Professor Peter Millican | God does NOT exist 

Prove me that God doesn't exist?.

@@user-ci9te3yt6t 1) god does exist. In one form or another under the roof of your skull and there he should reside and be protected because once he leaves these very limited surroundings he is bound to dissolve in thin air 2) you never asked for evidence to belief in god to begin with so you can only care even less in proof of his non existence 3) disproving the existence of a non existing entity would be a nonsensical undertaking without a limit. You can’t ask me to disprove the existence of the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, Father Christmas, pixies, elves, trolls, goblins or god. 4) you believe in a celestial wizard so the burden of proof rest on your shoulders

It's funny since this comment reminds me of many people who believe Earth is flat while trying to prove that it is.

Your inability to comprehend the existence of God does not disprove God. It only illustrates a lack of understanding on your part.

Welcome to determinism and ultimately nihilism. You now have to label things like love, hate, good and evil as mere human conventions. Good luck with your humanism. Wouldnt it benefit humanity if we got rid of say 5 billion people? Why not? Maybe hitler was on to something with his eugenics, would'nt the human race benefit in the long run? Why should we take care of the sick? I mean they are the weak and should not survive according to your darwinian materialism.

@@elroyfudbucker6806 no, he's being satirical by taking it literally, which isn't wrong. Jesus's resurrection was not unique since many people were making the same claims, thus it's a common and boring if it's all true. lol

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ IS the Proof of His Sonship of God the Father... It was Prophecied many times in the Old Testament that He would die and rise again... Jesus Himself, told His disciples 5 times, that He would rise again after 3 days... When this came to pass accurately, He showed Himself alive to over 90 people... Even Thomas one of His disciples, didn't believe He would rise again.. But, when Thomas saw Him, he fell down and worshipped Him... The Resurrection is an established fact of truth...

you should watch the debates of Dr Ed Feser and Dr William Lane Craig about God in which they debate against atheists and although the videos are long and advanced it's worth it; they change many opinions and prejudices that atheists and agnostics have about Theism, with those debates I realized that the defense of God is much stronger, rational and deeper than even I believed. They show how it’s totally possible to be rational, analitic and at the same time defending God's existence. And the reason why specifically the Christian religion would be the true one is because of the resurrection which is almost a historical fact, you can watch debates about it and see how the defense of the resurrection of Jesus is rationally strong.

Happy for you !

@Jubei Yang "How do you know that it is evidence when you have not seen?" I see a tree bending, leaves fluttering. That is the visible evidence of unseen wind blowing. It really is just that simple. The idea is that you probably do not see God, but you can see the *effects* of God. The problem of course is discerning God. For instance, someone might have a string tied to the tree making it move and flutter, and it wasn't the wind. Sometimes the *evidence* isn't entirely conclusive. In this context, one *hopes* for salvation or eternal life or even just a bit of happiness in this life, and the hope is sustained by some evidence which everyone can see but which you interpret as signifying the existence of God.

@Jubei Yang "Are you that stupid?" *NO* (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines ). Now if you were to quantify exactly what level of stupidity you mean I could give you a more nuanced answer. "you see the effects of the wind so the same applies to God?" yes, that is precisely so. At least you understand the analogy. You cannot see gravity, only its effects. You cannot see electricity, only its effects. You can see only a relatively narrow range of wavelengths, 400 to 600 nanometers (more or less) all other wavelengths are invisible to your eyes and senses but you can see their effects. Wind is moving air, its effect is manifest only when something *resists* the moving air and as a result energy is transferred from air to object, or in the case of a fan or blower, from object to air. So it is that God can presumably both accept and source energy; but how you *interpret* that energy is unpredictable to me. At any rate, it should be obvious that it is impossible to say that this is not so, that there is no God; for you have little or no idea what is the nature of that interaction, and if God chooses to not interact with you, then for you he does not exist or might as well not exist.

​@Jubei Yang Contemplate for a moment two goldfish in a bowl or aquarium. One is trying to persuade the other of the existence of "water". The second says, "There is no such thing as water, prove it to me!" How is that to be done? It cannot be done; for both fish have been in water their entire lives and consequently don't even have a name for it. There is no boundary condition by which to detect it. But the first fish leaped out of the tank and was quickly rescued by something with five fingers, who the first fish named "god" but was Billy rescuing his pet goldfish. At any rate, the experience showed the fish the existence of NOT-water, by which the existence of water was bounded and defined. So it is that many people live in constant contact with God their entire lives not once realizing the nearly omni-presence, and if it was entirely omnipresent then nobody would detect it. But occasionally someone steps out of the light and perceives the darkness, and on perceiving darkness, also perceives light. Now between you and me, what exactly do you mean by stupid? I who see more things than you, or you who are blind? You are correct; my enhanced sight makes me more responsible for my decisions and actions; your limited vision somewhat excuses your choices because you cannot choose a thing you do not see. For that you are excused.

​@Jubei Yang You must be one of the goldfish." Yes, and so are you. "You meant to say that God can be felt, touched, smelled and seen?" Yes, if he wishes it. you either have to go where he is, which is difficult to impossible, or he comes to you, which is possible but rare. "Even the goldfish see the water, feel it, smell it and swim in it." Water cannot be seen from the inside. I am a SCUBA diver among other things. What you see is not-water (dirt, fish, plants). You feel it but will not have named it "water". It simply *is* whatever it is and doesn't need a name. Have you named the baryons in which you swim right now? Probably not. "Where's your God?" Where ever he wishes to be. I am not his secretary to know where he is right now. "Can you feel him, touch him, see him, and smell him?" I can if he wishes it. Feeling is the easiest, next after that is seeing. Touching is extremely rare and I've never yet met anyone mention smelling him. That would probably be a sign of not-God. You have repeatedly failed to mention "hearing" which is the most common reportage regarding God. I shall include it for completeness. "You are even more stupid than your goldfish" Thank you for this opportunity to demonstrate my politeness as compared to your rudeness. "because the goldfish understand that they could not leave the water." So you are a "goldfish whisperer", knowing the thoughts of goldfish. That's interesting.

​@Jubei Yang "You are more stupid than the goldfish." Seems like I've encountered those words before. Oh yes, your previous comment! It didn't work then. Perhaps it will work now. "When the water recedes and the goldfish cannot get oxygen from the water, it struggles to breathe." Ineed it does. "When its body is exposed to air, it knows that death is not far away and it will swim to deeper water." I think that *knowing* is an exaggeration but yes, it will instinctively seek out water more to its liking. "Goldfish are not stupid like you." Perhaps. But who are you conversing with and what does that make you? "Your God is omnipresent but you can't see, smell, or touch him." Well, mine isn't omnipresent. Your mileage obviously varies. "When I push your head understand water and you struggle to breathe, no God to help you!!!" I expect as much. He's more of a scientist; observes human beings, doesn't interfere much. "There's no God to save you." Agreed. I do not expect God to save me from assassins. What he is much more likely to do is to alert me to their presence. Gods do not save humans. Humans save humans. I should advise that I use the word "God" in a somewhat generic manner to mean any of many possible metaphysical agents that have the power to inform me of things. It is also likely that what you believe "God" means is different than what I mean by it; which is what makes these conversations so entertaining.

***** I’m not worried about that; I’m worry about what theists are doing to our kid’s education. In 800 AD the intellectual center of the world was Bagdad. All the advances in engineering, biology, medicine, mathematics was there. Our numerals are called Arabic numerals. Arabs invented Algebra, Algorithms is an Arabic name, etc. They were advanced in astronomy, 2/3 of the stars have Arabic names. But something happens in the XII century, science was replaced by revelation and religion stupidity, this people leaders in science, nº 1 in science are now on the bottom of the list, and they haven’t recover since. This is what religion does. In the 50s, a new leader in science was born, the united states of America, now the leadership is threaten by the same religion stupidity, if we don’t do something we are going to go back to the 19th century, we are heading to the bottom of the list thanks to religious beliefs. That is why people like Laurence Krauss, Neil deGrasse Tyson and many other bright science are fighting against theism. That is why religious people don’t understand the arguments of Atheists; they have a very narrow view. Another thing that religious people tend to do is lie, and believe their own lies: You said that there where more atheist in that debate, how do you know that? Perhaps revelation? The debate divides the house in two, one side for the motion and the other against. If one side of the house won is because people in the other side vote for their motion. Check the Oxford Union debate rules.

***** What undiluted rubbish - the theists won! What utter piffle, what utter divorce from reality - which is of course a definition of a 'believer'.

***** Theists haven't come up with any new arguments forever. Atheists are crushing theists intellectually. Sorry, but asserting that the theists had the best arguments here is just wishful thinking. Religion is flailing...and dying. It's happening fast now. It's good.

Actually,@Tim H Horatio's "philosophy" to which Hamlet refers is that which we call science, and Hamlet is wrong but it's a good play and couldn't exist without the "ghost" of Hamlet's father. Literally, philosophy is love of knowledge. The brilliant physicist William Thomson, who was knighted and then raised to the peerage as Lord Kelvin, was professor of "Natural Philosophy" at Glasgow University. Properly interpreted, Natural Philosophy is NOT some vague speculations that happen to occur to the holder. Horatio's "philosophy" was exactly that, the love of the knowledge of the nature of Nature.

I just want to let you guys know that praying is not the same as wishing. God is not the same as a Genie. Not just because you pray that it will make things better for you. Not just because you strive to be a good person that you will never suffer. Faith in God is to suffer and still love HIM. To be thankful despite our sufferings. Not just because you don't get what you want that He does not love you. And sometimes, the things that will make you happy is not what you need or at least what you think you need. Everything happens for a reason. And overcoming all materialistic ideals and selfishness you will be able to experience miracle from Him.

ARakaLordBrilliant Assumption is the only grounds of which atheism has to stand on this being a primary example. You decided what God was and when he wasn't that you denounced him. The difference between you and me is that I let God tell me who he is rather than me telling him who he is.

"If you know something is unlikely or implausible... then you don't believe it" Is the formation of a complex multidimensional expanding universe (possibly multi-verse) following laws of physics and containing an infinite amount of truth, beauty, and love to be discovered out of a formless void implausible or unlikely?

The fact you can doubt all of human knowledge is not evidence that humans don't know anything. It's an assumption one can make. Doesn't mean it will get you any closer to the truth, it will actually keep you in a perpetual state of doubt.

​@TR13400 My argument was of you think something is implausible, you don't believe it by default. It is true of pink bananas, jackpot winning lottery tickets, expanding universes full of love and omni gods. The more implausible, the greater the corroborative evidence you should require to believe.

​@@TR13400pretending to know things is not knowing things. We only know stuff by assuming we know nothing and then working from observations, experiments in the light of theories, which may or may not be disproved.

@psychologicalprojectionist I completely reject this entire comment. Just because you think something is implausible that doesn't mean it didn't happen or can't happen. I also reject Carl's Sagans slogan of extraordinary evidence. All truth claims have the same standard of evidence to me, proven beyond reasonable doubt. What I actually believe is different, because we have a subjective experince and we require faith to believe in anything. There it falls on what evidence you believe is most reliable.

you should watch the debates of Dr Ed Feser and Dr William Lane Craig about God in which they debate against atheists and although the videos are long and advanced it's worth it; they change many opinions and prejudices that atheists and agnostics have about Theism, with those debates I realized that the defense of God is much stronger, rational and deeper than even I believed. They show how it’s totally possible to be rational, analitic and at the same time defending God's existence. And the reason why specifically the Christian religion would be the true one is because of the resurrection which is almost a historical fact, you can watch debates about it and see how the defense of the resurrection of Jesus is rationally strong.

@@danielsanabria6770 Dr William lane Craig is a phony. He has mentioned before that nothing could shake him out of his position no matter how much evidence you brought to the table against him.

The problem is not and has never been having faith versus using logic, it's illogically believing a specific religion is correct. I believe that there could be something after this, but everyone who thinks they know the answer here on earth is full of shit. Every single religion, be it Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, etc. etc. is full of shit. They are lies constructed to make people feel better, and more importantly to draw them together as a community.

Brian MacLeod I disagree. Since "faith" is the accepting of ideas without evidence, and sometimes against all available evidence, I think it's safe to say "faith" *is* the problem. And religion is primarily used to control the masses, and a secondary effect is the cultural bonding.

Rand Huso I'm using the term here in the context of faith in some sort of life after death.

If you can answer these childish questions I will be your disciple . Why are we here ? What is the meaning of life.? Is there life after death ? What happens to you after you die.? Who will spend your wealth after you die? Would he be a fool or a wise man ? Would there ever be any justice for the millions of the innocent people that Atheists such as Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler murderously slaughtered ?

Zion Bound You're kidding, right? You know perfectly well that Adolf Hitler was a Christian. And that wouldn't matter anyway, because atheism is simply a lack of belief in that which isn't demonstrable. It has nothing to do with morality or how a ruler deals with his minions. I see no evidence for an afterlife. Therefore most of your questions are meaningless. You have no evidence for an afterlife, even though you claim to be "zion bound". You think that some part of you exists without your body, and yet we know of only 4 forces in nature, and none of these would apply to your "soul". And if your brain is damaged, so is your memory, your morality, your temperament, and everything you think of as yourself. You haven't demonstrated the existence of a "soul". Man! I'm glad I don't believe all that bulls**t anymore! Find some evidence (yea, I know it's impossible for you to find evidence) and then come back to the discussion.

Love this quote.

Sarah Kern you read the quote backwards

Have you ever read the Bible? If not then your questions are kinda funny lol because it answers them. Let's accept the premise God is all knowing. Wait. just think about if he knows everything how are we going to every comprehend him at all lol. It logically makes no sense to try to understand a being that's literally beyond all human comprehension.

Called free will. We turned from God because we give into the flesh and sin. Our wicked ways are what separates us from God, yet He still Sacrificed Himself on the cross because He loves and desires a relationship with us. We have the choice to choose the truth which is God, or evil which is of Satan. If God didn’t allow us to have free will to choose, what would be the point of it all? He wants us to choose to love Him. Though we are sinners, we are made new in Jesus Christ because He is the atonement for our sins. We are now justified in God’s eyes. He does not know sin (He isn’t a sinful being, only Holy). Yet we chose to go against Him and He still gave His only Son for us all so we may be His adopted children and inherit the Kingdom of God. We made this world evil by choosing Satan and sin, but not God. God promises those who don’t believe or have faith/repent that they will be damned to eternal Hell, away from Him. But that’s their choice. Why would God force someone to live with Him in Heaven for eternity? Those who do terrible things and don’t accept Christ, devoting to their lives to Him,will also be sent to Hell because He is a just God.

Think about it from God's point of view. He knew he would have to suffer and watch others suffer as well but he also knew some people would inherit eternal life. Even if one person besides Jesus got eternal life God's goal would accomplished. At least that's how I think about it if I'm wrong please let me know

What did i just read? Did you write this while being high? Please give me what you are smoking

You are so right. God does exist! Undoubtedly! Under the roof of your skull where he resides and should be protected by all means because once he leaves these very limited surroundings he’s bound to dissolve in thin air :)

Akshay Rathod Start taxing the atheists and they will start questioning their “atheism”.

depends on the believer.... however, in their heart there is still the uncertainty of God's judgment... and maybe... just maybe in yours as well... if God is not real and the Bible is not real then Christians didnt lose much during their lifetime... but if God is real and what the Bible states is true about an eternity, then whole bunch of people are gonna be very shocked one day.

*The best thing that could EVER happen to people of TRUE faith would be the DISAPPEARANCE of what you call RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS. So, I completely agree!*

*Incorrect. In 1962, the Supreme Court ruled that atheism is a religion. Atheist organizations ARE tax exempt.*

"Thefethette Star1 month ago @Phillip Hickman just because i don't agree with you, doesn't mean I'm a nasty human being smh" Agreed. Your being a nasty human being makes you nasty

Speech requires vocal chords and air. What was God breathing before he created anything?

@@manuellayburr382 great question, but if indeed it was God who created this universe why would he have to limit himself to need the things (air, oxygen molecules) that HE created? Think of it this way, as 3 dimensional beings do we require anything from the second dimension? No!

@@yilamwong749 This is simply a non sequitur. Once you put God into the equation, everything else can be explained by, well not explaining it like you just did.

@@Chickennuggie1498 if you hold god to the same level as humans and what we need then he wouldn’t be THE god.

@yilamwong749 This is simply circular logic based on assumptions and claims made by iron age people…

God is axiomatically the uncaused cause, the prime mover, the necessary I AM. Countless extremely intelligent philosophers thru the years have worked through the LOGIC to conclude a necessary uncaused cause, and it's always conveniently ignored by these fedora-tipping egoists.

He is just trying to carve his way out from his brothers shadow. Poor sod lol

*Vogon. I'm embarrassed to report I thought exactly the same thing!. I agree re: Hitchens sibling rivalry. Weird how they both did a 180 switcheroo though: Peter from atheist to sniveling authoritarian, and Christopher (a hero figure for me) from socialist to pro-war neocon.

Correct. Peter is average and bitter. Christopher was bright and caring.

I deduce from the replies that there are two interpretations of your question. I took it to mean can other evolved organisms have consciousness. The way that any social animal behaves, looks like consciousness to me. Dogs in particular seem to display consciousness of humans.

Since I, or anyone else, has never seen the non-entity called 'God' by deluded humans, I define it as non-existent.

​@@yaboicaden200nah it's a matter of opinion

It was really along the lines of "He is not supposed to be saying these things because they are false and cannot be proven true, while Jesus is proven true to exist and because he did exist, whatever he was like, he portrayed himself as God and was worshiped by many. And he, judging by the earlier scriptures, was prophesied to come as he came, no other god came as he did(Vishnu, Isis, Osiris, Thor, etc.)."* Just wanted to fix your grammatical error :)

Ask religious people have they ever had a wet fart i.e. shit there pants by accident. If so then why do they believe in an intelligent designer?!

His brother is Christopher Hitchens. Sadly no longer with us physically but his wisdom I experience daily. One of the best minds in last century of intelligent thought.

Steve Swangler I totally agree with you. Almost all religious ppl have been “indoctrinated “ since birth and aside from their primary job and a hobby don’t know much else! I’ll make that clear... I stated “almost All “ not all! I respect ppl’s beliefs until they try and push it on me then my other parties tend to come out and play ugly lol. Shhh... I hear voices but don’t tell anyone! JK with you. The chief duty of every new age is to upraise new men to determine its liberties, to lead it towards material success - to rend the rusty padlocks and chains of dead custom that always prevent healthy expansion. Theories and ideas that may have meant life and hope and freedom for our ancestors may now mean destruction, slavery, and dishonor to us! As environments change, no human ideal standeth sure! Whenever, therefore, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and without regret, for under the domination of an inconvenient falsehood, no one can prosper. Let established sophisms be dethroned, rooted out, burnt and destroyed, for they are a standing menace to all true nobility of thought and action! Whatever alleged "truth" is proven by results to be but an empty fiction, let it be unceremoniously flung into the outer darkness, among the dead gods, dead empires, dead philosophies, and other useless lumber and wreckage! The most dangerous of all enthroned lies is the holy, the sanctified, the privileged lie the lie everyone believes to be a model truth. It is the fruitful mother of all other popular errors and delusions. It is a hydra-headed tree of unreason with a thousand roots. It is a social cancer! The lie that is known to be a lie is half eradicated, but the lie that even intelligent persons accept as fact - the lie that has been inculcated in a little child at its mother's knee - is more dangerous to contend against than a creeping pestilence! There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are the work of human hands, and what man has made, man will destroy! This is evident of what’s going on in the world today. Man is determined to destroy man!

And there are idiots who don't believe cos they are idiots

Nonsense. NDEs and OBEs are nothing more than hallucinations and dreams.

I have contradicted that thesis by positing the existence of a God whom I have described as a bastard God. And I have also posed a question: what sort of fear has compelled me to posit the existence of such a God. Here it was expected that you would defend your thesis and so answer my question. Nobody wants to know whether there's a God or not. But they want to know how you will counter my challenge. And there you have failed miserably. If you do not know how to defend your thesis, then why have you presented it?

There is no God, true, at least not that God, but there is a source, let's call it the consciousness behind all that exist.
