Would proving that there is no God improve your life in any way?

If in your quest to disprove God, you found indisputable evidence that creationism is true, would you ever admit it to yourself. Would that evidence improve your life an any way?

    You put proving that there is no God then ask what would happen if creationism (in terms of the Universe you must mean, evolution has provided proof of biological life) is true - so what are you asking?

    I don't need God. I'm happy that He's dead. Only foolish, ignorant people need him.

    Are you only a good person because you believe a supernatural cop is looking over your shoulder? If so you're not really a good person, if not, then you don't need him to be good.

    Sure, but it would have to be some huge amount of evidence. I mean creationism doesn't match the fossil record at all. So it would have to be irrefutable evidence that the moon people (or who ever) put millions of fake fossils around the whole planet.

    Any valid theory HAS to match the FACT that fossils start simple and get more complex over long periods of time. Creationism doesn't, so it is not a valid theory.

    The 'Truth is what it is'....

    Proof of something is normally required to turn a 'faith' into a 'belief'.

    Proof of such a thing as 'God' would be exceedingly hard to show.

    Some will say..."Ah a butterfly....surely a God must exist'

    Others would say.."Ah a butterfly...surely evolution works"

    Its a butterfly...... what does that do for you spiritually?

    Its an insect that lives a very short time and I am willing to guess it does not fly around trying to prove to the other butterflies that there is a 'God'.

    Anything written in human hands is subject to mis-interpretation.

    the bible itself has been re-written and worse...it has been changed and several chapters re-written, edited, and some actually removed.

    There are verses and whole chapters in the Dead Sea Scrolls that you will not find any Old Testament in existence.

    Source(s): So why do you concern yourself with it? Why ask about either side of the issue? Unless you are in search of an answer as well........ ...if you are..... ......You will never find it in the Bible or from the lips of your Pastor. You will only find it by studying the world and as much of what was written by the most ancient of authors you can find. Those authors wrote things down that can be compared for accuracy amongst themselves. The rhetorical garbage can thereby be weeded out over time. I'll believe what I can prove..... You believe whatever you find comfortable.... If we see eye-to-eye fantastic..... If we don't you are free to "have faith" in whatever you wish. I won't try to "convert you".....

    Most people are not on a quest to disprove God, because it's impossible to disprove a negative.

    If evidence were revealed to prove the existence of God to me, then I wouldn't fall on my knees to beg for forgiveness. If God truly is benevolent, then I believe he will judge me on the life I've lived, not on whether or not I believed in him.

    Since there is no way to empirically prove one way or the other that there is in fact a God, hence faith, we may never know. And to conjecture about something that is so important as to cause wars would be lacking in common sense at the least. People have been given a choice to believe or not. I choose to believe because I personally feel I have seen to many signs to the positive to discount his existence.

    No, but I would know that a better life can exist because had we not been held back with the bible claims, just maybe there would be less people living in poverty, but that will never happen, how do you think that they get the people of the world to go to work, for there system to work you need millions of people, but if we fall shot in producing children for the labor needed it will crash, and then we shall know the truth

    i have learned to turn down these rumours in my mind for the sake of beeing happy here and now and for looking for the kind of truth which is not only true but also helping me personally to continue on my way back to myself. if you are looking for god or for a proof of god outside of yourself, you´ll be the fooled one again..

    on the other hand: it is clearly untrue, that evolution is THE ONLY process having led to our present condition. if aliens can create

    new life an even erase death, then how easy this all should be for the creator of these aliens! you see: creation exists and evolution exists, too. there is no contradiction in between.
