Be an adequate person,do not try to prove something wrong,do not deprive a person of a fairy tale in which he believes and relies,this is his own business.
First, practice and prove that you are. That is, within the framework of scientific concepts, explain the phenomenon of consciousness. Then explain the reasons for the complexity of matter in the universe (the thermodynamic paradox of cosmology). After that, feel free to go on to prove that you are actually the pinnacle of independent evolution of matter and there are no gods.
I remember the phrase from Beware of the car: “- All people believe. Some believe that there is a God, others that there is no God. Both are unprovable. Will you recalculate it?” My answer is no.
I will still use the right of blood and answer the question with a question: why?
Well, that is, let's say there is you, and there is a certain believer [let's call him Abu]. So, for example, Abu invited you to have a gin and tonic and watch the golf championship, and you agreed, but at the same time you did not go to the meeting to watch golf, but even with a firm and clear goal to prove to Abu that his God is unreal.
And then you've already distracted a person from golf, put them on the dangerous path of a religious argument, and suddenly time stops, the unborn child of Confucius, Kant and Statham appears to you and begins to rub something there about how before you start rinsing Your brain, you have to decide for yourself what the fuck it is for someone.
Personally, I see all possible answers to this question as follows::
1) Educational goal. Stupid Abu, they say, is stuck in the Dark Ages, and you – it was you who had such a mission-are ready to lead him to the light of knowledge and science.
But in order to enlighten, you need to know. And then the problems begin. First, you don't know about the non-existence of God, but only guess, and this already makes your enlightenment not so valuable – for example, the Inquisition at one time suspected that the Earth was still in the center of the system, and how did this end? Secondly, most likely, you are much less familiar with that very brilliant science than you think. I don't think you're a theoretical physicist with a passion for evolutionary biology and genetics and a Nobel Laureate in combination, right?
So the option of enlightenment disappears.
2) To save Abu's soul.
Our Abu is an ordinary believer with no radical tendencies. He doesn't explode in the morning in fitness clubs, doesn't throw food at women, doesn't engage in self-flagellation (except for his own pleasure with a girl (or guy), but we can't judge him), so what can we save him from?
Also disappears.
3) Out of harmfulness.
And here, by the way, there are no snags.
Except for one thing: being mean is bad and useless, but that's not a reason not to be mean, is it?
I think we've found the answer to Cantfustatem.
So, now that you have already given an answer to the malicious ghost, and time is running out, it's time to answer the next question: do you still want to convince someone?
The point is that you can't prove it in principle, even to a believer or an atheist.
Faith is not supported by any facts, so the object of belief itself is unprovable and has a purely subjective character. Just because people believe in it doesn't mean that it exists, and it's just as likely to say that it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
If the presence or absence of God could be proved, then faith, as such, would disappear altogether. Instead of faith, there would be a firm knowledge that God exists (or does not exist). Atheists who believe that there is no God are basically no different from religious fanatics. Both of them have no proofs on their hands.
To prove the absence of God, at the present time, it is enough to refute 2 points:
The presence of a single branch of causal relationships in the universe (any event has a cause).
The presence of life as a fundamental quality of the Universe (life is a volitional development from simple to complex).
Note. I understand the universe here as the totality of everything that exists (whether it is material forms or ideal).
Try it out. Your thoughts will be useful both for you and for the universe. If you think long enough, there is a chance that you will come to God in this way. Although there are a lot of ways.
