I suggest you look up "Popperian falsifiability".

 

All it would take is a single piece of evidence for a deity, to

falsify his conclusion.

There's nothing to disprove.

 

It's up to those who insist it is real to prove it.

 

Until then the falsifiable conclusion is "no it isn't".

 

It's exactly the same methodology even theists use for practically

every other claim:

 

"I own the Golden Gate Bridge"

 

"No you don't, prove it"

So he should show you absolutely no objective verifiable evidence?

Thats a rather easy challange to meet isnt it?

They are both impossible - and one impossible thing cannot be more

difficult than another impossible thing.

Also - you are changing the subject - he was (stupidly in my humble

opinion) talking about evidence and you are talking about prooof.

 

You might actually be dumber than Bill.

And that's sayin' somethin.

As I see it, the issue is not really whether there is any god. It is

always about a particular god which the believers say they have

knowledge of. I don't say that I know there is no god, but I don't see

any reason to believe there is. I certainly don't see why "knowing" god

is just be a matter of wanting to and is accomplished through telepathy.

What I am certain of is that the believers know nothing about any god.

All they have is belief and no amount of belief adds up to any amount

of knowledge.

It's reasonable to go further, and reach a falsifiable conclusion

pending their backing up their claims.

 

Things which contribute to the conclusion are the use of fallacies,

copouts, etc.

 

Each one of which is a data point against.

 

So far there are no data points for.

 

Also the fact that the only reason to bring it up is as a religious

presumption.

 

There are even absolute conclusions if they have defined it in such a

way that it cannot exist.

I fully agree.

 

What they think they know and believe is based entirely on what other

like minded individuals have told them, and in most cases,

their parents as well.

 

The gods of black magic on any Carribean Island

and man's other gods are no differewnt

- they are all in the imagination

 

And we like to call ourselves 'civilised' !

 

The chances are that when religionists from 'the other camp'

get their nuclear devices

we may well destroy most of humaninity in the name of our imaginary gods

 

I repeat 'and we call ourselves civilised !'

 

Maybe in a couple of million years the chimps may learn to talk

and then watch out

for the first chimp god

looking remarkably chimplike

It depends on what you mean by "God".

 

Einstein said he believed in "Spinoza's God", and

I am certain you would admit THAT "God" does exist.

(HINT: Spinoza's GOD=NATURE, the COSMOS,

i.e. "All that is, ever was, or ever will be." [sagan]) -- L.

 

P.S. The fact the you or I prefer NOT to call it "God"

does in no way prove that "Spinoza's God" does not exist.

Unlike the gods of the authors of the "holy books",

it is the ONLY "God" which obviously, objectively exists.

===Caught you!

You speak of "intellectual honesty", yet make totally false

statements.

1. Buddhism has no "God".

2. The gods dreamed up by the authors of ALL "sacred books"

are just imaginary beings. ALL od them.

3. There are absolutely NO "Hebrew scripture's

prophecies of God incarnating as the Saviour."

Nor does it prove God exists. Calling nature a God will not turn nature into a

God anymore than calling a weed a rose will turn a weed into a rose.

>Unlike the gods of the authors of the "holy books",

>it is the ONLY "God" which obviously, objectively exists.

 

Remember, that depends on what you mean by "God". Not everyone will agree with

your arbitrary definition of "God", so your arbitrary definition means nothing

in the pursuit of truth.

Hey Robyn. Do you deny that there is no permanent reality underlying

the visual world? Space is not infinite? You don't have to believe

that God exists, but you can't deny that there is an infinite unseen

universe. You would be denying science. You can't prove God but my

argument makes it so that you can't disprove God without denying

science. Then what are you left with? No argument. Just a bunch of

resentment towards a group of people (W.A.S.P.s) whom you think cause

every problem in this country, which is why people like you can slam on

people like me (I'm not a W.A.S.P by the way), but never really argue

much. Just look at the responses to my argument. They never disprove

anything I say. In the end you have no reasons the can stand up to

argument to believe what you do, just a bunch of memories about how

stereo-types of religious people have made you feel right about your

beliefs.

The defnition of the Christian God has changed dramatically over the past three

hundred years.

In other words, neither the word "Christian" or "God" have any meaning unless

you pretend they have meaning.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Supposedly if they didn't exist,

according to some folks, all forms of oppression in the world would

evaporate, the environment would never die, there would be no ethnic

warfare anywhere, and people would be free to believe whatever they

want without being told they're wrong. They are basically the top

scapegoat for deluded, convenience-loving, relativist, anti-social

morons in America.
