How can Atheists insist that there can't be a God because Science hasn't detected one?

The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!

Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.

The bible is what is called "Faction" A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!

There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!

There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!

At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god! He took the Jewish religion, organized it into Christianity and then into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely ITALIAN!

Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?

What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Jewish enemies by turning them into his invented Christianity - so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!

The first person to provide a shred of verifiable evidence for God will become world famous and mega rich!

So come on genius just that one tiny little piece of verifiable evidence?

Ain't happened yet and it never will!

So how does this primitive belief in a god survive? The answer is simple and very down to Earth

Acceptance of a supernatural claim tends to promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging this kind of behavior where the most intense social relationships occur it facilitates the lack of skepticism and deters more open minded thinking.

They are christian, Muslim or the other religions depending where they were born simply because they were indoctrinated by their parents as very young children. They will go on to indoctrinate their own children and those will go on to indoctrinate their grandchildren!

Atheists have the intellect to see through the conditioning and escape into the real world!

Agnostics have the intellect to see through the conditioning but lack the courage to throw of the conditioning entirely.

Sadly Christians, muslims and others are still held firmly prisoner by the self perpetuating brainwashing!

Because there is no evidence to suggest there is one. I'm not going to believe in something just because it might be true. That mean I'll have to believe in an infinite amount of things, such as fairies or leprechauns.

And the thing about a God is it's supernatural, it's a lot less plausible than the idea of bacteria or electrons would have been. And if there was evidence of God, I'm surprised we haven't found it yet, because essentially everything can be explained naturally. How come it hasn't turned up yet?

And anyway, most atheists don't say they know with 100% certainty there is no God. They say it's very unlikely.

You're making a strawman argument. Skeptics don't claim that there can't be any gods. Just that there's absolutely no reason to believe any gods exist. If something is undetectable, then that means that all claims about it are based on imagination. Making your god or gods imaginary.

Some claims about some gods can be tested, though. And those gods demonstrably don't exist.

Long before atoms were detectable, there was speculation that they existed. But the atoms described by Democritus were imaginary, not the actual atoms that we've since been able to demonstrate exist.

Speculation is the first step to discovery. But speculation is not evidence.

I just know one thing about that. The Bible was not sanctioned by an intelligent being. Why? There are hundreds of contradictions in the Bible.

• The Bible cannot even describe God without contradicting itself:

1. God is invisible and cannot be heard. -- John 1:18/ John 5:37/ Ex 33:20/ 1 Tim 6:16 .

2. God is seen and heard. --- Ex 33:23/ Ex 33:11/ Gen 3:9,10/ Gen 32:30/ Is 6:1/Ex 24:9-11 Jacob saw Him (Gen 32.30 Hos 12.4)

(Deut 34.10 Exod 33.34)

(Exod 24.10)

(Isa 6.5)

(John 14.9) ??

3. God is tired and rests. ---- Ex 31:14.

God is never tired and never rests. --- Is 40:28

5. God is everywhere present, sees and knows all things. ---Prov 15:3/ Ps,

139:7-10/ Job 34:22,21

6. God is not everywhere present, neither sees nor knows all things. --- Gen 11:5/ Gen 18:20,21/ Gen 3:8.

7. God is all powerful. --- Jer 32:27/ Matt 19:26

8. God is not all powerful. ---Judges 1:19

9. God is unchangeable. ----James 1:17/ Mal 3:6/ Ezek 24:14/ Num 23:19

10. God is changeable. ---Gen 6:6/ Jonah 3:10/ 1 Sam 2:30,31/ 2 Kings 20:1,4,5,6/Ex 33:1,3,17,14

Simple. If God is an all-encompassing, omnibenevolent, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent being who is the universe and created all things, there is no scientific way to measure and study Him.

There's nothing to not suggest this isn't the case. Any description by man, however, like the Bible, Torah, Quran, or even the Edyys, is flawed, as such is man, being flawed, to describe something that cannot be described.

We still can't technically see electrons, protons, or neutrons.

Apparently the physicists figured out they existed by doing it mathematically and by using logic. And, of course, experimentation. If the math points to God, then maybe things will change.

Most atheists who would say such a thing would actually be arguing that since he is undetectable there is no present reason to believe in him. Most atheists are empiricists. If there comes a time when science can detect him then they will have evidence to base a belief in him upon.

I have never even intimated something as stupid as that.

If the universe requires a cause, why doesn't God?

If God doesn't require a cause, why does the universe?

Gods are absolutely the most absurd thing ignorant primitives ever came up with to explain anything... seriously ;)

God is completely illogical... purely because of the 'who made god?' issue.

To suggest 'he' was always there is as silly as insisting 'he' exists at all.

Do yourself a favour – or not - watch this video from an actual physicist...

A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss

He explains quite simply how no god was needed.

You may not watch it because you may be too scared to even consider...

After all, god is imaginary ;)

Oh, and Pixie and Goblins and Elf and Mermaid are also imaginary... ;)

Yes, but people were not walking around PRIOR to the discovery of bacteria saying,

"This illness is caused by Bacteria."

"What's Bacteria?"

"Well, it's this invisible, undetectable thing that I BELIEVE is there - even though I have NO evidence to support this theory...Oh, and you should believe this also unless you can prove me wrong."

Now doesn't that seem silly?

You are correct that we have not been able to prove the existence god. For scientific evidence - some (but certainly not all) things have to be aplicable. The experiment or observation must be repeatable and falsifiable.

When you believe you have scientific proof of god, or creationism, that is repeatable a falsifiable, I am willing to listen to the evidence you present.
