Disproving existence of God 

This lady told me she believes in God because her child said he saw him. 😒

If "god" really existed, we wouldnt even be having discussions about this

Im a christian and watching this I realize that I'm more in a learning stance than an offended one. Alot of christians would be mad right now but I feel like im in a lecture.

there is always a flying spaghetti monster out there... ALWAYS

Title: disproving the existence of God. His Answer: I don't know.

When I was a kid, before I grew out of Christianity, I remember hating your channel. But now that I am grown up, I very much have a great appreciation for it.

There was a invisible unicorn there with you in the room... your thoughts created it, sure it still is just fictonal, but this fictional unicorn was there!

Christains always say that the bible is proof. then i go ok harry potter is a book i guess thats real too isnt it?

I think God is a purely human construct. Many eons ago, early humans stopped physically adapting to their environment and starting adapting the environment to their needs by creating things (shelter, tools, weapons, clothing). So early humans are designers and creators of objects, we have the capacity to imagine. So eventually humans think, who makes the thunder and lightning? who makes the sea? who makes the trees? Humankind is a creator, and because of this mindset we assume that everything was created by a consciousness- so we imagine the god of the wood, the god of the sea, the god of thunder and lightning. Eventually this polytheistic version is morphed in to the idea of an all powerful creator god and monotheism is born a few thousand years later. Humans survive and advance by making things so we assume that we have a maker. Maybe the universe wasn't made by an all powerful being with a fully formed ego and consciousness- maybe the universe just IS.

If he does exist, then he doesn't deserve our respect

I’m a Christian, and I enjoy watching your videos. People always think that Christians get triggered and start hating you because of what you’re saying, they should not be doing that. I myself don’t believe in evolution and atheism but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to like you. I don’t dislike your videos and I think you’re a brilliant and smart guy. People are always given the wrong impression of Christians because of many Christians who are not very good. I just want to tell everyone here that Christians love you and if anyone that says they are Christian and acts the opposite, they are not Christian. Real Christians love you and we don’t treat you like rubbish. I certainly don’t. Many of us don’t. I’m sorry to hear that a lot of people hear from the nasty fake Christians. Even I have and it makes Christianity look like something it’s not. But anyway, thank you for reading this. Have a good day! 👋

"Finding 'God', is like a blind man, in a pitch black room, looking for a pitch black cat, that isn't there. And finding it!"

one of my classmates said that he believed that if a person breaks an arm, leg or something else, and then pray to god, god would heal the broken limb, then i asked if i could break his arm so he could prove it. After that he said that i couldn't, and i said, "well then you have no evidence for it"

We know God does not exist because he is a character in a fictional book. To say I don't know whether god exist is the same as saying I don't know if Spiderman exist because I cannot prove he doesn't exist. God is a character in a book with a talking snake, a talking donkey , a book in which walking sticks turn into snakes and many other obviously fictional events .How can you extract a real person from such a book. If the world has a creator that creator is not God he is something else.We know human being write books and the bible is a product of human imagination.There is no room for being agnostic and say I do not whether God exists. Without the bible there is no God and the bible was created by man therefore man created God. God does not exist outside the book, hence no answered prayers.

I am a new agnostic atheist. I try to label myself as agnostic because I'm still fresh but you were very helpful and I'm so glad found your channel. Your way of talking is just close to mine and I find your videos very enjoyable. Thank you so much!

My conclusion so far is that people made religion so they can give answers about the things that they can't answer logically. And it's so hard for religious people to accept that because they rather think there's a higher power than start to think. Thanks for your videos.

"Jesus was standing right in front of me! and many others!" The mind has hallucinations too.

I too am an atheist. I love your videos. You are a very astute and intelligent guy. It's always interesting watching your videos.

'It's not up to me to disprove your delusions.' I like that.

I see this one attracted some curious Christians. That's nice.

If god were real, he would be an atheist. I mean, come on, what would he believe in.

To be honest, I´ve never really understood the relevence of this question. Is it not the very definition of "believing in something" that you actually have no physical evidence of its existence but believe in it anyway? I mean if you had hard evidence, would it not then become knowledge?

I'm in a catholic school and they all target me whenever I try to say something that goes aqainst Christianity they butt in and try to through some random shit that I can't understand

Ever so glad I "met" you online, you really speak to me. Finally someone who understands me

I hold to a belief that is in opposition to yours, but I would just like to say real quick that I like the way you argue your point. Unlike many people I hear you argued logically, and didn't just result to insult throwing. Very respectable.

My partners 11 y/o brother can do it in an amazing way. "If Jesus exists, why isn't he here giving me presents?"

In thousands of years from now if religion exists, they will still be saying Jesus is coming back.

Ur videos are amazingly profound, I hope more and more ppl see them. Don't stop making them, I love searching for new ones lol.

01:04 Actually, if you think about what happens in the world, arguemnts like this are totally destroyed. God doesn´t help poor, innocent children who are starving to death, but of course he helps me finding a parking lot. If you consider that, i cannot understand how any Christian could still believe they are so important that God helps them with their luxury problems.

I AM 12 BEING RAISED IN A CATHOLIC FAMILY I WAS SCARED TO NOT BELIEVE, BUT I WAS WRONG TO BE SCARED GOD AND THE BIBLE IS MAN MADE! THE CHURCH WANTS TO MAKE MONEY!!!! BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU WANT BELIEVE NOT WHAT YOU ARE PUSHED TO BELIEVE.

“If you take God out of the picture, my entire world functions the exact same way. So why throw something in there that doesn’t make sense” Perfectly said

It is impossible to prove something does not exist.

disprove unicorns, disprove santa, disprove the toothfairy. You can't, yet religious people like everyone else don't believe they exist! but when it comes to god it's the same situation, so why do people happily believe he exists but not unicorns?

I think most religious people know god isn't real. Every time I see someone trying to defend god, they get tongue tied and awkward. They try to say stuff that god has done for them, but I see them cringe as they try to believe their own lies. It's only a matter of time before the world is free from organized religion. Only a matter of time...

I was raised that way. To blindly believe and it's blasphemy to question. My experience in a "Christian" school, was pure hell! It was like brain washing and religion forcefully pushed on you by staff and simultaneously in the curriculum.

I like good fiction too, fantasy is a good thing. But i like reality more, that's why i don't like it when people insist their fiction is actually true, like religious people do. The Bible has proven wrong many many many times, beside that millions of people still insist everything inside their book is real, they are ignoring all the evidence and ignore reality

When god created the universe, it apparently took him three days for the earth, and one day for all the stars, galaxies and planets... I'm pretty sure that billions of galaxies would take much longer than it would take to make the earth

Hi. I just recently stumbled upon your channel. I'm happy I did. I've only been an atheist for almost 2 years. I was coming around to it a long time before that. I just watched a video of yours that said the internet makes it hard for religion. That is very true. The internet is a HUGE part of why I finally went from doubting to knowing which made my life a million times better. I've watched a few of your videos now and have subscribed. I'm going to continue watching because they are very entertaining. :D

WoW. This guy is really friendly.

Isn't it simple? If there were God and he helped the needy as stated by all theists, people would pay the 'priests' and 'Fathers' of the church and there would be no hospitals or such medical institutions. If one person believes in something, he's stupid. If many people believe in the same thing, its religion??? And if so, the term 'God' is a part of that religion.

If god is brave & almighty, he wouldn't hide & watch his followers defend him.

I have had the same exact conversation with someone a couple of years ago. It came very close to " word for word". Agree 100%.

Many thanks. Your comments are absolutely up the point, precise, concise and challenging. +++

Honestly I believe in a God but I can’t prove there is one, I just believe it and see what happens into my death, but I do believe in evolution.

When I grew up, I start to realize that God does not exist

I can never figure out why theist claim God would never prove he exist because we need to have faith - but then at the first opportunity claim God did this good thing - and that therefore proves he's real!

Some gods can be disproven in my opinion. The Abrahamic god, that is all knowing, all powerful and all loving is a contradiction. It is impossible to be those 3 attributes and yet allow evil to exist. Because of this, you can disprove some gods based on their descriptions. Like if I say "there's an invisible teapot orbiting earth" you can't disprove it but if I say "and it's made of 100% iron and 100% gold" then maybe the teapot is there, but _my_ teapot that is 100% iron and 100% gold doesn't. So it can be disproven.

OK, someone answer this for me: When something good happens, thank you god; but if something bad happens, it's my (or someone else's) fault, god had nothing to do with it?

Science tells us where we really came from.

That's what i like about scientists is that they're honest enough to say they don't know. But, they still continue to do research on the subject.

Could I have some help please? My friend recently said Stephen hawking said everything has a beginning, so something must have created that. I can defeat his arguments but I want to keep him as a friend. Thank you.

I guess I'm an anti-theist because I truly believe no gods exist.

👌💯FACTS!!!

Hement Metta, (I hope I got that right) You make a very good point I also am an atheist, I have been since I was 6 yrs old and nobody could tell me where "god" came from, BUT could tell me what he said, what he wants, and how he wants me to live. I put this together with "nobody" knows what happens when you die" and nobody ever comes back from death, and it became obvious to me at a very young age that all these people were doing were comforting themselves with folklore and myths and legends that had no bases simply because they were afraid of the "unknown"!!!

at my highschool, there is a group every year who meet at lunch once a week to discuss their Christianity. I'm considering starting a similar Atheist group, but I don't know if it's a grand idea, any thoughts?

Critical thinking atheists are about finding answers and not about giving answers. A lot of religions seem to be the polar opposite in that respect. That being true, isn't it really the responsibility of the religion give answers, to prove it's legitimacy, rather than the athiest's to disprove? (although they do try; bless 'em) The reason we haven't yet disproved any god's existence is because we are too busy finding our own answers. we get closer and closer every day; it might not be supernatural, but we know it will be right. That is exciting to me.

I think I may have accidentally proven that the Christian/Jewish/Muslim versions of God do not exist mathematically. All three of these versions define God in part as a being of infinite power who created the Earth. But it just occurred to me to ask, "How easy would it be for a being of infinite power to create something finite, like the Earth?" The answer to that would be that it would be too easy, literally, meaning that he couldn't do it because it was too easy. The reason is this: If someone's power is infinite, then what percentage of that power would be needed to create something finite? And the answer is simply: Too small. Even 0.000001% of infinity is still infinity when you look at infinity mathematically. So even if we ignored the fact that creating something of infinite energy would instantly create a black hole so dense that everything in the universe would already be inside of it, what would be created could only have an infinite value of energy. The Earth is big, but still finite, and to create a finite amount from an infinite power would require an infinitesimal amount of effort. Now, you could go on to say that God is infinitely subtle, since he would have to be in order to make something that is not infinite, but if God was infinitely subtle, he could use as much power as he wanted, and he still would not be able to make anything occur. I think an easier way to visualize this is to think back to the lunar landing. When the first astronauts were being trained to walk on the moon in a low gravity simulator, they had to retrain their muscles to be more subtle to compensate for the lower gravity, since using their normal amount of power for a step made their leg just go up and up and they couldn't complete the step. Now, if they had an infinite amount of power, then it wouldn't matter how subtle they were trying to be, they wouldn't even be able to complete one single step. And there you have it. Mathematical proof that the Christian/Jewish/Muslim versions of God are not real.

I have a question. Do you think that spiritual people (who believe there's something but don't believe in the religions) are ignorant just like the religious ones and need to be treated the same way? Do you have some opinion on them?

Someone at work told me science proves god is real..... I'm still waiting for him to supply evidence for that claim

I think we should respect each others beliefs and come to our own conclusions.

You seem like a very smart guy. I don't understand why you're dedicating so much time and effort to covering something you DON'T believe in. How is what you're doing any different than Christians talking about their disbelief in the morality of gay marriage? If you disagree with someone's beliefs or lifestyles, that's fine, but there's no need to try and change other people's minds. I believe you would be a lot more fulfilled dedicating your efforts to a cause you DO believe in.

What about taking out the theories of evolution, as well as quantum and classical mechanics? Or any other information from any "higher-ups"?

Good description of Planck length is the dimensions of the corner Hemant spoke of which god has been painted into .

Atheists want concrete evidence but God wants our faith. Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed. To those that believe in God no explanation is necessary, to those that don't believe in God no explanation is POSSIBLE.

thank you for being an example of humbleness The Atheist Voice :) I'm a Christian and I think the same way as you in this point We are all still figuring it all out.. let just walk step by step with our lives to find out about the truth. Why push your belief to other in order just become right?

I believe in God but not religion. We cannot see our conscience but some (not all) of us have one. You have one. God speaks to us through our conscience. He does not interfere as He gave us free will. You have a kind soul.

Although I am always greatly interested in this sort of discussions, I don´t actually think, anybody has ever gone: "Oh, i guess you´re right, now i´m an atheist/now i´m religious" at the end of one.

"I don't think you can disprove someone's belief" lol, this guy is hilarious.

I'm still thinking whether to be Atheist or Deist.

Interesting. Have you seen the Undoubting God website and videos?

not quite - actually as more we explain there is more out there what we can attribute to god. each explanation tends to open up more questions. "god does not play dice with the universe" a quote from a person who stopped questioning for 1 second.

That makes sense. Because I was LDS for 12 years as a convert. My life went back to being the same after I left.

Disproving God: A married bachelor cannot exist. An omnipotent God can create a married bachelor, therefore God cannot exist. If your rebuttal is "but God can change the laws of logic blablabla" the problem is that proof is a logical concept and thus can only exist within the realm of logic. Existence is also a concept that occurs inside the realm of logic (as you need logic to distinguish existence from non-existence). Changing the laws of logic lies outside the realm of logic and thus we do not need to take it into account when we prove something. This sort of proof would be accepted in mathematics (proof by contradiction) and is actually more powerful than any proof involving the physical world. BUT does that mean God does not exist? I am 100% sure God does not exist and it is impossible he exists but he can exist. This is because 100% sure and impossible are all logical concepts defined within the realm of logic, where God cannot exist. If the laws of logic somehow are "changed", then God can exist, but not in any definition that we can understand.

I would like to go into an in depth discussion on this with you. I'm an atheist and I've put a lot of thought into this really. And i thibk i have a lot of ammo some might not have considered yet, so I want to share it.

This is very confusing on many philosophical levels, but I saw a quote by Christopher Hitchens where he said "“What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.", and I was thinking, could that statement be proven... or not? As you can see, I've gotten into lots of circles thinking about this. Could the only way proof itself exist is if there is possibly some sort of God that created all these rules and logic in the universe? Basically, what I'm wondering is, could we prove proof... And in general do the rules and laws of logic of the universe exist within the universe or are they created by man or even a higher power like God?

Man was not created by God, God was created by Man

"Disproving existence of God"? Impossibilities like that don't concern me.

I think "God" is a human construction to fill in the gaps of what we couldn't explain years and years ago. Now with modern science and understanding we can give answers to the questions we once used "God" as and explanation for. As science develops we will answer more of these questions "God" is used for until religion adapts into something new.

I have watched a few of of your videos, most of them on the playlist atheism explained. Overall they are well done, though there are some areas in which I feel like you need better explanation as far as the reasoning behind some of your statements. But I thank you for making these videos they have helped me understand atheism better, or at least your view of atheism. I am a theist, a believer in God, more specifically Roman Catholic. At this point I am not wanting an argument in an attempt to prove God, because I feel that it would be too difficult and frustrating to do over the RU-vid comment section. My major question for you is what do you mean by evidence, you mention not having any evidence to prove God's existence, but in other video's you talk about critical thinking which I would say goes beyond empirical or scientific evidence. After acknowledging that not everything empirical or scientific is I would say that it is possible to logically prove God, or at the very least make way for the probability of God's existence. So once again what do you mean by evidence, is it purely empirical or what does that evidence need to contain?

If it's wrong to say there's no such thing as God, then it must also to be wrong for a parent to tell their terrified child that there's no such thing as the Bogeyman.

Humanity has looked for 2014 years or longer. Not as smidgen of proof over all that time should tell you something. (...) Head in the sand anyone?

To Everything Nick...... God has faith, He believes in us. Did He not have faith in us to send His one and only Son to die for us? Do you think a Omniscient God would do that knowing it was of no value?

You said you've put God outta the picture. What did you put instead of Him?

You're absolutely correct in everything you say (exept for the name of the website wich I do not know, that may be corect to). But the title is misleading. When I saw it I finally thought "Wow! Someone has actually found a way to prove good diesn't exist". But I was wrong, because it's impossible at the moment. Great video anyways! A thumbs up from me.

You said that atheism doesn't mean disproving God but all of your videos are you trying to disprove God.

@Hemant Mehta If Darwin's evolutionary theory is correct, which came first -- the male or the female sex?

Hemant...You are just amazing! I am a gay Atheist who resides in Chicago. Are there any Atheist groups in the Chicago area you are affiliated with? I would love to meet you! Love watching "The Atheist Experience" podcast out of Austin Texas and wish we had something like this here in Chicago. Thanks! Glenn

Hey - I'm a Christian, and I just wanted to say that was a very fair, and reasonable argument. I believe in God because because he has revealed himself to men, and proved his power over nature by the resurrection at Easter. This is an event noted in history. But I also believe there is a first mover of the universe. You mentioned the question of where the universe came from, and I would ask that you investigate that question further. Ok, so there might be theories, or even one day proof, of the events that brought about our universe. But what made those events happen? Why is anything happening at all? Existence is self-proving. That something is in motion is self-proving of the fact that something set it in motion. God is the first mover. God is existence. I think any reasonable atheist should at least be able to follow the logic of this argument (I probably did not articulate it very well). Another argument I like to use for the existence of something other than the physical world is the reality of the moral (or natural) law. Where does this come from?

Mr. Hemant Mehta, one of several reasons the Psalmist David may have said, “ The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God,” (Psalm 14:1, 53:1) is because it is impossible to prove a universal negative. There are other possible reasons for his statement as well. For example: “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE,” (Rom. 1:20) my emphasis added. In short, most rational people admit that design (in nature) requires a Designer (of that nature). Congratulations on your enlightenment to the fact that you cannot disprove God's existence! Was your enlightened understanding on this issue couched in mocking resignation? The late Dr. D. James Kennedy stated that it is impossible to prove a universal negative. If you are mockingly implying that a universal negative always is made about something unreal, I have news for you: it is possible to create a universal negative about something that is real as well as about something which is unreal! The issue is, does something unreal possess the same qualitative type of evidence for its existence as something which is real? As an example, while a flying spaghetti monster is unreal, on the other hand wind, microwaves, radio and TV signals are real. What kind of evidence does an unreal spaghetti monster have for its existence? On the other hand, what kind of evidence does the wind, microwaves, radio and TV signals have for their existence even when they cannot be seen? The answer is that real things have qualitative evidence for their existence which unreal things do not possess. To place the existence of God into the same category as a flying spaghetti monster is a category fallacy based alone on the type of qualitative evidence we find for God’s existence (like hundreds of fulfilled prophecies in the Bible, many of which have come to pass just in the last century, and many more are presently on the verge of complete fulfillment). To make an understatement, the qualitative evidence for God is obviously superior to the evidence for a flying spaghetti monster, which is why the overwhelming majority of intelligent and intellectually enlightened and intellectually honest people throughout history have preferred theism to atheism. Hebrews 11:6 states , “… for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” To know God Hebrews 11:6 indicates several things: 1. A person must believe He exists. 2. A person must have concluded certain things about His character (He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him). 3. A person must respond to evidence about God (a person must “seek” Him). In your fifth of 15 things people “should never say to an atheist,” you answered Paschal’s wager in a partially irrational manner. You stated that if you are wrong, “… Nothing is going to happen to me.” You could only state that if you have constructed your own god. You appear to be implying that if there is a God, that god will not be concerned either about being recognized or ignored, nor about being either mocked or honored by his creatures! That approach appears to indicate you have manufactured your own god (idolatry) in your backup plan just in case you are wrong. That is an obvious miss about the character of the real God discernible through the “Bible” of nature (“… he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him,” Heb. 11:6). That rationalizing approach also seems to be indicating that you are claiming, “If there is a god, I am not afraid of the god I have created or hypothesized.” “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” (Psalm 111:10). You claim you are being honest, and that you do not believe. Are you certain you are being honest where it really matters, with yourself? Or are you holding a delusion, and are you lying to yourself for whatever reason? With someone as open about your atheism as you are, I suspect you have already heard more than enough compelling reasons to believe. Perhaps you do not feel you have a need for God? You stated your life would be the same with or without Him. Then I have some advice. It has been said, “There are no atheists in foxholes.” It may be that in some personal crisis experience you will one day realize you really do have a need for God. If that happens, all you have to do is accept His freely offered gift of eternal life given through His Son (John 3:16).

The concept of god likely evolved from the mystery of death. The ancients must have wondered ; "How is it something/someone is alive and then they aren't alive". There must have been a lot of fear (as there is now) associated with nonexistence and death. So how do you resolve those mysteries and concerns? You make up a situation where death doesn't really happen. You invent a soul (spirit), afterlife and then a god to control it all. It puts the mind at ease. Personal death becomes less of a daily concern and the loss of loved ones less painful. When you think of it, it's a great relief....you might say a blessing. But that doesn't affect its truthiness. God and spirits and the afterlife are things humans made up. If they weren't causing death and destruction on a daily basis, it might even be a good thing.

Sir do you believe in ghost ???if u see one is't gonna change if dont believe in god...whats your explanation if ghost exist and god is not...tnx sir hope u reply

It's ironic that you would try to diminish the quality of ones life to better suit your own, considering this is what you feel Christians do by evangelism. I agree that some christians get it wrong. A lot more than others. However, don't ever let the actions of a few, reflect the entire populous. Some of these Christians come from a place of crazy love. Love is foundation of what Christianity is about. Unfortunately those Christians who follow their own agendas instead of God's, diminish the merits of this religion (and the people who do it right) for people like yourself. I respect your beliefs and will never say to you, "you gotta accept Jesus Christ as your savior or you're going to hell." Because truthfully, These Christians are in more danger of this fate than you. My job, my role in this body is to just present you with the information. I cannot change a man, for I am only a man, But it is God's job to change you. If I try to, I act as God's mouth, and turn you off from me AND Him. But the two commands God gives us that are greater than any other is "Love your God, with all of your strength, heart, and soul. And to Love your neighbor as yourself." If you satisfy one you will also satisfy the other. Unfortunately, this principle is lost because people cherry pick the rules that they feel like they agree with while omitting others that they don't. Herein lies the problem. I'm sorry for ranting, but a lot of Christians who do good for others to serve God, don't get a fair shake because of those who do it wrong. It's like saying all black people are killers and thieves. Or all Muslims are terrorists. It's just not true.

Every time you say the word, "Christian," why are your teeth gnashing?

But wouldnt that be considered agnostic? I thought agnostic was the disbelief of religion but not knowing whether there was a higher power or not. Higher power as in someone did create us, but it is very unclear on who or what did and that is where science comes in. Am i wrong? If so... how exactly would you define agnostic? i have looked up many definitions but i am still unclear as to what is the closest to agnostic. I want to know what the people think. Not wikipedia.

Hi Hemant how do you know God is out of the picture? You say that your world will be the same without God? How would there be even a Hemant or even a world without God? What exactly is your belief that explains the universe? Whatever it is you seem compelled. Please share.

It could be great if god appears... but to bad he doesnt exist

Every knee shall bow"

Oh man, It took me about 17 years for me to become an atheist. I quited this thing called religion about 1 year ago. I was raised as a christian , my parents are both very religious . they forced me to go to church every week , but i also tought i was doing the right thing. I really belived in what i was doing.My parrents think of me as a rebel , as im to young and that may be age-related. That did teach me one lesson, How easy is for people to be manipulated , to be decived and all that under their own nose , with their own acceptance . I find it very similar to Comunism (I'm from Roumania(ex-comunist-country)) , and other brain washing theoryes.

You can disprove god by attacking his traits Like the problem of evil or if he is omniscient and he knows his future, can he use his omnipotence to change his mind. See, now he lost his traits and that can prove that he doesn't exist.
