If it could be proved no god exists

[ChristineM]

I wonder what would be the reaction of theists if evidence was discovered which proved beyond any shadow of doubt that no god has ever existed, and all faiths are created by humans?

There are several real evidences that no god exists or existed as depicted by the majority of religions.

Those evidences will rarely sway the faithful though because they have their own imagined evidences?

It'd certainly come as a shock to pantheists who would presumably then have to choose between denial and solipsism.

Actually, what I wrote doesn't disprove the existence of something but would identify it differently. r.

I do know the story of germs.

The ancients could hardly have been
more wrong if they tried.

Of curse you did not prove or disprove.

You are though saying that some sort of "it"
remains even though some agency other than
yourself did disprove it.

Makes no sense, but , if its what you think
it is what you think.

"Evidences" is a verb, ya swabette.

The "it" is not disproved, it's better understood. That's the difference. But the same applies, you think what you think.

Probably my dyslexia but i i meant it as the plural of evidence (noun)

The POINT of thread was that "it" had been
disproved.

If ya want a thread about renaming it,
go start a thread on renaming or
better understanding the ineffable and
undetectable "it".

Impossible to prove without omniscience of the known universe.

No, you have been too long exposed to the
grim and insufferable vice of creationism, the
creos being the ones who introduced that
stupid usable.

Agggggg, no, no, anything but (almost anything)

I suggest you re-read what I wrote, an attempt to disprove would not unequivocally mean "god" doesn't exist at all but is something other. Disproving the interpretation and discovering what it is are two halves of the whole.

you don't have to agree but don't tell someone what they can post. Leave that to a mod IF and when something violates TOS.

I suspect that they would just carry on with life as most of us non-religious do - having to work out all the moral issues for ourselves and deal with all the insecurities we necessarily have about life and all that - assuming they accepted the origins of their belief being what it was. Plus there would be the benefits of not having so many different religious beliefs to separate us - so - HOORAY - can't wait for it to happen.


As if!

Disbelief....

Evidence.

Well first you would have to prove it. But seeing no one can prove it or disprove it.
We're stuck with evidence without proof.

Even if "God" had no personal aspect, that which is "most high" must be referenced for things to work correctly/optimally -which is to say we would still need to obey "God". We would still need to revere God as described in the first few commandments so as not to lose focus on that fact. The latter commandments still would produce a wonderful world -breaking them otherwise. Maybe the seventh day sabbath would not specifically apply, but there may actually be something mathematically, physically, psychologically, etc., optimal about that, also.

God "is that is" -it just so happens that what is is aware that it is.

Also... If the most high did not have the ability to think, reason, plan, etc, there would not be one in a position to offer us a hand up, as it were, and make us immortal after 120ish or less years of personal human experience. Humans might self-evolve to the point of invulnerability and indefinite longevity, but it would be a slow, messy, horrible road -and would not benefit those who had lived before. The most high being able to "bare record" of the states of us all allows for resurrection.

That wasn't the point of the question I asked! I asked IF it could be proved beyond all shadow of doubt no god existed, how would theists react?

 

[Windwalker]

the world would fall into chaos because there would be no standard of morality.

This troubles me you believe this. Would you be a lawless criminal, violent and unpredictable, if you didn't believe in God? Is that the only thing holding you back from immorality and criminality? The fear of getting caught and being held responsible? Do people around you need to be concerned about you as a person, should you lose your faith in God?

If you answer you would not, then why do you assume everyone else would? I suspect this fear others would act that way, reflects how you see yourself, which is worrisome.

The "all faiths are created by humans" part wouldn't need omniscience.

atheists need to define god first. then they can 'prove' gods don't exist.
