Man, this thread is getting nowhere super fast. So how about I post a proof that the "creator" God of the Bible, specifically, does not exist? I am choosing a specific deity for a couple of reasons. One, it is impossible to give actual evidence that all gods do not exist. It is extremely difficult, if you are arguing properly, to prove some vague concept of a god exists. If it exists it can be named. The ONLY reason to keep the particular deity vague and poorly defined is to keep from giving it too many characteristics, which makes the concept easier to shoot down, which is what Mariosep is doing. The more vague and confusing you can make it, the more difficult it becomes to prove that god, specifically, does not exist. Not that you have to, mind you. It's not true unless you can prove it. But I'm bored of 60 pages of posts containing about 2 pages of unique content, so I am going to give the evidence that the God of the Bible does not exist and, surprisingly, there is actual evidence it isn't real. I won't give all of the evidence (there is PLENTY, as I'm sure you all know), just a logical refutation.
1) If God exists, magic exists
The evidence - The Bible is littered with descriptions of magic, both of the type Christians refer to as "miracles" and the type not caused by God.
2) If magic exists, people can perform feats of magic
The evidence - In the Old Testament even people who were not faithful were capable of performing some magic, whether it be turning a rod into a snake or speaking with the dead. In the New Testament Jesus repeatedly tells his followers that they are capable of performing magic. Peter even walked on water for a short time until he was frightened by the wind. Even the faithful believe they are capable of doing magic "by the will of God" and man even believe in the magic of witches and Satan worshipers.
3) Magic does not exist
The evidence - All claims of magic fall into exactly two categories. Those categories are those which have not been proved to be true and those which have been proved to be not true. This is EXACTLY what one would expect of something which is not real and, in fact, is the EXACT same for every pseudoscience and lunatic fringe pet project. Bigfoot evidence falls into these two categories, UFO evidence, Loch Ness Monster evidence, vampire evidence, ghost evidence, etc.
4) Therefore, God does not exist

Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
