It's not necessarily even evidence for the claim.A claim is not proof if the claim.

Well “proof” is something subjective that depends on personal opinion, what counts as proof for you might not count as proof for me.My premise is that if God existed God would have to provide the proof because there is no way we could ever get to where God exists and get the proof ourselves.
If God existed would there be proof?
I am not asking if there could be proof or if there should be proof, I am asking if there would be proof.
Thanks, Trailblazer
- If God existed would God provide proof of His existence?
- Does the fact that there is no proof of God's existence mean that God does not exist?
- In other words, could God exist and not provide proof of His existence?
Look, formal logic is obviously a beyond you so, let's put it this way
A claim is not evidence for the claim. That would be circular reasoning.It's not necessarily even evidence for the claim.
Why do you think that if God exists he is expected to provide proof for his existence?Well “proof” is something subjective that depends on personal opinion, what counts as proof for you might not count as proof for me.
But yes if God exists he is expected to provide proof for his existence, so if you are an atheist that means that ether:
1 God presented the Proof but you ignore it
2 At some point in the future God will present such proof.
Like what, for example?
If people reject it because they say the evidence is not good enough, he obviously is not giving enough evidence for us to believe; if he did people wouldn't reject it, they would believe.
All the religions say they have "evidence", yet all believe something different. And now add Baha'is to the list that claim to have evidence that their prophet is from God and God is real. Then each religion gives "evidence" why the other religions are wrong.
Perhaps many, but not most. He should do betterHe gives enough evidence for many to believe.

Nope. Prove what I said is false.
You didnt respond to my post mate.
Like fulfilled prophecies...
...like design in nature.
there could be evidence for god despite it not actually existing.
Thats just made up.
Why would you say that? If God existed, it would be quite easy for him to provide evidence that he existed. If I can do it, a much more powerful God can do it too!Since we can't know what evidence of god's existence would look like, we wouldn't know it even if we encountered it..
The problem isn't God, it's us. We cannot comprehend what the existence of God would entail. So we have no idea what to even look for. You say "He" as if God were human, but there is no "he". There is no human, or gender, in any way that we could recognize. You say God could "do" this or that. But we have no idea what a "God deed" might be. For all we know everything that happens might be a "God deed". How could we tell?Why would you say that? If God existed, it would be quite easy for him to provide evidence that he existed. If I can do it, a much more powerful God can do it too!
Existence, itself, may very well be the proof that God exists. But we are not able to grasp this proof because we are unable to know that existence is the result of God existing.
The problem I see here is that it's likely that Moses is a fictional character and thus the stories of Moses are fables written by Abrahamics intended to further their faith.
