Is Einstein Garbage In Garbage Out??
The Magic Function Box Was Never Degraded So!
Once upon a time, there was a religious fanatic on Medium that posted some spiritual nonsense. Hey, that’s every day!! I gave a rebuttal to one of them as follows:
First, science can now disprove God.
Second, one’s belief/acceptance quantity should match the quantity of evidence. Putting your belief for something one one axis (say the x-axis) going from -1 to 1 and the evidence for that something on the other axis (say the y-axis), one can ascertain their position on the graph for this. The line going from (-1, 1) to (1,1) is the Line of Correctness. The line from (-1, 1) to (1, -1) is the Line of Incorrectness. Try to keep your points for things on the Line of Correctness.
Vertical lines on this graph denote the possible levels of belief. A theist has their point on the line x=1. An atheist has their point on the line x=0. An anti-theist (one who completely believes there is no God) has their point on the line x=-1.
There’s never been any confirmed evidence for God (visions are not evidence). At the very least, the Line of Evidence for God is y=0.
But, I can prove God does not exist (i.e. provide evidence for God on the line y=-1).
