Proving God With Logic - Atheist Experience

A theist caller tries to prove God without actually having any evidence, using logic alone. Matt and Jeff point out that you need physical evidence, not just have an internally consistent idea.

I could argue that just because u feel it true and believe there is no god how does that mean you are right and you have the truth? and also the thought of believeing we evolved from monkeys and other animals evolve from other specias is false there has never been any proof of any anomal evolving into another animal have u ever seen a human form from a monkey? there are things u claim that cannot be proved either and just because u guys believ theres no god doesnt mean he doesnt exist.

@SpArKlIesXo I don't "feel" it's true that there is no god. I have insufficient evidence to believe that there is a god, so I don't believe. It's just the same as not believing in Bigfoot, fairies, UFOs, etc. because there isn't good enough evidence. If you can provide evidence for god, I'll start believing. Concerning your critique of evolution, you clearly have a twisted understanding of evolutionary theory. But the truth of evolution is irrelevant to the existence of god.

@SpArKlIesXo just because believing in god makes them feel good and gives them hope doesnt automatically make it true. thats like saying my imaginary friend comforts me when im sad so that means hes real. right? wrong.

@SpArKlIesXo just look what science did in the last 100 years ,now imagine what could of science done over 2000 years if they were given a chance,imagine the knowledge if everyone on earth learns about the laws of this planet,universe and they can think as one on the same problem for now on, maybe but just maybe they would be able to heal those kids too you might want to give em a try

Logic-only proofs only apply to abstracts; if god isn't abstract, physical evidence is needed. Sorry, Andrew.

There is no god you brain washed fucks!

@SpArKlIesXo We didn't come from monkeys. This is a common misconception about evolution.

The phylogeny indicates that we share a most recent ancestor with the chimpanzee. It's not a linear progression from the common ancestor, to the chimp, then to us.

It is a branching off from the common ancestor, which several scientific disciplines demonstrate through independent means (fossil evidence, genome mapping, biogeography, etc.). The evidence for evolution is very strong.

SpArKlIesXo..imagine if YOU could walk into a morgue large enough to hold all of the children under 5 years old that DIE every month on planet earth ..this would entail a morgue containing perhaps a half million little bodies ...NOW understand that the christian god has a MAJORITY of these little souls being ENDLESSLY tortured all day ,every day forever with butane torches because their parents were NOT Christians and thus these babies were NOT saved .shame on you AND your EVIL ,nasty diety !

[SpArKlIesXo]

I wonder if all you athiests could walk into a childrens hospital where they are dying from cancer and have so much faith in god because he gives them peace of him to handle what they are going thru and look them in thier eyes and tell them that there is no god..because these little 4 yr olds and up have more belief in a god and more sense then most of you adults they sing praises to god in thier beds in the hospital it brings them hope to keep fighting.proves kids have more sense then adults!

but let's not forget that most people hold all sorts of beliefs about the world that they have not examined logically and in terms of evidence. people believe in various ideologies, often without having any form of education in philosophy, economy, or history. religion is just the ultimate belief without a good reason, one that deals with things that aren't even supposed to be physical.

religion = mind poison
