@Esquilax, Read carefully,
*X is saying to Y that god exists.
*Y is saying to X that god doesn't exist.
*X asks Y if Y can prove that god doesn't exists.
That is shifting the burden of proof right?
What happened here,
*X is saying to Y that god exists.
*Y is saying to X that god doesn't exit.
*X supply logical arguments to support X's theory.
*Y should believe X if Y cannot disapprove X's argument
See,i'm not shifting the burden of proof.
Circle,Square etc are concepts that we've developed over time and these are concepts we have very keen knowledge of.Therefore we can be sure of their existence or non-existence(because we are entirely familiar with their idea).Moreover Circle,Square etc are not living things,they are ideas,ideas do not evolve by themselves.Living things can evolve to adjust with their surroundings.I don't know why you mixed these :/
I think that if it is logical to assume the existence of aliens then it is logical to assume that they may characteristics that are the same as the characteristics that are consistent with the definition of a "God".
As of many years back it was supernatural for a person in one end of the world to communicate with another person in the other end of the world.That is not the case as of now.
At present it is supernatural to be in many places at once,to talk with mind etc.
Teleportation is theoritically possible,human beings have just not developed any way to do this in practice.
Suppose a species in some distant planet solved the problem and many other problems which we believe are "Supernatural" then by definition they are god(with respect to our knowledge)but they are completely natural(with respect to their knowledge).They are gods to us.Therefore gods exist with respect to us.
Right?
Now,the way this argument should go is that you tell me aliens do not exist in the universe to prove that i'm wrong.Am i right?
Edit: But you cant actually prove whether aliens exist or not you can only be slightly agreeing with the probability of one of the ideas.Many smart people i know agree that about the existence of aliens and there are organisations dedicated to finding this foreign life.So according to me aliens do exist.
In general if you believe in aliens and support the theory of evolution you believe in god,you just don't know it yet.
This is what i think.
