Why do people even mention "God" if there is not one single shred of evidence for his existence?

Absence of evidence for something most likely implies that it is non-existent, so there is no need to "disprove" God.

Update:

I'm talking about the Abrahamic God btw.

Update 2:

@twinkle toez

So Im guessing the other 2/3 of the world isn't "saved" and they are all going to hell for their beliefs.

Update 3:

@ Malcom

Your ignorance of how the world works doesn't prove anything. Those who do not understand the world and its natural phenomena need to drag in supernatural forces. Get a real education instead of getting all your information from creationist websites.

Update 4:

Yes, let's resort to threats and insults because you have no good reason to believe. Says a lot about Christianity.

    The "Abrahamic God" is the same God in the New Testament. Jesus constantly refers to the God of Abraham. Also, how do you know there isn't a shred of existence for God? From my belief there isn't a shred of evidence for NO God...

    The reason even the most educated atheists can't win an argument against even a youth who's educated in the Bible and firmly believes it only shows how brittle evidence for no God really is...

    Many things are not proven yet people still believe or like to believe.

    Science has gone through years where theories on different topics have existed and remained a common belief among scientists yet it doesn't make them smarter or ignorant .

    History

    Conspiracies

    Studies

    Stories

    Religion and Science

    Will never be accurate and "truth" since truth can be relative, illusional, debatable and always doubted.

    For proof of the God of Israel (the Christian God) please read below:

    The Judo-Christian God of the Bible is the One and True God because He is the only God that has withstood the test of time, science, history, and prophecies of the Bible. This can be seen through the Dead Sea Scrolls that were written over 2000 years ago; proving that it with stood the test of time because it matches up word-for-word of the Hebrew Bible today. Verses such as Leviticus 17:14 stating “For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.” and Isaiah 40:22 stating “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:”. These verses in the Bible are proven to be scientifically true thousands of years after they were written! The Israelites being enslaved to the Egyptians 3000 years ago and the Israelites spending 40 years in the desert is historically accurate proving that the Bible stands the test of history. And the test of prophecy is being fulfilled right now by the world leaders discussing and making plans how on they, the leaders of the world, are able to unite the world through a global government and economy. This is written in the Bible in verse of Revelation 13:7 “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” and in Revelation 13:16-17 “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”.

    Because humanity is still a Type 0 civilization. In 100-200 years, when we are Type I, we will discover god. Children will be taught the truth and the scientific explanation for god and the creation of man as it really happened, most likely through the use of interplanetary vessels and genetic technology.

    ok banjo I'm gonna say it for the third time today in this section within the past six hours (don't you read the answers given?) that there is definitely evidence of God's existence and if you think not then it's you who is out in the cold and maybe you need to break down and do a little investigation on your own.

    There is plenty of evidence for God but very little proof. Just because there is no evidence does not mean that it does not exist. Was there evidence of ultra-violet rays in 1432? No, there wasn't even the concept. Do ultra-violet rays exist? Yes. Did they exist then? Yes.

    only academia states that interior the absence of info of the existence of a few thing it might desire to be deemed to no longer exist until verifiable info is chanced on - subsequently god is held to no longer exist pending some type of verifiable info. there is not any longer one single point out of Jesus interior the total Roman checklist - it fairly is physically powerful - no longer one!!! on a similar time as he became meant to have been around there have been countless Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are properly recorded!! He became meant to have been a great issue to the Romans and produced astonishing miracles yet nonetheless no longer one modern-day checklist? Even the bible mentions of him like numerous different references weren't written until some years after his meant loss of existence!! Pilot is recorded interior the Roman checklist as an exceptionally lack luster guy yet no point out of a Jesus, an ordeal or crucifixion that ought to fairly have been used to make him look brighter!! At superb he became an amalgam of those others!! The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he became a pagan no longer god!!! He additionally prepared Christianity into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! no longer in Israel or any of the international places of meant foundation yet completely Italian!! no longer one be attentive to that's modern-day with the era and became no longer written until some years after the era the tale is set in!! How did the apostles write their books long as quickly as they have been ineffective? What a ask your self complete disinformation and deception marketing campaign he waged against his Christian enemies - so solid in actuality that Christians are nonetheless following the deception to at present!!! the 1st guy or woman to grant a shred of verifiable info for God will grow to be international admired and mega wealthy!! Ain't got here approximately yet and it by no skill will!!

    Universal law demands a Law Giver. No man can look at nature and consider that God does not exist.

    I really like that comment (skip it i will get to your question):

    You may not be saved, but millions are.

    Source(s):

    I'm not perfect. Just saved.

    Yeah, like a backup of all my data..

    Better make a backup of all of it..

    ..one month later: wtf did i backup..

    (how much did I drink/smoke that day(

    Christians are clever people:

    Lets say I define something called X

    now i difine thatdefinenot defined in any space-time-whatever(we can not imagine) dimension.

    now i difine that X can change anything without leaving any definable traces(lets say physics in a space-time or something), because it works in a system we can not define.

    finally i say: X equals a sentient being called god.

    There's no evidence the future will exist. It does not imply that it is non-existent.

    As you may have heard, a lot of people believe in this "God" thing, and since that's wrong, that would be the reason there is need to disprove "God". To show it is not logically possible, and not to be given scientific consideration.

    It might change a few minds. Then anyone persisting with their belief in God can be diagnosed with a delusional disorder. It's a win-win.
