If we had solid scientific evidence that there was no God, how would your life change?

Question

For me (a Christian) the following would change:

1) I wouldn't be filled with fear and worry as to if hell was a final destination for me. As a result, I would be able to relax and enjoy my life. A great burden would be lifted from me.

2) I would be very aggresive to get a girlfriend because vagina would be in the equation this time, and no matter how many times I got rejected I would still seek one out.

3) After I found a girlfriend, I would fornicate many many times with her, and when we broke up I would repeat the process with a new girlfriend.

4) There would be no point in getting married. I would just have a girlfriend, and we would have sex. We can sleep together, but enjoy all the benefits of not living underneath the same roof. Marriages are expensive and time consuming anyways.

5) I would stop going to church, praying, and reading my Bible. No more money would be given to the church.

6) When I loved and cared for people, It would be better>>>

and more genuine because this time I would actually have my own choice to do it, and It wouldn't be out of fearful complusion.

The reason I am still a Christian is because what was stated in my question is very very very very very unfortunately never going to happen, and I don't want to go to hell. The fear is very strong. Don't kid yourself on that!

People I'm not trying to say that God doesn't exist. You missed the point of my question. I'm just as much as a Christian as the next person, and I don't think I should be judged because I speak what is truly on my mind.

Well in case your wondering, I've read the Bible, and Jesus said that nearly everyone is going to hell (Matthew 7:13-14). He also said Christians aren't immuned to the situation neither (Matthew 7:21-23! only an extremely small minority of Christian believers will go to heaven. I recommend that person who told me that I wasn't a Christian should really read those verses I gave them.

Everybody seems to be having trouble with the science part, I'm sorry I put that in there. What I ment was IF we knew 100% that there was no God, how would your life change?

Again, I don't think you should judge me, and tell me I'm not a true Christian just because I'd rather have no God in this universe/existence.

Please don't get so hung up on how we would know that God didn't exist, that's not the point of my question. Just for this senario of what IF, accept the fact that we know. NOW, I want to know how your life would change. please tell me that. This is not a debate on if God exists. Or how we would know. I already believe he does, and I am therefore suffering the negative side effects of it. I won't change neither. I already told you why.

Answer 1

I don't think believers would change at all: if you have what it takes to believe the baloney in the bible now, then a little "science" won't stop you from believing. Ignorance is bliss my brutha.

Answer 2

Well, my friend you dont have to worry about that happening because their will never be hard core evidence that God does not exist. You would of had to be their when the universe was created to say it happened by accident. But all seriousness if you just think about all this happening by complete accident, it just kinda happened, compaired to God who knows all things created this. Which one makes more sense. Even if one try's to say trial and errer created it. That doesn't make sense because then somthing with a brain would of had to correct it each time. Anyway hyperthetically speaking if we did find out God did not exist and it did happen by accident. I think My reaction would be quit the opposite of yours.
First, I woul stop giving a crap about people because there is no point they are just going to die and nothing will happen.

Second, I would become very selfish to try and become rich and live the only life I have as sinful as possible, because even though sin in the end will destroy you while you are doing it, it feels great.

Third, I would try to pick up girls for sex, instead of a relationship and patential marrage. I wouldn't say that I would never get married. But I would sure wait until I was alot older.

Unlike you I am not filled with fear for going to hell because I know I wont sense Jesus paid the price for me. So their wouldn't be any more of relaxation for me.
Right now I am not following God very well because I dont want to follow Him out of wanting gifts in heaven, I want to follow Him out of love for what He has done for me. So I am doing an experiement and I am going to let God change me because I believe He is alive and that He will change me as long as I let Him. So far He has changed me as much as I have let Him.
Another thing that all should be mature enough to admit. Which famouse Atheist have said. Life just doesn't make sense without God.
The reason for being here. The life we have with all our feelings, just doesn't belong. It is all just too bizarre without God. Thats why life just doesn't make sense without God.

Answer 3

My life wouldn't change at all. I think there is already decent evidence to blow any religion's concept of God out of the water. As for you, good luck finding all these fantasy women who would be game for your endless sexual escapades. I think you'll find this won't be as easy as you imagine.
5) Good. Save your money. Churches don't deserve it anyway. Start today.
6) How do you love people now? If it's only because your relgion tells you to, I wouldn't call that love at all. It's more like tolerance.

Answer 4

My life would not change. First of all, it'd be idiotic to believe a discipline which limits itself to NATURAL phenomena only could EVER detect, let alone prove OR disprove God, who is by definition a SUPERnatural Being.

Second, I have enough respect for my fellow human beings not to use them as a piece of meat.

And if you're not enjoying your time in church, you're wasting your time. Stop pretending to be a Christian. It's not fooling God, and not doing you any good.

Answer 5

First, if you have given your life to Christ and have declared that you have no remedy for sin but his sacrifice for us on the cross, you need not fear hell. No one who depends on Christ and belongs to him will be abandoned to hell, our sins are forgiven. The proof that we are is that our lives change for the better and we begin producing the fruits of the Spirit which is love for God and our fellow man.

Second, God is supernatural (above nature). Science is the study of nature. Therefore, science will never be able to prove or disprove his existence.

Nevertheless for the sake of the thought experiment, here's my take.

I wouldn't give money to the poor, or volunteer to help kids learn to read, or follow any law unless I thought I wouldn't be caught. I wouldn't feel like I had to be forgiving or kind to anyone I didn't like. I would have encouraged my husband to sue his father's estate to have his will overturned and to sue all his clients who don't pay the full amount. I wouldn't give the money back when a clerk gives me too much change. I wouldn't spend time visiting the elderly and the sick. I wouldn't spend money sending care packages to soldiers I don't even know.

I would fear death and have no hope of heaven to sustain me through illness and misfortune.

Answer 6

There is no way science can prove the existence or non-existence of God. The existence or non-existence of God cannot be proved or disproved scientifically. At best we can cite certain scientific laws and theories (big bang, second law of thermodynamics, DNA etc.), which indicate the existence of God. There can be no scientific proof, simply because God is not physical or material. He is spiritual and infinite.

But if we broaden our notion of science to include knowledge of things that we get from observing their effects on other things, then God can be known from science.

I have proven to myself God exists so there is no way for me to answer your question. I talk to him every day and he answers my prayers. That's good enough proof for me.

And by the way, testimonial evidence is accepted in a court of law.

Answer 7

If you are a TRUE CHRISTIAN and SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF NO GOD WAS PROVED then you and all of CREATION NEVER HAPPENED .NO GOD = NO CREATION.There is no other answer.Which means there were no scientists to prove there was no God.in the first place.Do you agree? If not then you would have to be an Atheist, in the first place.,not a Christian.You can't have it both ways.

Answer 8

A true believer would never accept so called "solid scientific evidence" there is no God any more than a true anti-believer would accept evidence that God exists.You are merely speculating what you would do.Your question is moot.

Answer 9

1-if you're filled with worry and fear of hell, i have a news flash for you...Christians DON'T fear hell
2-4)-i've seen your other posts...there IS such a thing as too much information, scooter...there's kinky and then there's KINKY...you've got a whole alternate universe thing going on
5)-if you were sitting in an oven, would you consider yourself a biscuit? then why in the name of all that is holy do you consider yourself a Christian?
6)-i've seen your idea of loving and caring...i'll settle for a hallmark card once or twice a lifetime, 'kay?

Answer 10

There's perfectly adequate evidence that there is no god, and no hard evidence whatsoever that there is.

Some of us already live in the world you describe, and we ain't so weird.

Given the pain you're in, I think you should read up and learn to discard the imaginary deities.
