RE: lrh9 From atheistforums.com
God cannot be disproven because you can't prove a negative. So we can't KNOW that there is not a God ABSOLUTELY because God being completely intangible and undetectable in every way would look and feel (because he'd be completely intangible and undetectable in every way) exactly the same as if there's no God at all (in other words NO look and feel, etc, no sense - whatsoever). So you can't tell.

The point is not that there is evidence AGAINST God (there isn't) and whether he's disproven or not (he isn't, you can't prove a negative) but that there's no evidence FOR him whatsoever, no reason TO believe he exists AND - he's extremely complex and improbable by definition. He's ABOUT as likely as Zeus, the Tooth Fairy, the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Santa Claus actually existing!!

There are many things without evidence - but God isn't simply without evidence. He's also extremely complex to an absurd level and EXTREMELY improbable to an absurd level (almost infinitely basically - in practical terms) - there's no rational reason to believe he exists whatsoever.

He just isn't DISproven that's all. Because it IS a logical fallacy TO prove a negative. That's the negative proof fallacy - you can't absolutely prove the NON-existence of something.
