Can you logically or scientifically assert that God doesn't exist? Yes or no?
Can you logically assert that God doesn't exist? If you understand
why there is a need within a historical context for God to exist in the first place then yes you can logically assert that God doesn't exist as an entity but as a very human
response to a situation where the subject is experiencing a deviance around him which he simply can not cope with on his own.
Ten thousand years ago people simply could not explain why the seasons changed or major disasters happened. They initially tried to explain this with what we would call elemental or spiritual forces. You had hundreds of small groups of people who credited evil spirits will everything from what we now call mental illnesses to blizzards. Their lack of knowledge about the world around them made it essential that they
create an explanation or response for it. As the population of the world rose and the first early cities & societies started appearing, the elements and spirits which had worked so well for people in caves and huts no longer seemed to do the job for much larger groups of people. They started creating
personalities for these elements. These personalities came with names and stories. You had Iris, Osiris and Rah in Egypt, Zeus, Hera and Hermes in Greece and Mars, Jupiter & Venus in Rome. These are only a handful of the dozens upon dozens of
Gods each of which had backstories that involved their creation, daily lives and occupations.
Then came a revolutionary thought. Why have hundreds of Gods when you could simply have
One? One force to explain everything why birds fly, why snow falls and why people die. This concept can be found across the world. Buddhists and Hindus all believe that there is a consistent force in the universe which ties everything together. This concept is not unlike the Holy Spirit. It is something which they claim is there, whether you accept it or not. It(God), like the pantheons of Gods before it, provides an explanation to people of why things we can not explain occur
until we find out the true reason. Why is it we no longer explain seasonal changes as the work of God? Why is it we don't say it's God's work when there is an earthquake? Why is it we now explain sickness through bacteria and viruses and not God? When one looks at
God through a historical context, you see that at the very least, a concept like God
needs to exist to explain things.
So, I guess that from a sociological perspective, yes God most certainly exists. However God doesn't exist as an entity in this perspective. God exists as a response. God is medicine for people who can not entirely deal with the world around them. From a perspective which expects verifiable scientific proof of God's existence? Then no. He does not. If he does then you are more than welcome to prove his existence through means which can be analyzed by the scientific community.
