[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="MetroidPrimePwn"]Too hot for a Gerbil to live on the sun :) IT would be disintegrated. Now why would you want to Disintegrate a Gerbil? :evil: The gerbil is immune to heat. As a matter of fact, it's invincible. Period.Prove to me that there isn't a gerbil in the center of the sun.

It's....Super Gerbil!
Someone who doesn't believe in something (God or otherwise) can't prove it. It's impossible to prove a negative. You can't prove the Easter Bunny doesn't exist either. Lack of proof for God's NON-existence is not a legitimate argument for the existence of God.Ok atheists, Im not here to make you try to believe in god because thats not my job but he does exist. But you dont believe that, so tell me where is you proof that he doesn't? Simple question right,so proof it?

Yes..yes.. of course you can. Because we have technology, but that isn't the point of this thread. It's God, it seems.. why do I even care, I'm not religious x.xI'm going to assume that you're a Christian, correct me if I am wrong though.
Anyhow show me how it's done by proving how Anubis, Osiris, Zeus, Apollo, Shiva, Odin, Ares, Athena, Tezcatlipoca, Tonatiuh, Horus, Cernunnos doesn't exist and I'll use your method.

I feel this is a flawed analogy as we basically know of the existence of all of those things by way of senses. Yes, our senses have to be enhanced by things like electron microscopes or such other apparatus, but it's still through the use of our senses that we know about them. I guess you could argue that we personally have never observed them, but we trust respected individuals who say they have.

No, it is a much more realistic thing to believe that some human who happened to be king was born. I think you deliberately tried to miss the point or else you just fail miserably. What would not be very realistic is if you told me that a dragon existed around the middle ages. And neither do I believe that.

as and when the technology exists to prove that god exists, i will believe in him.
But right now, at this point in time, the proof is not there that he does. with the help of technology or not, i do need proof.

I'm obviously not arguing that we should discount the existence of such things; I just don't like the so easily countered suggestion that because one cannot sense God then God may be assumed not to exist.

The fact that you're asking such a common, unsophisticated question shows that you're not very experienced in this kind of debate. The burden of proof is on the person claiming god exists. However, if you specify attributes of your god, there's a good chance many of them will be contradictory.

And while your logic is reasonable. I could tell you that there is a fruit that when you eat it, it will make you sprout pink gooseberries from your hair.
While you can't prove whether or not such a fruit exists, it would be irrational to believe such a claim without proof.
I am not saying you should not believe in god, i am saying that in my 28 years, i haven't seen, or felt anyhting that indicates the presence of a supreme being watching me, protecting me, loving me.

Also there is more historical evidence for the existence and activities of Henry VIII than there is for god, such as multiple documents from various sources that can be connected with other events that corrorborate the story and are similarly backed up by multiple documents. The Bible has nowhere near the amount of corrorborating evidence as other historical documents.

Don't forget the Gnostic Pleroma. Everyone's paired off, male and female plus they believe that the "god" that created the world is an idiot who thought he was the only one and created the world and humanity in an effort of folly. Oh yes, said god was also brought about because one of the lower female gods tried to procreate without a man.I really hate these kinds of threads... "Christians, prove that god exists, oh wait you can't, you have no proof." "Atheists, prove that God doesn't exist, because I say so."
Because the existance of a god is not reasonable. I simply cannot bring myself to believe in something that isn't real. I'd believe in Star wars before i believed in a god or ghosts or angels.
If someone believes in a god, then they believe something that can't happen can actually happen, which means they don't believe in reality.
I'm sure the idea that everything just appeared is totally reasonable though right?Because the existance of a god is not reasonable. I simply cannot bring myself to believe in something that isn't real. I'd believe in Star wars before i believed in a god or ghosts or angels.
