Where is the "scientific proof" that atheists are right?

Question

Someone just said there is scientific proof that atheists are "right".

Why doesn't anyone ever tell me these things?

Where is the "proof?"

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Some things cannot be proven.  It cannot be 100% proven that we are the products of evolution, nor can it be 100% proven that the universe started from the Big Bang, but there is such substantial evidence of both that the chances of them being incorrect are very slim.  Here are just a few explainations as to why these topics are so likely to be true.

Evolution:

1.  There were fierce electrical storms during the initial cooling of the Earth, and it has been scientifically proven through experimentation (about 50 years ago, actually, so the science isn't that complex), that electricity can create simple RNA proteins and enzymes.

2.  The more complex the organism, the more evolutionarily advanced it becomes.  While protists, worms and fungi are not very complex at all, dolphins, apes and humans are very advanced.

3.  Modern people are significantly taller and have larger feet than people did about 1000 years ago.  This would be evolutionary evidence.

Big Bang:

1.  Gravity is the result of an enormous force.  This force would have obviously been the Big Bang.  Duh.

2.  It's ok to think that the universe was created by a higher deity, but the question remains:  What matter was the creater made from?

3.  The universe is still expanding.  This is clear, undisputed scientific proof.  It would have to be expanding as the result of a source so undeniably massive that it cannot be described.

Answer 2

About what?  Can you be more specific?

Answer 3

Right about what?

Your question makes it clear that you do not know the function of proofs in science. Perhaps that is the problem here.

Answer 4

There is no scientific proof that atheist are right(There is NO god)The scientific evidence that the bible is wrong would take up more space than your computer has.It's everywhere,it's massive,it's incontrovertible.There may be a god of sorts.The bible,and it's version of god,are certainly not it

Answer 5

Can't say it here. sorry hmmm

Answer 6

We don't need proof.  All we're saying is "we don't believe you".  Burden of proof is on the one making an assertion.

For most of us - weak atheists - we are not even stating an opinion let alone making a positive assertion.  All we say is that no convincing proof of divine existence has been presented, so we do not accept the claim any exist.

That HAS to be the ddefault otherwise all of us - believer or not - would have to accept all claims of gods unless they could be proven wrong.  You don;t do that.  I don't either.

Answer 7

Your Straw-man named someone has just been knocked off his high horse... good job.. now go run around in a circle and tell everyone you are practicing logical thought.

Answer 8

There is zero scientific proof that Atheists are wrong.

Considering there have been billions of people looking for that proof over thousands of years, it is fair to assume that they are not wrong.

Answer 9

There is no scientific proof that atheists are "right," just as there is no scientific proof that any religion is "right."  You cannot scientifically prove a negative (ie:  There is no God).  That's why I am an agnostic.  *No one* knows for sure whether there is a god or not.

Answer 10

The bible has been scientifically proven to be wrong.

With regard to Christianity, atheists are therefore, proven right.

Answer 11

Atheists are the ones taking the position.  If you prove god exists there will be no more atheists...

Answer 12

That's all that guy said?

I wouldn't say they have scientific proof, but I would say they are by far more logical than a sky daddy who created everything and then unjustly punishes his creation...

Answer 13

Look up Burden of Proof.  You can't prove a negative.  So it is up to the person claiming there is a God to provide evidence.  If there is no evidence, it is logical to not believe.  This is the "proof".

There is the same evidence for God as for Zeus, the FSM, and Santa.

Answer 14

That -is- a bit of a bizarre statement.

When you say that someone said "atheists are right", without other context, I can only assume you're saying they meant "right that there is no god". There is definitely no scientific proof of that. Although it may be more scientifically plausible than the idea that there is a god, there's certainly no proof either way.

Answer 15

The purpose of science isn't to prove, its to understand
