For all of you geometry nerds like me, and for those of you who do not know what a postulate is, it is a rule of mathematics which cannot be proven, yet cannot/has not been disproven. I feel that God feels under this rule. No one can prove His/Her/It's existence, yet no one can really disprove it. I would like to see other peoples' thoughts on this.

A nuclear explosion is the result of a nuclear reaction such as nuclear fission which is the splitting of atoms. So how is his argument not credible?

Compare God to atoms. Has anyone actually seen an individual atom before? No. Atoms are a postulate for now.


We can't see atoms? Not even with atmoic force microscopes?

Wow I missed a lot for being gone a few hours

@314d1

No, that is a definition of god. Some things that don't fit that, such as a god that didn't create the universe or isn't supreme like Zeus is still a god without fitting this description.

What I meant was that's the definition of a monotheistic god. The person who made the thread is a self-admited Jew, so I doubt he was talking about Zeus.

I prefer definition 2 in the dictionary as the most generic definition that can apply to any god.

"the Supreme Being considered with reference to a particular attribute"

Actually it should say A Supreme Being but anyway.

Let me tell you a simple fact which i read last night from the holy book Gita. It is your misconception that god didn't create the universe.

Any evidence?

these all 84 lakhs living beings in which god put a soul came to this universe

Any evidence for a soul or that god gave it to us?

My friend. you are saying that god didn't create the universe.


The main point of this argument is that he cannot be proven, not what our personal opinions or personal truths are. Such as this:

It is your misconception that god didn't create the universe.


Its your choice to believe that its his misconception. Its your choice to believe that god is driving your car, I believe I am driving mine. There is no way that either of us can prove to the other that, without doubt, any god does or does not exist. I base my judgement on what I have seen, you base yours on what you want there to be.

How is this a fact?

God is not a postulate; people always wanted to know where we came from and how everything came to be. There were hypothesis', maybe postulates, but also a lot of assumptions. Deities are such assumptions, and, to be honest, assumptions that base on pure belief since they have no rational base. Believers are simply people who accepted these assumptions as truth, without needing any kind of real evidence.
