated issues like the earth , planets , universe, creatures, electrons, cells, etc., also nobody can believe it created its own. The only explanation is that a supreme power behind that and that power is God my friend.

Answer 7

Interesting! Do you have documentation to back up your theory?

Actually, even in remote parts of the world, where mono-theism has never been taught, the aboriginal peoples have a sense that there is a higher power governing them. Often they attribute it to nature rather than Creator.

One of the reasons why missionaries are often successful in remote areas of the world is that the questions the people have had for centuries are finally answered.

Answer 8

Since you don't know everyone, you can't truthfully make this claim. You may believe this, but you cannot prove it. If man truly created God, then some people must have thought that God existed without being taught by someone else.

Answer 9

No one comes out of the womb thinking anything. Thinking comes much later. Granted, mankind has a sin nature when born. You don't have to teach a child to be bad, however you have a responsibility to the child to teach them to love and honor God. If you don't, you are to blame.

Answer 10

Do you remember your birth? So therefore, you have no grounds for this statement. If you can remember you thoughts and your perceptions during birth and infancy stages, then you will be able to convince me, but unless you remember what you were thinking the second you came out of your mothers womb, I'm not buying it.
