Atheism Information

Atheists don't believe in god because there's no proof. This statement really bothers religious people, whose entire sense of self and meaning is wrapped up in their faith, but it's just a statement of fact. Religions have never been able to prove the existence of god. Think about it, here's the type of proof they offer: It's Written in a Book It's written in a book, that was written by people who were trying to convince others that there stories were true without any evidence. It's like if we said, "Jane told us that her great grandmother 100 times removed met a guy who talked to another guy who said a group of people saw a fluorescent space cabbage, and it was god. The story is written down in this book, so it must be true." Notice how there is no evidence provided whatsoever. You Have to Have Faith When atheists ask for observable, measurable, tangible, verifiable proof of a god the answer is often, "Well, you have to have fait...

When anyone makes a claim, he or she has to have evidence to prove it. Some claims are minor, some major, and all are subject to being proven by our senses, life experience, and scientific knowledge. Claiming there is a god is an extraordinary claim which, just like anything else, requires evidence to prove. If we claim that there is a giant space lizard that created everything, most people would say that there isn't or ask us to prove it. If we don't have proof, they wouldn't believe it. But religions make claims like this all the time, without proof. All atheists are asking is that, if you make a claim, especially one as huge as the existence of a god, back it up with independently verifiable proof. The burden of proof simply means that whoever makes the claim, especially huge ones about supernatural beings, needs to furnish proof. Most people can easily dismiss the space lizard, but why don't they do the same for gods? Religions have invested a lot of energy over...

What would convince an atheist that there is a god? Verifiable proof, which means tangible, measurable evidence, something like: Being able to see and see, touch, and talk to the god in front of a group of atheists and people who have no interest in proving its existence. Having science conclusively confirm there is a god, which means multiple studies, verifiable data, and the vast majority of scientists agreeing on the finding. We use our senses and scientific knowledge to prove everything we know about the universe yet, for some reason, religious people say we can't do that for a god? Why the exception? Why do we trust our senses and scientific knowledge for everything else but a god? If you have to make an exception to everything you know about the universe, on faith, without verifiable evidence, then perhaps that means that thing simply doesn't exist. As atheists, we are willing to believe in a god, when we're presented with sound proof, just like with eve...
