The BlackSwordsman Disproves God

[Mister Agenda]

You are privileged to be reading this post. I am about to disprove God. What is that you say? You cannot disprove a negative? Well now, that is exactly what I am going to do. I am going to disprove the theory that a negative cannot be disproved.

Before we begin, I the BlackSwordsman have magical powers. I am typing this with my mind, and earlier today I flew around my apartment. I am serious.

Now I doubt anyone would believe any of what I said. You would say it's fake. Well you didn't see me do it, and you cannot prove I didn't right? Just like you cannot prove that god doesn't exist?

Well that isn't that true. See you know that humans cannot fly, you know we do not have magical powers. So you do not need to SEE it happen or not happen. I disproved god, by the same logic you debunked my statement. Logically you already know what can and cannot be done. So you disproved it without seeing it.

No, I didn't. An extraordinary claim should have proportionate evidence to justify accepting it as true, but not having such evidence doesn't prove that a claim isn't true. Although a negative can be proven in certain cases, by demonstration: I could prove to a bystander that no tangible and visible living creature weighing more than an ounce is living in the pockets of the clothes I'm currently wearing; or by logic: I don't need to show you that a creature such as I described weighing a million pounds and the size of a blue whale isn't currently living in the pockets of the clothes I'm currently wearing, because it involves a physical contradictiion. We know what can and cannot be done much more by experience and scientific investigation than by logic. Logic is no better than its premises, even when valid.

You know that unicorns don't exist, but you cannot disprove a negative right? WRONG you can, using what you already know is true.

Actually, I don't know that unicorns don't exist, I merely don't have a good reason to believe that they DO exist, but I have to admit exceptions: there are certainly animals that LOOK like unicorns, to one degree or another. It's not that unreasonable to infer that the unicorn referred to in the Bible was the Indian Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis), it certainly fits the Biblical description better than the modern definition of a 'horse-like animal with one horn'.

God has magical powers, Unicorns are mentioned in the bible, etc. you don't need any NEW evidence to disprove a god, you simply have to use logic.

That's what I think.

I get your point, but what you used to make it was not actually sound logic.
