(16,479 posts)Some atheists say that they haven't seen evidence and that they won't believe in him until they have seen credible evidence.
Some atheists declare that God doesn't exist, without clarifying how they came to that conclusion.
I'm an agnostic because of the philosophical/logical background that came with my science-education.
* I know that for simple mathematical reasons it is not possible to experimentally prove/disprove God, which means the only way to prove/disprove him is some sort of theoretical argument.
* And there can never be a theoretical argument why God does/doesn't exist until we perfectly understand the nature of reality and of our universe... which is in turn mathematically impossible as us humans are finite entities.
TL;DR Humans will never be able to either prove of disprove God's existence, because humans are finite and God is infinite. Only an entity that is infinite like God (-> another God) could actually find out whether there is a God or not.
