Does God exist?
A simple yes or no question. Please answer "yes" or "no", and then explain your answer.
Thanks. |

Re: Does God exist?
No.
1. The universe is perfectly explicable without god(s). 2. There are hundreds of religions who all espouse truth yet contradict each other on every possible aspect of god(s) and the afterlife. Yet, millions or billions believe in each. It's easy to see how the concept of God was invented. 3. There is absolutely zero evidence of the existence of any god(s). 4. The concept of god is absurd when one contemplates the enormity of time and the universe. |

Re: Does God exist?
None of those should lead you to conclude that God does not exist, except perhaps 4. But I don't understand 4 anyway. It doesn't seem absurd to me.

Re: Does God exist?
No. There is absolutely no rational reason for me to believe he exists and so I don't, for the same reason I don't belive that my computer is actually a leopard.

Re: Does God exist?
I don't think that the burden of proof is on the atheist. But I also don't think that failing to come up with evidence for God is a reason to deny his existence, as many on this forum (in the past, importantly, DS) seem to think. And I certainly don't think you can produce a rational argument to conclude that he doesn't exist on this consideration. The inductive argument is as weak as it could possibly be; the sample size is 0.

Re: Does God exist?
It's impossible to know whether God exists or even to determine a probability thereof.
