how can an Atheist prove the non existing of a God to an Agnostic ??

Question

if an atheist cannot prove the non-existance of a god desnt that make him an agnostic ?
Agnostics claim either that it is not possible to have absolute or certain knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of God or gods;

Answer 1

Whoa... a lot to clear up here.
1) Nothing can be proven.
2) Agnosticism is not separate from atheism.
3) Atheist-agnostic: Absence of belief in a god or gods. "I do not believe in god(s)."
Atheist-gnostic: Absence of belief in a god or gods and active denial of. "I know there is/are no god(s)."

Agnostics are either atheist or theist. You're implying all are theists.

Answer 2

Everyone keeps saying that you can't prove the non-existence of anything, but I think that's patently false. I think it would entirely possible to prove that there are no T-Rex's on this earth. And it would entirely possible to prove the non-existence of many other things.

Then I hear people say that the burden of proof lies with the believer though your question wasn't for the believer. The burden of proof lies with anyone making a claim. A believer has the burden of proof cast upon him to prove there is a God, just as the atheist has the burden of proof cast upon him to affirm the non-existence of God. If it is both true and logical that God doesn't exist, then it should be able to be proven. If not, why to atheists bank everything on something they can't prove, when they only believe in things they can prove in the first place. It's circular logic and fraught with problems.

As an aside, notice how very few of the atheists even attempted to tackle the question, but instead gave answers that would make a politican look honest?

Answer 3

You can't prove that something doesn't exist. Here's an example: prove unicorns don't exist. Are you going to search the entire world looking for unicorns so you can say "Look, I didn't find one, I guess they don't exist."
The best you can do is offer an alternate theory, which is what science does. The bigbang theory/evolution is our best current guess as to how the world could have come into being without the existence of a higher power, but it doesn't necesarily disprove God's existence- just offers an alternative explanation so that belief in God is unnecesary.

Answer 4

If there is a god then he is not the one talked about it the bible, qu'ran, or torah, which are the books of the 3 major realigns in the world, and they have been proven wrong beyond a reasonable doubt, so since there all wrong then why believe at all, must other religions don't care what you believe as long as you live a good life, so why should there good care what you believe or disbelieve.

Answer 5

One cannot prove that an object under discussion does not exist. Rather, in the absence of empirical evidence to the contrary, the object is assumed not to exist until such time as it can be empirically demonstrated that the object does exist.
The burden of proof rests upon the party proclaiming that the object under discussion does exist.

Answer 6

thats why they never because agnostic admit that they don't know much about the god they believe.

for the answerer above.

atheist don't believe in god , believer want them to believe in god , yet they cant show concrete proof and then they ask atheist to prove god doesnt exist.

lol?

circular logic ? not as circular as the bible say so because god says so because the bible said god said so.

Answer 7

I can only ask the Agnostic... What is the PROBABILITY, not the possibility, that anything like the god of the bible exists?
You say, anything is Possible... Okay, but do you think it is likely?
I say, no, it is not.

By the way, you cannot prove "non-existence".

Answer 8

I like Bertrand Russell's famous analogy:

If I say there is a teapot orbiting between Jupiter and Mars, an earthbound observing has no way of proving or disproving it.

We must therefore all be orbiting teapot agnostics.

However, there isn't one of us who believes in the slightest that there is such a thing, even though we cannot disprove it.

Therefore in practice we are all orbiting teapot atheists.

Answer 9

We can not. Just as we cannot prove the non-existance of the tooth fairy. However, based on the lack of evidence for god and the vast evidence to the contrary, we feel as confident about the absence of god as the tooth fairy.

Answer 10

WE CANT...
But we choose to rely on logic instead of faith in an intangible thing...

We cant prove the existence or nonexistence of a GOD... neither can you...
