Evidence for a god existing or not existing

[We Never Know]

After reading a bunch of post this past week, I've decided to create this thread and list all the evidence I found for a god existing and all the evidence for a god not existing.

For a god existing the evidence is...

For a god not existing the evidence is...


There you have it. Look all the evidence over. Compare all the evidence, debate it and see what you come up with. No need to thank me. Its all in a weeks work

So the decision falls on what assumption a person makes about gods existing.

Of course the logical default is that we don't believe ideas that have no evidence for them.

So if we don't know then it doesn't exist or didn't happen? That's interesting.
Or does it simply mean we aren't aware of it yet? If we aren't aware of something does that mean it isn't possible?

If you're going to set rules like this, and you opt to believe in a god, then you also are obligated to believe in the Tooth Fairy and elves. I mean maybe you're just not aware of the Tooth Fairy doing her thing, and our parents cover for her. Keebler Elves baking this cookies? I mean you have no evidence they don't, right?

It's possible, right?

This is why in logic the default is that we don't believe ideas UNLESS they have compelling evidence and are likely true. Only then does a rational mind have a reason to believe.

I don't believe in a god. I also can't show a good doesn't exist. In short I don't know so i don't claim anything either way.

So i ask again...

Since you aren't a witness and only hearing claims by others, it's a matter of not knowing one way or the other.

We aren't aware of Bigfoots existing, but we don't let that keep us from sleeping at night. I'm waiting for evidence. Otherwise I'm not convinced they exist. But I could be wrong.

Much of science started with "ideas", which led to hypotheses, which led to evidence,
which led to theories, which led to much of the knowledge we now have.

Science explains observed phenomenon. Science can't examine ideas like mythical beings.

There is no “EVIDENCE”
Everyone knows that
Dead end conversation

I’m sure many would be happy to share why they believe in God

If a tree falls down n the forest and no one is around to hear it....

No evidence for either. Everyone with an opened mind knows that.

Trees exist. We can cut one down. We can see if it make noise. If it does is there a reason to assume it's all for us?

And that's great for them. In my opinion having faith isn't a bad thing, its just not for everyone.

And yet another head is hit

Why is faith needed by some?
