fact of the matter is that humans have had ways to observe, record, and
test these ghost stories for over a century now. Through all of this
documentation we still have no evidence to even slightly prove any of it.
The argument of design can simply be discarded by looking at the argument.
It states, the Earth and the life on it is too complex to have occurred
naturally; therefore, it must have been designed. If it is true that something
complex cannot occur naturally, that it would need to have a designer, then
the designer would be even more complex and would also need a designer.
This is an infinite regress.
Pascal’s Wager, has undoubtedly been used by every theist to date. It states
that you would be better off to believe in God than to not. Even if all the
evidence suggests there isn’t a god. For if there is no god, nothing is going
to happen when you die. However, if there is, and you didn’t believe, then
you are going to hell. First off, I will not be bullied into believing anything
and I can’t imagine a god that would be so petty to do so, but I’ll go more
into that later. Secondly, how does she know which god is the right god to
worship? How does she know that while she’s worshipping Yahweh she’s not
making Thor progressively angrier?
“You can’t disprove God either!” Sure, I can’t disprove God, just like she
can’t disprove unicorns. The fact that you can’t disprove something is not
sufficient evidence to believe in it. Generally, in the U.S., people believe in
some sort of God so they act like you are the one making the claim. So let
me make this clear. If she is the one claiming something incorporeal, then it
is incumbent on her to provide the evidence. If I claim that an invisible
boogey man is in the backseat of her car, I would bear the burden of proof,
not her. Like a theist, I could say, “Well, you can’t prove there is no invisible
boogey man in your car.” And, it wouldn’t make it any more true.
