Comments by "turquoisestones" (@turquisestones) on "You Can't Prove That God Doesn't Exist - Debunked" video.

Oh my God! When my son referred me to this video I thought that I would hear something new, but... oh boy! all these arguments that this guy on the video presents are already centuries old! And none of these arguments prove that God does not exist. For example, "Can the ever-existing God kill Himself? If He kills Himself, then He is not ever-existing. And if He can't kill Himself then He is not omnipotent." The right answer to that is "Yes, God can kill Himself because He is omnipotent. And if He kills Himself somehow - in the way unknown and unfathomable to us - He still can remain the ever-existing God". How is that possible? We don't know. But if we don't know something, it doesn't mean it's impossible. The problem here is that we humans cannot comprehend this with our limited human logic, therefore, these two statements look contradictory to us. But the fact that they look contradictory to us DOES NOT prove that one of them or both of them are false. It's like in science - there are many things that scientists observe and yet are still not able to explain, but that does not automatically prove that the things that they observe are false. It's just that simple!

@ozone20rulez "There is nothing to observe when it comes to God, not a shred of evidence" - In fact, the whole universe around us is the sheer evidence of God's existence. Not the proof, but the evidence. It's just that you rule it out as a potential evidence from the outset. However, the fact that you rule it out, doesn't make it less the evidence. A good detective wouldn't rule out any evidence - even though later some pieces of evidence may turn out to be false. It is at the very least strange to look at a smartphone and naturally suppose that it was designed by someone, yet look at the whole universe and not even suppose that it also might have been created by someone instead of just always being there by itself. "You're telling me nobody knows what God is, including you, yet you assert that a God indeed exists and does A, B, C etc etc" - When did I say that nobody knows what God is??? I would say that nobody knows FULLY what God is, but not that no one knows anything about God. Another question is when did I say that I don't know that God exist? You have attached quite a wrong meaning to my words and, therefore, arrived at quite a contradictory and false conclusion. I never "asserted" in my comment that God exists. Why? Because I simply know that He exists. And since I know that, I don't need to assert that. It's just that I can't prove to you that God exists, but the fact that I can't prove it to you, doesn't automatically mean that He doesn't exist. It's just like I can't prove to you now that when I was 5 years old, a stranger came up to me on the street and gave me a candy. I have no idea where he is now, whether he is still alive or not, and I don't even remember his face. So in this case, not only I don't have any proof, I don't even have any evidence! So I can't prove that to you at all. However, the fact that I can't prove that to you does not mean that what I claim is false. "yet you assert that a God indeed exists and does A, B, C etc etc" - Even if it was a simple act of assertion of mine, it would still not be invalid because you still can't prove that that assertion is wrong. " I can comprehend a definite contradiction in what you say.." - There is no contradiction there regardless of whether I know that God exists or merely assert that because assertion by definition is exactly that - simply assertion. An assertion may prove to be false or may prove to be true in the future, but before it is disproved, what it asserts can still be true.

@Berk01280 "What do you mean when you say that "nobody knos FULLY what god is"?" - When and where did I say that?

@Berk01280 Ah! I got it now. Yes, what I meant by that was that no human can completely fathom God due to the fact that humans are finite beings, while God is infinite.
