Or a thread that may never end.
However I have been thinking about such a proposition and I am reasonably satisfied that one can prove God does not exist.
Perhaps we need to be a little more specific as to exactly what God we shall prove does not exist.
Believers seem to present their God as an entity that created everything and loves humans.
Should we include more or can we proceed to argue such a God does not exist.
Certainly of the thousands of Gods we need to narrow it down or maybe not...
And rules of proof need to be defined.
Should the proof be more than required by our law courts either criminal or civil proof. I think that level of proof should be acceptable to both sides.
It is said one can not prove a negative but I suggest by applying the same level of proof that we find in the court system the opportunity of proving God does not exist is reasonable.
Should the term God be further defined before the prosecution seeks to establish there is no God and who wishes to offer evidence both for and or against.
Subject to accepted refinement the proposition is The loving God does not exist and did not cause creation.
