Is there anything more conviently unprovable that a God?

Question

I mean really, he/she/it is invisible, unknowable, is hidden in either another dimension, or is simply too grand for humans to see. Yet for over 10,000 years people have thought this was real, that some all knowing creator worked in vague patterns that escaped their restricted mentality.

And the promise of an afterlife when you die. Nobody has crossed the threshold of death, some have come close, none have crossed it. So the 'proof' of this whole story is after you die. When either you cannot cross back because you are dead, or perhaps in this mythological land where all your dreams come true. Or perhaps in eternal torture for things this invisible God did not approve of.

I mean realistically nobody could weave a more illusive or vague and unprovable story in 2008. There is absolutely no way we know of to not say that there is some big God in the sky that nobody can see.

Well aside from the fact that for the most part people don't claim invisible friends in the sky, I mean that would just be crazy.

Answer 1

More like conveniently undefined.

If you really try to get a religious person to pin down what, exactly, he thinks a god is, you'll find that even he doesn't know what it is he's claiming exists.

Answer 2

Evolution!

Answer 3

1) prove there is no Being or Intelligence greater than Man.

can't do it.

2) PROVE that Life and the Universe simply came out of nothingness and meaninglessness.

can't do it.

3) PROVE that Jesus never arose from the dead.

can't do it.

Selah.

Answer 4

Atheists are unprovable. I keep asking for proof of their existence from a scientific standpoint but nobody has provided any evidence of any kind other than to say "I'm an atheist and I exist" which you and I both know is not proof.  So in short atheists and the Tooth Fairy are even more conveniently unprovable than God.

Answer 5

Did you forget Tabitha who died and then brought back to life.  What about Lazarus.

Answer 6

Dear friend,

Open your eyes and look around.The proof is all around you.

Answer 7

Dude you said it all. I can't agree with you more.

Answer 8

When I was a kid, I thought that the whole world was in black & white during the 40s and 50s.  I used to think that when my family or friends weren't around, it meant they were off somewhere reading a script of what to say to me the next time they'd see me. My grandma told me my stuffed animals actually really cried if I'd hit them, and I believed her.  Eventually, I stopped believing that because my brain developed.  Christians' brains have not.

Answer 9

Try to prove that evolution really occured.... dont show me your incomplete fossil records, unless you come back with a COMPLETE SERIES of transitional specimens. And dont tell me that the lack of fossils is because fossilization is  CONVENIENTLY a rare process .

And dont send me reports of scientists observing new mutations in flies and rats in labs. That only proves that mutations occur within a kind. Nobody debates that... It does NOT prove that gradual mutations cause an entirely new, physically different creature. This has never been observed in realitime...and can never will be. Because such  changes CONVENIENTLY require millions of years to observe.

Hope that helped.

Answer 10

Christians don't realize the conveniance of their own ignorance. They claim the Bible's obviously mythological stories as if they saw it themselves.

"How do you explain how Jesus rose from the dead?"

...Did he? Really? So you were there to see it?

The Bible is obviously a work of fiction, riddled by inaccuracies and vague prophecies that could be related to anything. An invisible God?

Come on.

Answer 11

The big bang, evolution, ghosts, an after-life...

Probably a lot more I can't think of right now.  

Answer 12

You forgot about Satan too dude. They say he doesn't show himself as well because it would also prove God is real.

Grossly convenient

Answer 13

Sure. There's all that psychic stuff, and the various alternative medicines, and all sort of other commercialized kiddie stuff like that. Some of it has even lasted for hundreds of years, though belief in gods certainly holds the longevity record.

But you do have a good point. The REAL "First Commandment" for any religion is "Thou Shalt Not Go Out on a Limb".
