When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?

[robvalue]

"God", when defined at all, is usually given properties so that it would be impossible to prove it doesn't exist. Wherever science is able to look, the theist will move God just a little further out of range.

There's no need to disprove the existence of things that haven't been proven to exist in the first place. We only have a limited amount of time before we die, and there are an infinite number of things that we can't prove don't exist.

To claim that something does (likely) exist because it's non-existence can't be proven is called the argument from ignorance fallacy. Its existence can't be proved or disproved until such time as a testable definition is produced. There is no way to assess the probability. This is the case with all unfalsifiable claims. And this is why they are useless claims. The person making them, by definition, can't have any scientific evidence either.

It's all moot to me anyhow. I don't give a rat's ass. I wouldn't give the subject any thought were most of the world not seriously caught up in the idea, and this regularly leading to various forms of harm.
