can science disprove god

Atheist View

The Atheist Perspective

Well enough to warrant not believing there is one.

See Part IV of Sense and Goodness without God and the chapter "Neither Life nor the Universe Appear Intelligently Designed" in The End of Christianity.

You cannot prove a negative. The same way I can't prove there aren't fairys down the bottom of my garden.

— Regan Woodhouse

Can you prove that you cannot prove a negative, or are your words nothing more than wishful thinking?

— Bo

If we could prove there is a god, would we be superior to god? Do not the rules of logic, the rule of noncontradiction, and the recognition that we can reason demonstrate that a reasoning Supreme Being exists?
It is much more intellectually reasonable to say, "A Supreme Being exists" than to say, "No Supreme Being exists."
Why?
-the argument from cause and effect. Every effect must have an antecedent and adequate cause that is other than itself;
-the argument from design. There is no poem without a poet, no law without a lawgiver, no novel without a novelist, no painting without a painter, and no design without a designer.
-the argument from moral values. Right and wrong really exist.
-the argument from moral duties. People really are obligated to do good and avoid evil.
-the argument from consciousness. Did our consciousness and will come from nothing, from molecules that have neither, or from a Consciousness powerful, intelligent, and creative enough to make them.
