Does God Exist

I will be proving why God does not exist. I lay outlines for my arguments in order to make contentions easier to understand. Contention 1-No Empirical Evidence There is no empirical evidence that proves God's existence. The only evidence that has been laid out is by the people in the Bible which have already asserted biases. 1. There are no existing pictures of God. 2. People claim in the Bible that they hear God's voice which can be classified as a mental disorder. 3. The Jesus Christ Argument. 1. What makes God so hard to believe is that there are no pictures of him. He has existed for a long time, and has made appearances to people from time to time again. This is the era where digital cameras exist. If God wanted his rules and commandments followed; he could just make it easier and appear to everybody proclaiming that he existed. He never does this. As of now, there is no photographic evidence of his existence. 2. There are a lot of people that claim that they have heard God's voice. Abraham who was extremely old claimed that he heard God's voice. Also, the sub-plot in the Abraham myth is that he was extremely old, and God gave him the ability to reproduce. God also blessed Abraham's lineage. If Abraham existed today, he would have been thrown into a hospital for people who hallucinate. 3. The Jesus Christ Argument usually will claim that Jesus Christ existed, therefore God existed. Many people claim that he is son of God. Those same people will claim that Jesus is God. I have 3 questions for my opponent to answer in the next round. 1. Why does Jesus pray to himself? . http://biblehub.com... 2. Why does Jesus call God the Father even though he is the father? 3. The Holy Spirit was supposed to be created out of the Father and Son's love for each other. The Holy Spirit also existed before the Father and Son even loved each other? Contention 2-Silly Myths The Bible and The Quran are full of silly stories. These silly stories furthermore prove that God does not exist. 1. Creation 2. Noah's ark 3. Sodom and Gomorrah 1. Creation is the childish story on the idea that God created the world in 7 days. It says it in the Bible. I believe that 7 days has actually turned into 6 thousand years. Correct me if I am wrong. Either way, Scientists already have proved that the world was not created in 6 thousand years. The world took billions of years to be formed. It took over 10 billion years for the Earth to solidly form, and the Earth also had to go through many eras before we could even have an environment capable of producing human life. If my opponent wants to say that this was a metaphor, than he has to explain why God was being so cryptic. He has to give the burden of proof explaining why God was not clear in his explanation for how the earth was created. 2. Noah's ark is empirically and physically irrational. The idea that Noah built an Ark that could survive a flood that would destroy all human life on earth. The idea that Noah put animals of each kind on the Ark is impossible. The story also proves that God is willing to kill a majority of human life even though he loves everybody. I could compare him to the famous dictators in the 20th century according to this myth. 3. Sodom and Gomorrah is an explanation for why God hates gays. Two Angels visit a place for shelter. A guest lets them stay, but rude gay people start knocking on the door, because they wanted to rape those two angels. The Angel tells them to get outside of the town, because God didn't like the gay people there. They leave. First of all, there is no evidence by any historians that this ever happened, and proves that God has human prejudices. Contention 3-Heaven and Hell The central theme that all Christians, Jews, and Muslims love is that there is an afterlife. Heaven is for the good, and Hell is for the bad. There are many problems with this mentality. 1. Heaven alienates other religions that believe they themselves are right. 2. Criminals do not deserve Hell. 1. If one is born into a religion; it is almost certain that the certain individual will stay in that religion and not convert. There are examples of people converting to other religions, but is usually unlikely. I would like my opponent to look at these figures which are just unbearable from a human perspective: If you are Christian, than 4.5 billion people will burn in Hell. If you are Muslim, than 5 billion people will burn in Hell. If you are secular, than 0 people will burn in Hell. Are you saying that the God that loves us all will send a majority of his children to Hell. My opponent might claim that it is there fault for not converting. What If it is your fault that you did not convert to Islam? What if it is your fault you did not convert to Judaism? What if it is your fault for not converting to Hinduism? The Gods of those religions will blame you. It is not your fault if Christianity was engrained in your brain from birth. Empirical evidence shows that not many people will leave there faiths. 2. I am a determinist. I believe that factors, environment, circumstances, and DNA will have a significant impact on the way you will behave as an adult. There are many cases in America and around the world where there are criminals. Criminals that are impoverished. Criminals that have horrible father figures. Criminals that have the genetics of another criminal in their family. Criminals that do not have the same educational opportunities as us. I believe that if every criminal was given the right factors, the right environment, the right circumstances, and right DNA would prosper. But, they usually do not have those benefits. God will send them to Hell most definitely just because they had the wrong environment and circumstances. . http://econlog.econlib.org... Contention 4-Many religions There are many religions in the world. If God exists, it is only due to probability that you will be born into the right one. It was only probability that made my opponent born into a Christian family. If my opponent was born into Islam with an Islamic environment, father figures, and Islamic education, than he would have most likely stayed in Islam. There are so many religions that think they have the right answer. How many religions are there that make up the world in the status quo? 19: Christianity Islam Hinduism Chinese Traditional Religion Buddhism African Traditional Religions(Many religions in Africa that are extremely similar) Skims Spiritism Judaism Bahail Jainism Shinto Cao Dai Zoroastrianism Tenrykio Neo-Paganism Unitarian-Universalism Rastafarniasm You must have extraordinary luck to be born in the right religion.
