I need scientific arguments disproving wiccan, as in logic&science, not sarcasm?

Question

the title explained it all

yea thanks guys

because a wiccan wants me to join a wiccan study group, and i dont believe in that, but I need some claims to lay my foundation on

Answer 1

A true Wiccan, or even witch would not press you to join them. I agree that a simple "I am not interested, it is not my path" should suffice, you should not have to provide a reason. They are generally not like Christians who will press until they get what they feel is a satisfactory reason why one is not interested. They usually run away pretty quickly when I respond with "Because I am a witch!"
You can no more disprove Wicca than you can Christianity, it is a matter of faith.

Answer 2

The Randi Foundation will give anyone who can prove 'casting spells' works $1 million.

Last I looked no Wiccan has stepped forward for the $1 million to show their 'spells' work.

They're too busy casting spells to get the cool boy to fall in love with them probably.

Answer 3

Logic dictates that it is up to the Wiccans to prove their claims. Pagans often set themselves up by claiming to affect the physical world. That can be tested.

Christians do the same thing with the whole "power of prayer" crap.

Answer 4

well it's not really an issue to me, wiccans aren't generally in the habit of insisting that their beliefs be taught as science in science classes. but for me one issue is that sexuality is demonstrably a physical attribute, not a mental/spiritual one as the wiccan lord/lady deities would suggest. we can be fairly confident that whatever properties gods have, they don't have x and y chromosomes.

of course other religions such as christianity are vulnerable to this sort of criticism but wicca seems to emphasise the spiritual nature of sexuality more.

Answer 5

science runs on measurement and the cause and effect of the laws of the universe it has discovered through scientific method and proof by experiment . Wiccan does not . it's more likely to look for proof for wicca but knowing there is none one can set up experiments to test its claims . try a double blind test based on what wicca do for their results and see for yourself.

Answer 6

technology won't declare that god is an impossibility. even with the shown fact that that's utilized to discredit many factors of many religions, god is merely too nebulous of an theory to thoroughly disprove. even even with the shown fact that, technology will contend that each and every thing we commonly characteristic to god could be a consequence of organic occurrences quite than the will of a few divine being. Rational theory (particularly Occam's razor) additionally traditionally prefers suggestions which assume the fewest form of entities. So, no. it won't disprove the theory of a god. merely state there is no reason to think of there's a god.

Answer 7

Why do you need a foundation for claims? If you're not interested you're not interested. You don't have to give reasons.

Wicca is a religion. Like other religions, it cannot be proved or disproved. It's faith.

Answer 8

You're going to have a tough time because Wicca really isn't a formal belief system with specific deities, doctrines, beliefs, practices, etc. It varies from practitioner to practitioner. If you can't formalize what they believe then it's hard to come up with arguments against it.

Answer 9

People who believe in the supernatural, and want you to consider it are presenting you with a claim.

Why should it be your job to disprove it?

It's *their* job to provide *you* with evidence to support their claims.

Ask them what scientific evidence there is to support their beliefs.

Answer 10

if you don't want to get involved you just say no, wiccans are not out to convert everyone! it won't be a problem
