Systematically Dismantling Atheism

[Aoi Magi]

I am confused as to what your definition of 'God' is? If it is a super-intelligent life form, what are it's attributes? And more importantly, what is the basis for speculating about it?

You see, the ideas that we consider as plausible aren't just random logical possibilities, rather these ideas are the best plausible explanations we have so far, which explains something about the universe, for which we do have evidence. So these ideas have some basis in reality, and evidence for their plausibility. For example, the multidimensional theory is accepted because it is a necessary part of the string theory. Also we don't accept that just because there is one 1d,2d,3d, there should be a nd, rather the currently accepted idea is either 10d or 11d max. These ideas had to prove their plausibility before the scientific community could consider them and that proof has to come from those who presents these ideas.

Currently your god concept is not considered because, it is not a clearly defined idea and it's plausibility has not been shown.




Next you need to understand that the scientific way of finding the truth by the process elimination is the correct way. Let's say you have a plate full of visually identical candies, now you taste one of them and it is sour. Can you conclude all of them are sour? they are identical visually, so at this point all of them being sour is a logical possibility, but there are other plausible possibilities as well like that one candy was an exception, or each candy is unique. So unless you eliminate these, you cannot be certain of the truth.
