How To Disprove Atheism


Creation of the Sun and Moon face detailIn order to disprove atheism, a god/s must be proven to exist; this is the only way to disprove atheism. There exist two problems in disproving atheism.

-no evidence of a god/s
-no evidence that the universe was intelligently designed (even this wouldn't disprove atheism per se)

Even if evidence came about that the universe was intelligently designed, this still wouldn't disprove atheism. To disprove atheism, it must be proven that god/s exist, being able to prove what they are responsible for is the icing on the cake. You cannot say that X created Y when you do not know what X is. What if X (the intelligent creator) is not a single being but millions or even billions of beings working together? At the moment there is no evidence to even suggest that the universe was intelligently created. We observe that it takes intelligence to "create" things, and we falsely apply this pattern where we shouldn't so that we feel our world-view is complete (I say 'we' as in humans in general). Creationists are afraid of their own ignorance, and they try to ignore that ignorance by masking it with the idea of God.

The point here is that atheism can only be disproven if God (or any god/s) is proven to exist. The debate is won every time on the side of the atheist when the creationist fails to provide evidence of their claim. Creationists can tell themselves over and over again that they are winning (like Charlie Sheen); but, in reality, this is done more so that they are able to convince themselves that this is true (as they do with God). Self-brainwashing is the name of the game for a believer (i.e. faith).
