To disprove God you need to start by counteracting any proof that there is for God, whereas to disprove space wolves you don't have to do that because theres no proof to start with.



A small thing called Christianity. Dunno if you've heard of it though.

(I'm not religious btw)

So something is more credible simply because it latched on through tradition? That's an absurd argument. There are thousands of psychological, neurological reasons as to why people claim to 'see' God. There is no hard proof for the existence of God, just like space wolves.

Are you aware of Bertrand Russell's theory of the Celestial Teapot?




If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.



Christianity is proof of God. You do make me laugh, Tom.
