[QUOTE=Stu;3188621]It's not up to us to prove a negative. Think of Russell's teapot. You could believe like a muppet in virtually anything and defend it using that abysmal argument. Can you disprove that space wolves sporting AK-47's are orbiting Pluto on the back of Cheetahs?


I beg to differ. If you are going to categorically deny the existence of God then you MUST come up with some convincing evidence for that stance. That is the nature of science. It is not enough just to say "I don't believe". I am entitled to ask you "why?" Or perhaps you just have FAITH that there is no god, in which case you are in the same boat as those that believe there most definitely IS a God. If so, just say so, but please do not put forward your personal opinion of the non existence of God as if it is a fact, when it is not backed up by any definitive evidence.

I don't believe in God but I do believe that a transexual magician named The Sensual Frankie Dynamo , who is invisible, visits me in my dreams from a distant star system.

You can't disprove it lol.

You can't disprove it lol.

But I don't wish to disprove it since your personal belief does not impact on me in any way, shape or form.

Who needs god when you can dodge bullets like that.

Talk about hair splitting.

No it is you who are being disingenuous since the existence of a transexual magician named The Sensual Frankie Dynamo who is invisible is not of interest or concern to the billions on this planet since you, and only you,(so far as we are aware) are the recipient of his nocturnal visits (though I wonder how you know, since he is invisible?).

Whereas the existence or not of God has been, is, and will probably continue to be the most debated philosophical conundrum on the planet.

Nothing to do with anything. The popularity of God versus Frankie has nothing to do with validity as a theory. Their is an equal lack of proof against the existence of both. Basically, you could make up an infinite number of absurd ideas in your head that would be suject to this appaling 'well there is no proof it doesn't exist lol!'.
