No they don't.

They address this fallacy. What he is saying is basically that argumentum ad ingnorantiam is logical false.

That's the whole point of this thread.

First fallacy with your argument is, that for one, we all have more or less an agreed idea/definition of father Christmas and tooth fairy.
Second - those ideas have developed through ages. When they begun, they meant something complitely different - Father Chrismas is St Nicholas, and what the fairies are is not agreed upon, considering that they vary from originally being referred to as ghosts, sometimes angels, sometimes fallen angels and in different folklores as devils.
None of them exist, nor does the point that they mean something else make them exist. Devils and ghosts, don't exist, St Nick, probably, but a fat man riding around on a magic sleigh all over the world in just 24 hours? No. If you think that is in the least bit possible, give us evidence that suggests that. Oh, and while you're at it, give us evidence that it's possible to create a planet in 6 days.

I see what you mean here. This is just a guess, but I'm pretty sure Spear means his definition of God, IE the Christian one.

GOD is a philosophical question. It is not scientific. Repeat, NOT scientific. [/B]

I'd like to know what makes a question scientific or not.

Well, I don't find it unreasonable to believe that there are beings more powerful in this Universe. But I think you would have to elaborate what makes them deities in your opinion. Maybe answer a few question,

I'll try.

Im not sure exactly but they've been around alot longer than us or have always existed. They die but reincarnate (you know matter is never destroyed and all that jazz).

They can maniuplate time and space, for example a million years to us is like a minute to them.

Well lets put it this way, when you see natural phenemonon theres more going on than you think. For example you see a supernova but thats actually a god interacting with this world.

Let me put it this way. How do ants percieve humans? We cant say for sure but if a human being were to stamp his foot the ant might think its an earthquake. If a human being spills his drink on an ant hill he might think its a flood.

Originally posted by Bardock42

Do they leave scientific evidence when they do?

Well they create natural phenemonons but due to are limited perception we cant perceive whats going on. The same way ants may not really understand what a human being is.

Originally posted by Bardock42

Why should they be considered Gods and not just more powerful beings than us?

Nothing really, but because they are very powerful there are benefits in "worshipping" them they are like super relatives.

Originally posted by Bardock42

What is the source of their power? etc.

Belief. Humans not believeing in a god is like a virus. Belief in a god are like anti-bodies that keep the god fit and healthy. (Not an expert on biology but you see where im coming from).

Of course I cant prove that they exist without a shadow of a doubt but when you think of it it seems illogical to think they wouldnt exist. It also seems to me that the universe is infinite due to this beings like this most exist just due to probability. I was given the example that if you give infinite monkeys, infinite typewriters and infinite time they may not neccesarily produce shakespeare. This seems an illogical assumption because its seems to me infinite time by its very defintion creates all possibilites basically you have forever so it has to happen sooner or later.

Some people have seen ghosts does that mean because you have never seen a ghost they dont exist. Anything will be possible but that will depend on how science develops. When humans create computers that you can download your mind into reality will become subjective and absolute but we have nto reached that stage yet.

No, they saw what they thought was a ghost, until it can be proven as an actual ghost, it's not.

Well if several people see something that can be seen as evidence. If its just one person it could be his own private hallucination. The more people see the samething the more likely its true.

Also could you please define reality.

Reality is what exists within the laws of physics and exists due to those laws and has an absolute existance.

Example: Fire. Fire requires heat and fuel to burn. If it's not hot, it won't burn, or it's not fire.

It's not about people seeing it, it's about it being able to fall within scientific laws that make it exist. If it looks like fire, acts like fire, but there's no fuel, then it's probably not fire, but a projection.

This applies to everything, it's what seperates reality with fantasy.

Well, given an infinite amount of time everything that is possible will happen, given that there are not an endless amount of possibilities, I assume. Now there are a lot of things that we don't know though, is there an infinite amount of time? Are such being possible? If it had a starting point are we far enough up in time that those beings exist already? Are there also an endless amount of possibilities, meaning that not everything has to happen?

At least in this universe it seems to me logical to assume they don't exist.

Also, wouldn't your argument have to apply to Unicorns, Dragons and the Christian God as well?

And a last question, what do you base your assumptions on?

Look Bro at the end of the day its your senses that enable you to pericieve reality. No senses no reality, no electrical signals in the brain no reality.

Its not just about seeing things, if a group of people see and feel a brick wall it doesnt mean a damn thing that you cant percieve it. Whats so special about you that they're wrong and your right. Hell even the equipment you use to anaylse stuff is just you using your senses.

Sooner or later science will advance to the stage where electrical sginals can be altered. So what then? What do you think the opinion of reality will be? Reality is subjective because reality can be altered.

I'm not sure if I agree with that. You might not notice it as much but little commeents like the one you made about them being "man made" sounds like a declaration of fact. and a good number of them will directly say things like that or "there is no god." Since people do not always say "I believe" before they say something its usually taken as the norm that statements like "There is no god" are declaractions of fact rather than declarations of belief. This may be part of where there's a communication error... on my part at least.

Fair Enough. When someone says something with such conviction, it can be intepretted as someone speaking as if they know Fact.

However, there are no door-to-door Atheists. There are no pamphlets about converting to Atheism, there are no politicians declaring the non existance of God, and there are no Atheists evangelizing atheism unto the masses.

Yes, it is true there are books written which declare that there is No God, such as "The God Delusion" and there are Athiest clans online which publicly reject the idea of God and the Holy Spirit.

However, all this is a RESPONSE to the evangelism and imposement of Theists. Theists who do not keep thier beleifs to themselves, but rather enforce them upon others, with words of judgement and threats of Hell, should expect to recieve backlash.

I truly beleive that Theists have began the rift and war between Theism and Atheism. There does not have to be one, Atheists can learn to handle this in more intelligent ways, but Atheists have resorted to the same tactics as Theists.

Theists, however, did initiate this cultural conflict, and I'd expect they can finish what they started.

Okay.

I don't think so. I think either conclusion is just as logical or illogical as the other. as Both sides have the same ammount of evidence to support them. None. a lack of evidence for the other side does not support your side. Just as an atheist not having evidence against the existence of God is no support for the Theist, the other way is just as true.

So what about if there is evidense for something ? Would it be more logical to accept or deny ?

Originally posted by Creshosk
Well yeah, however a conclusion can be a fact as well... which.. as was said before... might be part of my error.

One's personal conclusion is what they choose to beleive. That is what I meant when I said conclusion. If something is fact, then to deny it is wrong.

Originally posted by Creshosk
neither is more logical.

Atoms existed before we had evidence of them. To believe that they did not exist before we had evidence of them is illogical.
Logic take a neutral position when there is no evidence.

We can't disbeleive something if we never heard of its existance, so that example may not work.

Also, Atoms have had scientific backing to promote the acceptance of thier existance.

The Christian-Judeo God hasn't.

I reject the Judeo-Christian God, because there's too many logical problems and contradictions with this.

However, I'm not Atheist. My beleif about God is different. I beleive God is the Universe, and encompasses all that exists.

To me God is the Mystic Law (Buddhism).

God is the Universal Mind- Refer to the philosophical Law of Attraction for more information on the matter.

To me that is God. However, I do not beleive God is a person.

Translation and Intepretation is the problem. No one ever has an agreeing intepretation when it comes to the Bible and Quran.

Like I said before, that is always a response to the Theist statement. Also, Atheists do not evangelize...atlteast no where to the amount Theists have.

They just dont want laws, culture, and customs to be defined by something they don't beleive in.

No where to the same degree.

the one claiming it as fact, be it atheist or theist.

Like I said before, Theists claim thier beleifs as Fact far more often than Atheists. On top of that, Theists insist on telling other people how to live thier lives. Atheists don't care what others do in that sense in thier own personal lives.

Re: Re: You Cannot Prove Zeus doesn't Exist

Originally posted by Bardock42
Hmm, true I believe. Though, I think it depends on what you define as Zeus, there are many stories about him that took place in our world, those can be proven or disproven scientifically, if you define Zeus as the God that did all that, you probably can disprove him, scientifically. Of course you could still say he made it so the rules of science don't apply, but that doesn't really change the argument. Just like a young earth/universe is scientifically disproven. Scientifically the God of the young earth creationists CAN NOT exist.

Yeah, that's about what I think of that.

That is true, it depends how you define Zeus.

If you use the definition of Zeus as a fictional and mythological character, then yes, Zeus exists.

If you use the lietreal definition of Zeus as true ruler of planet Earth, controller of thunder and lightning, who has his kingdom on Mount Olympus, with sons and daughters who are demigods..then no, he doesn't exist.

Then what do you make of quantum effects that require an observer for anything to occur? Observer-based experiments are the norm in quantum sciences, and directly refute the idea that "reality" is entirely objective.

Beyond that, it is entirely plausible (though, admittedly, unlikely) that a species could exist that experiences human fire as a smell, not a "touch" experience in the form of hot-ness. Similarly, no object, idea, event, etc. is identical for any two people. All of reality is a subjective experience, making certainty of any kind a lie. And no experience has any inherent quality (good, bad, baseball, football, smell, touch, etc.) until our mind assigns it one. All ideas and objects, then, are merely symbolic of the distinction we make of them within our minds and how we experience it.

Consciousness, I would contend, is the only "true" objective reality...entirely because of its subjective nature. All of existence has no meaning. We create the meaning, and it is far from absolute.

I am determinist, and thus believe that there are set causal rules that are followed, but that changes nothing of the subjective nature of experiencing those rules.

Reality is not how you see it.

There are hundreds of colors your eyes can't see, sounds high and low your ears cannot hear, and fields and frequencies of energy you cannot feel.

Reality is our intepretation of the universe. It is subjective, and only exists as how we intepret it.

Reality is what happens to us. If my current reality is an unhappy life, than it is because of my interactions with the world and with other people, as well as the nature of my thoughts, emotions, and actions.

The problem with your theories is, imo, that you can't prove a thing, not sure if you can put a likelihood on it either. I understand as a personal belief it is alright, but it just doesn't convince me, the arguments are not conclusive, imo.

It is not really that illogical. Also, Elephants are in a way more powerful. What is it you mean? We seem to be the most powerful on this planet with our destruction power. There might be alien life forms more powerful, but to assume that because there are weaker organisms there also must be Gods in the way you described it is not logical.
