Why do some people say there is no proof God exist?

Question

abc3643 · Accepted Answer

Because there isn't.

It is not possible to prove or disprove the existence or nonexistence of any deity or deities.

This is because of a logical contradiction...

If a being exists in the natural physical universe, than to manipulate anything in that universe would require the being to be subject to physical laws of the universe. The being could not then be omnipotent (nor omniscient) being subject to the physical lasws of the universe. Furthermore, there would evidence of the actions that the being made.

However, if the being did not exist in the physical universe, the being couldn't interact with it and, thus, the being would be undetectable.

=======
That's some abstract crap right there. So, let me explain with an example of sorts...

Stevie Wonder is a famous musician who happens to be blind almost since birth.
Now, two other blind gentlemen argue, Reverend Greene and Professor Plum, about the color of the sky.
Reverend Greene says "The sky is green. It says so in my Holy Book."
The other says "The sky is mauve. It says so in MY Holy Book."
So, the two men ask Stevie Wonder what he thinks about the color of the sky.
Stevie, being a fan of Mr. Spock on "Star Trek", says "It is impossible for me to know what the color of the sky is. I cannot prove that the sky is green. I cannot prove that the sky is mauve. Indeed, I cannot prove that the sky is any specific color at all. Furthermore, being blind, none of us can prove what color the sky is or is not whatever that color is."

So, what color the sky is is whatever it is, but Stevie Wonder, Reverend Greene, and Professor Plum are incapable of perceiving color and so could never know.

We are incapable of perceiving anything outside of the physical universe. If deities exists outside the physical universe, we couldn't know it. Yet, if deities interact with the physical universe, then they are physical and not really omniscient/omnipotent deities since physical laws limit or govern their behavior.

Because only a moron would be blind to the fact that all of the "Gods and Goddesses" humans have invented look and act exactly like humans. What are the odds of that?

Because the Bible, written by a committee of men over thousands of years, can't be used as evidence that the "God" described in that book exists.

Because your "God" has never been proven to exist. Yet you take the word of con men who have been telling you they talk to this "God" and tell you what he wants. Strangely it's always what seems to benefit the con men.

So prove your "God" exists. Let's see some physical evidence.

No, the fact that the universe exists is not directly attributable to your version of "God" unless you can prove that cause and effect.
No, you can't shift the burden of proof onto Atheists as it's impossible to prove a negative with absolute certainty.

Because they are fucking retards who want God to conform to their subjective ideals.

The sort of fuckwits who will scream "I can't have cancer, I have just got a promotion!"

Yeah, the cancer got a promotion too, and the irony is lost on them.

Because you can’t prove God exists either physically or mathematically, as you can with most sciences. That’s kind of the point, as I understand it. If there was proof God existed, free will wouldn’t.

A book is not a proof, there is a lot of books, have you even met an angel? I sure didn't.

Because there is not. Don’t say that because the bible exists then god does. If that is the case then Harry Potter is real too 🤣

If you look for a proof then you can't find it. It's all about our belief and perceptions.
