God Most Likely Does Not Exist

and we know how a thing might be real by trying to test for it. Before i begin i must say that the Burden of proof is not shared, In rules of Debate it is up to the side that asserts a proposition to make evidence for that case. I Am a Atheist, and Con which i assume is a Theist brings the claim that god does exist which as a atheist i say i don't accept your claim that god exists. If someone says Santa clause exists, it is up to someone who says he exists to provide proof that he does otherwise if proof is not met then it is rational to reject the claim that Santa exists. Now the Burden of proof would be shared if the debate was "God does not exist" which i would be presenting a affirmative stance which i would need to bring evidence to support. Now hopefully Con would bring up some good arguments in defense of god and if he does i might change my mind. But to clarify it is up to Con to bring evidence forward and show that god does exist. . https://en.wikipedia.org... I would also like to ask what religious god Con is trying to defend, Thank you :) But i will provide some arguments that a god most likely does not exist My first line of reasoning is that there is absolutely no empirical proof of god found in the cosmos, We know that in order for something to be known to exist we must first see it and test it through the scientific method. Con might say something along the lines of "God is beyond space and time" but this would leave us open to assume anything is outside our measurable and observable universe. We could be living in a virtual reality, Your entire life could be a dream, We could of been created a few days ago with our memories in place. We cant really prove or disprove such things and like God it is only an idea and unless Con can show some scientific evidence supporting God or God rearranges the stars and spells out a sentence saying that he exists or something like that. So if there's no way to prove god (Scientifically) then it is a useless proposition. . http://godisimaginary.com... Let me Quote, "That which is assured without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" - Christopher Hitches. I would also like to show how God is just a made up human concept that was used to try to explain natural processes and out of this it was also used to keep people in control. Since Science continues to answer basic questions about our reality everyday that continues to push God out of the natural world, so much in fact that now religious people are claiming that he is beyond the reach of science he can only be met by faith. For Example God's used to be in charge of human emotions and the weather but as Con i hope knows that we proved the ancient gods wrong . https://en.wikipedia.org... . https://en.wikipedia.org... . https://en.wikipedia.org... As God isn't needed to explain certain events and with science we can test to see how certain events come out in a natural way, and it has been a pattern. Everything God used to be explained for can be now explained by natural processes and it wouldn't be a surprise once we figure out how life emerges or how the universe came into existence that those events came about by natural processes. To Sum up point one, The more we know of the natural world the less relevant a god is needed to explain it. My Second point is that "God" as a concept even if it existed, we wouldn't know what is the correct god. Many form's of god exist and the most obvious proof for this is the thousands of god's and religions that have existed throughout mankind's history. . https://en.wikipedia.org... You would think that a all personal being who wants us to have a relationship with him would try to prove his existence to us in the best way he could. Speaking of he, We don't know What a god is in the first place. maybe we were created by a super advanced alien race that created us in a simulated reality, Maybe for all we know God is a girl, God might not even be human at all. But let's say the God is a White Male, We know still have the trouble of trying to figure out what he wants. Does he want us to blow up buildings and kill all people who reject what he wrote down in a book? Maybe he just wants us to give him animal or maybe even human sacrifice to please him. Imagine that, Our purpose for this deity is to stroke his ego and sacrifice our human beings to him. . https://en.wikipedia.org... But let's say the Christian god is the real god, and what he wants is for people to believe in him so they can be saved by some "Original sin" But then again i must say, Which form of this Christian denomination is the correct one? Which one correctly shows what this god wants? . https://en.wikipedia.org... So, Which form of the correct version of Christianity is correct? We Don't know! The Point being is that even if such a god was proven we wouldn't know anything about him to be relevant and plus this further proves the point that god is just some human invention and like last time i will end with a quote ""We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further. " To Summarize point two, God most likely does not exist because of the thousand's of times we have been wrong before on god and the sheer amount of god's that are involved just shows on how God is a made up human concept and therefore most likely does not exist. My Third point is that, at least the god we are talking about a "All Powerful, All Knowing, All Present, All Loving being" is logically impossible to exist. First of all in the all powerful statement, A being which can do anything he wants, I will bring up some ways on how he can defeat himself in being all powerful "If God is all powerful can he create a rock so heavy that even he himself can't lift it"? If God can create a rock that He cannot lift, then God is not omnipotent. If God cannot create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it, then God is not omnipotent. Showing that a all powerful being can not exist. Next i am going to show how a all powerful and all loving being can not exist. . https://en.wikipedia.org... This is commonly known as "The Problem of Evil" It goes like If God is all powerful and all loving wouldn't he in his all loving nature try to prevent the unnecessary suffering of his fellow creations? We as humans experience Suffering and we label it as bad and if a god in his all loving nature wants us to be loved than why make the human race go through suffering? "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? " Also for most cases the God most people believe in has some sort of tortures afterlife for those who do not believe or behave badly in the real world. . https://en.wikipedia.org... The mere existence of hell shows that a All Loving being can not exist, Even we as fallible and not all loving humans could see that a fellow human no matter how evil should be tortured, much less forever. Hell was just made up to scare children into believing and causes severe physiological trauma and this what makes people stay religious. If God Sends people to hell not only is he not all loving, He is EVIL. I'm saying if God is real and with that god comes hell then that god is not all loving. Also most religious text's show that we have free will, But if God is all knowing and knows what's going to happen ahead of time then how do we have free will? ? If the god were talking about is the god of the bible or koran that says we have free will then in order for that to be true the god of the bible or koran cant be all knowing. God most likely does not exist because there is no proof for him, God has come about as a way to explain the natural order which has been replaced by science. God has also been used to further political agendas which show's in the existence of hell and the political ideas that religions command its followers to do. Also i have shown that some of the attributes we know god has are logically impossible to have. Can't wait to see the arguments Con brings up that prove the existence of god! Have Fun and Good Luck! :)
