My Inquiry

[Mister Agenda]

Wow. Well, the entire forum is replete with arguments about this, so my advice would be to lurk and read through some of them. You'll find loads in the atheism and religious sub forums.

To be parsimonious and to the point, the most compelling evidence against a god (however defined) is the current lack of any evidence for a god. Remember, there is no onus whatsoever on the audience to disprove a claim when the proponent has no evidence in which to falsify. Rather, the person saying "there is/are a god/gods" needs something more than "because I believe it!" to make anyone take notice of their claims.

And that something, as a very minimum, would have to be something testable, verifiable, and repeatable. Maybe, just maybe, if those can be satisfied to a good degree, there is something worth investigating in the claim. Otherwise, there's a large scrapheap of god claims where it can be consigned.

Hmmm. And I suppose that would bring us back to the whole there is no proof for the existence of God but there is also no proof against the existence of God. Thank you for the advice on lurking, I will get right to that

We also don't have proof against the existence of leprechauns, unicorns, the boogeyman, or thetans. You've got your God in the category of 'could conceivably exist'. The number of things that could conceivably exist is infinite, 'could concevably exist' is not a valid reason to think 'actually does exist'.
