Proving the Negative

An extraction from the book, Adeology

From the chapter: The Fallacy of Unfalsifiable Infallibility

        When believers are confronted with the concept of proving that their god exists, nonbelievers are often mocked for not being able to prove that the believer’s god does not exist. But, if it is agreed that the belief in god is the belief in the Creator god of supposedly Everything, then it is not necessary to go through every individual god idea, one by one, in order to disprove the idea of or belief in god. All one needs to do is prove the negative: nothing cannot exist, therefore, something always exists; therefore, god, the creator, cannot and did not create everything if something already existed; therefore, god, the creator, does not exist.

…hence, adeology
