Isn’t No-God position an unreasonable position?

Post #1

Post by paarsurrey1 »

God is attributive, neither physical nor a spirit, His attributes are found reflected everywhere in the Universe as positive verities in absolutes. Science deals in things that are physical and material. Therefore, the No-God position is unreasonable if not the most unreasonable position. Neither religion nor science supports the No-God position, please.

This description of what God is does not agree with the descriptions found in Tanakh (aka Old Testament), New Testament, Qu'ran, Book of Mormon, Urantia Book or Guru Granth Sahib.
I do find it odd that someone who identifies as ignostic would claim to know the meaning of the word God and castigate atheism on the basis of that definition.
However, I do agree with you that religion does not support the No-God position.

How does one know that? Please quote the definition from Tanakh (aka Old Testament) in support of one's viewpoint. Right, please?

Science doesn't need evidence to support a position for which there is no evidence. The simple lack of evidence is sufficient from a scientific perspective to consider a position to have no rational merit until evidence can be produced.

Far more importantly than this there is actually overwhelming evidence that the God of the Abrahamic religions cannot exist as described in any of the Abrahamic literature. (i.e. the Tanakh, Bible and Qur'an.) All of those mythological texts can be shown to contain serious self-contradictions concerning the description of their mythological Gods.

Where some other more abstract concept of "God" might exist would be an entirely different question. However, even these other abstract concepts of a generic idea of a "God" would need to define their God in a way that makes the concept comprehensible. Without a comprehensible definition for the "God" in question it would not be possible to ask scientific questions of whether or not it could even exist.

From my own personal experience I have seen abstract concepts of "God" that cannot be refuted by science, reason, or logical contradiction. These are typically Eastern Mystical ideas of "God" far removed from the personal "Zeus-like" anthropomorphic God of the Abrahamic religions.

While these more abstract concept of "God" cannot be refuted by science, reason, or logical contradictions, they cannot be demonstrated to exist either. So once again, in terms of science there is no "evidence" to support those hypotheses.

But the God's of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam can be demonstrated to be false mythologies based on their own self-contradictory scriptures. No science is even required to see that they are clearly false religions.

So science doesn't even need to come into the picture. We can easily see that those religions are clearly false based solely on their own self-contradictory scriptures.

Sorry, I didn't say that science needs evidence. I said that No-God position is unreasonable and is not supported by science. Is it, please?

Is it acknowledgement that the "no-God" position- the position taken by Atheism, is not supported by Science? Nonetheless, the Truthful Religion also obviously rejects it with reasonable arguments.
Right, please?
