I can disprove any specific god!

[That-Is-Bull]

I can't disprove that there is a god in general, but I can disprove that there is a specific god - such as a conscious, human-like god.

There's obviously no evidence and no reason at all to believe that if there is a god, he fits a certain religion's description. That's non-debatable, there's just no reason whatsoever to think that God is specific to one religion over another. And since anything is possible, God could literally be anything. And infinite number of things. There's no end to the amount of possible things God could be. That means that there's an infinitely small chance that any one description of God is right - a 0.000...1% chance. So, there's an infinitely big chance that any one description of God is wrong - a 99.999...% chance.

0.999...(repeated) = 1. Most people agree with this, unless they're cuntards.

Proof:
x = 0.999...
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.999... - 0.999...
9x = 9
x = 1
0.999... = 1

Therefore, 99.999...% = 100%. Therefore, there is a 100% chance that Christianity is wrong. :D

A recurring decimal point dosent make a whole number... no matter how long that decimal point goes. Stop rounding up percentages and using them as proof. because your proof is wrong. noone, can prove/disprove the existance of god.... its just one of those things with no solution.

I'm not a christian btw.

Hrm... Well... Ugh...
I think we have a winner!

Texts and documents. The 10 Commandments, the Bible, etc.

That's where you're wrong. You don't know these calculations, you're guessing. For all we know, it could be a %50, but we'd need a conversation of all religions, grouped together, debating on who's real to figure that out.

some elementary-school equation, .999999999=1

Ooh, the big boy went to his math lesson. I learned about this equation many years ago, but it's nothing special. You, however, have to use it against God. This equation, however, has nothing to do with religion.

[botbrigade]

You're just being an idiot.

[GiantDouche]

Where does it say that there is a 99.999% chance that God isn't real? You don't need math to disprove religion. Just the logic of a 3 year old.

Nothing can be "Proven", but this is pretty damn close. I say we call this, "That-Is-Bull's Law of Gods", since it is a theory that can't really be disporven.

Now try disprove Water exist with mathematics.

Go on, do it math boy.

[JustAnotherUser]

wow, i'm always fascinated what kind of articles you can find on wikipedia.

Water is existent, so there is a 100% chance that water exists. Therefore, there is a 0% chance that anything else exists.

I just disproved anything but water. Beat that.

Your math is wrong.

x= gon give it to ya, HEY YO WHERE MY NG AT?

[elace]

dude ur math is all wrong

alright start with face book times it by x3 then take a cheez-it and use mathematical thought and see how they get all that cheese flavor in there and take some out put in as a denominator with god being on top and subtract 123432324325345435

so take 1234 323435345435 and times it by 1 getting u same number this is proof that the guy who posted the original post its A BITCH

[TNT]

Kudos to you..?

I don't know what to say actually.

[AnalogStick]

So the possibility of a Christian God not existing = 99.999 = 100%
The possibility of X God not existing = 99.999 = 100%
The probability of any God not existing is hence 0%, which is not according to learned people who study science and the creation of the unvierse think that the possibility of any God/Creator NOT existing is so improbable that it is IMPOSSIBLE, or in other words Chance of a God existing = 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999.........9% = 100%. Which is contradictory to your proof, hence you are wrong.

[Zerok]

Unless [insert specific God here] transcends mathematical logic, which is simply a language constructed by humans to help them understand the world around them.

You cannot conclusively prove or disprove this with any tool, since the argument is that the tools you would need to do so are forever and will forever be beyond your scope.

And like that, your "proof" is dismantled.

[SeaBoundRhino]

This is wrong for a very simple reason. The number 0.0000....1 would only be right if religions picked their views of God at random. Completely at random. While many atheists believe that this is the case, all religions feel that they have evidence to go on when describing God. Thus making your numbers false and the argument wrong.

Also, I'm not saying there is or isn't a God, I just wanted to point out the obvious.

[2r0x0rs4you]

Are you a fucking humanist or a fucking agnostic? I've killed at least one hooker of each of the aforementioned archetypes.

wait...

He provided an inescapable proof that 0.99... = 1.
x=0.99999...

0.99999...*10= 9.99999....
x*10=10x

9.99999... - 0.99999... = 9
10x-x=9x

9/9=1
9x/9=x

x=1

Here's another argument, perhaps a slightly easier one to understand.

0.3333... = 1/3
3*0.3333... = 3*1/3
3*1/3 = 1

3*0.3333... = 0.9999...

0.9999... = 1

Don't worry, it's a common mistake and it took me ages to wrap my head around it (indeed, I just accept it as being true, rather than knowing so)....

Also, I'd like to point out that
1 - 0.00...1 DOES NOT equal 0.99...

Lifted from the wikipedia talk page:

"Q: Can't "1 - 0.999..." be expressed as "0.000...1"?
A: No. "0.000...1" is not a meaningful string of symbols because, although a decimal representation of a number has a potentially infinite number of decimal places, each of the decimal places is a finite distance from the decimal point; the meaning of digit d being k places past the decimal point is that the digit contributes d · 10-k toward the value of the number represented. It may help to ask yourself how many places past the decimal point the "1" is. It cannot be an infinite number of places, because all places must be finite. Also ask yourself what would be the value of 0.00...1/10. If a real number divided by 10 is itself, then that number must be 0."

But is 0.3333333...=1/3 in the first place? Strictly it doesn't. It's just as close as we can get.
I'm not saying you're wrong or that God exists or anything of the sort. I'm just genuinely interested.

[NinjaSalad]

Take your findings to the pope! I'm sure he will cast his hat off and stomp on it.

I think the whole; finding bones from x million years ago is proof enough, yet they still say god made the world 2009 years ago lawl.

[McZero]

Ok cuntbag you can disprove gods. Why? Because you are a cunt. Stop, really there is no reason to do this. I am not BAWWWWWWWWWWNG. It's just that you're being a giant douche.

It's not rounding up:

1/9 = .1111...
2/9 = .2222...
3/9 = .3333...
4/9 = .4444...
5/9 = .5555...
6/9 = .6666...
7/9 = .7777...
8/9 = .8888...

So by power of deduction...

9/9 = .9999... = 1

[All-American-Badass]

The point you give that god can be anything will not be believed by christain or jewish faith, due to one of the first verses in the bible that said "God created man in his own image" therefore God must look like man. But in the Hindu and Budhist faith, which have many gods, the point that god can be anything is believable seeing how theres a god for nearly every aspect of life in those religions

Yeah, which is why the whole religious debate should be left in the forum of philosophy rather than science and math. To try and argue for/against it science and/or math terms is completely fruitless, IMO.

Actually in Christianity, that was when Jesus was born, not when the world was made. CHECK YOUT FACTS!
