Just supposing..............
« on: October 23, 2019, 12:23:45 PM »
………...there was verifiable evidence to prove beyond all shadow of doubt that god doesn't exist, how would the Christians on this forum react to that? I have asked this question before on this and other forums, but never had a proper answer to that question.

There cannot be such evidence, so it's a pointless question.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

But, while we're asking pointless questions, let me ask you one: if there was verifiable evidence that proved beyond sll shadow of doubt that God DOES exist, how would YOU react?
But I repeat: it is intrinsically impossible to prove either the existence or the non-existence of God.

That is the pointless answer I usually get to that question. You don't know for a fact that there will never be such evidence. I was asking how people would react just supposing it was proved it didn't exist.

Start your own thread on how people would react if there was evidence a god exists.

It is not just that there is no conclusive proof for the non-existence of God now; there logically never can be, nor for God's existence. You might as well try to prove the existence of a square circle.

This isn't a valid question in the first place: it is just a rearrangement of the NPF, with an added dash of begging the question.

"NPF"?

Perhaps you could tell us what form such verifiable evidence might take.
