A Scientific Demonstration of the Non-existence of God

 

by MikeGene

 

More and more leaders in the scientific community have uncovered the

non-existence of god. This scientific conclusion has been reviewed by

evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins[1], neuroscientist Sam Harris[2],

physicist Victor Stenger[3], and developmental biologist PZ Myers[4].

However, a literature search uncomfortably shows that none of these

scientists have ever conducted a single experiment to detect the existence

of god. Given that it is essential the scientific community rid the world of

irrational, deleterious god-belief, I have sought to rectify this situation

and provide these leading scientists with the data they clearly need.

 

Methods

 

Two sterile glasses were filled with 200 ml deionized water. While invoking

all possible gods, the researcher prayed that one glass of water would be

turned into wine. It was made clear to the putative deities that their

existence was being tested. The recited prayer read as follows:

 

Calling all gods, unicorns, flying spaghetti monsters, and other possible

magical beings. You are hereby being challenged in the Name of Science to

prove your existence within 24 hours by changing one of these glasses of

water into wine. These data will be shared with the world and your

reputation and existence is at stake. Please respond. Amen.

 

The glasses were then put into a safe recently purchased from WalMart. After

24 hours, the safe was opened and the glasses were inspected visually and

chemically.

 

Results

 

As can be seen from Figure 1, while one glass was prayed over, and the other

was shunned, both glasses contain a clear water-like liquid. The contents of

both glasses were then tested with the chemoreceptors in the researcher's

oral and nasal cavities. No wine was detected.

differences in the experimental and control groups.

 

Discussion

 

Religion is the root of all evil. As many leading scientists have shown, the

best way to eliminate this plague is to use the power of the scientific

method to demonstrate that god does not exist. This study represents the

first experiment that directly tests for the existence of god. Previous

studies have tested for the efficacy of prayer in a clinical setting[5], but

these studies were flawed in not making it clear to the putative deities

that their existence was being called into question.

 

The failure to turn water into wine (Figure 1) can only be explained by the

non-existence of deities, as deities, by definition, should have been able

to meet this scientific test. No further testing is required as Science has

now falsified god.
