"Atheism or Belief: Which is Evidence Based?" A Dialogue with Dr Arif Ahmed and Ayyaz Mahmood Khan
www.therealdialogue.org
Filmed at 61 Whitehall on 1st April 2015
"Can we prove that God exists?” is a question often heard in our schools, universities, places of worship and beyond. The answer has bearing not only on the individual, but on our social, political and scientific culture at large.
What are the processes by which we can understand whether God exists or not? Does science have any say in the matter? Does religious scripture offer unequivocal evidence of the divine?
Our two speakers for the event are prominent Atheist Arif Ahmed, senior lecturer of Philosophy at Cambridge University and Ayyaz Mahmood Khan, scholar of comparative religion from the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. BBC news reporter and documentary maker Catrin Nye chairs a fascinating and revealing dialogue.

Thank you Ayyaz
Amazing discussion, both speakers were respectful and brought many valid points, Ayyaz Khan surprised me, I think he made a lot of sense, I look forward for other discussions like this

It's our challenge till now if any arab want to accept the challenge come and write a book in better Arabic then we will share some parts of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ)'s books and that Arab'S book and any scholar have to separate them by Which one's Arabic is better. Is Mirza Sahib (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) book is not better than Arabs arabic books then we will now follow him. No one ever accepted this challenge. Dear friend brother. We never force anyone to join Ahmadiyyat we explain them our belives then we ask them to pray. ALLAH ﷻ guides people. And I ask you the same just pray from ALLAH he will guide you.

"Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors." (Quran 5.32)
A point to keep in mind: prophecies need not be about human actions (which may give you worry that someone knew of the prophecy and purposely fulfilled it); they can also be about events not controlled by people. You can prophesy a natural disaster, an influenza outbreak, the discovery of some species, etc.

Absolutely. I think that this was a trick missed for the Atheist case. For otherwise, as you explain, prophecies, by virtue of some not being fulfilled YET, are in-falsifiable and therefore all prophecies are invalid. I submit that it is a virtual impossibility to retrospectively prove that a fulfilled prophecy be false.

The arguments presented by Ayyaz are in actuality the arguments of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) very powerful.
To Arif: consider the number pi. Does it exist? If you say, it's obvious pi= C/d!! But it's still, which number it is? Some might say pi=3.1, some pi=3.14, some pi= 3.141 and some pi=3.1415... I might still argue it's still not specific enough...even if as today we have arrived at trillion digits after 3! Accepting that there exists a number like pi, even how unspecific it is, is analogous to satge 1 in religion i.e accepting that there is a God based on some sort of evidence or rationality. Stage 2 consists of making that perception/intution a certainty like in trying to approximate the value pi to ever and ever greater degrees of accuracy. It is the same with God, Who is infinite, we approach Him in degrees- we go from levels to levels of certainty and it's an infinite journey...

Peace4everynation which ones? I don't consider myself sectarian even though I may disagree with someone I don't see it as my duty to force my beliefs on others to the contrary I detest it. There is no compulsion in religion (Qur'an)
I hear the old textbook logical fallacy here - the genetic fallacy, which tries to invalidate someone's belief based upon how they arrived at that belief. For example, it matters not that I discovered that the world is round while reading a comic book. That in no way proves that such a belief is false simply because I might have discovered it in such a simple manner. The same thing can be said about belief in Christianity or a theistic understanding. Whether my parents taught me this, if I learned it in Sunday School, if someone gave me a book written by a Christian author, or if I discovered Christianity by reading about the works of Christ in the New Testament, or whatever other way I might have come to that conclusion, how I arrived at it does nothing to disprove it. Truth stands upon its own merit not by how one has discovered it.

It doesn't mean it is false. But it means you are not justified. So you should adjust your credence back to what it was before you read the information.
1:00:00 - :1:07:00 The whole discussion of prophecy is fraught, but his point at 1:07:48 is PRECISELY the problem people have with most claims for prophecy, particularly from Abrahamic religion. He's RIGHT that saying "That guy is going to walk down here and shake my hand" would not classify as prophecy because that guy could walk down and do that, and no divine intervention is required. Someone could decide to do that for other reasons, including in order to appear to support the prophecy to bolster Dr Ahmed's claim. So it is with the Quran's claim to endurance, or it's claim to be memorisable, or the Bible's claim of Israel's enemies being overthrown at time of history, or whatever. These are not predictions but vague claims, and indeed claims that are of a certain nature that incentivises people attempting to fulfill them themselves. They are self-fulling. This is a problem because, barring something clearly supernatural and specific like "tomorrow at 9:00am GMT everyone's skin will turn inside out for 42 minutes and then go back to normal", virtually all possible prophecy is potentially susceptible to this problem. If there is any such doubt about a prophecy, it becomes unable to stand as a proof of a deity. But to be honest, I think prophecy is a much less useful indicator in principle than, say, God simply imparting information. A treatise on special relativity would be great, even if it did take centuries before anyone could make actual sense of it. That would at the very least indicate the source for these texts was not human. And with any prophecy, we also have to establish a critical text to be sure that all elements of the given prophecy really do pre date the events they have been interpreted to fulfill. For both the Quran and the Old Testament that can get extremely sketchy in several places, for different kinds of reasons.

@@indipacifician3693 Hehehe you are funy. That's not a prophecy, you are making a projection or an estimation. Scientists can do that too (e.g climate change, drought etc). A prophet claims to be a prophet because of a revelation sent by God. In Islam, we are taught that there are 124,000 prophets sent to the entire world (including Chinese prophets, African prophets, Indigenous prophets etc). A fake prophet can also claim to be a prophet and one can tell from their fate/ their prophecies whether or not they are truthful. Also, many prophecies can be cross checked. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that there will come a time when there will be flying devices with large wings and people will sit inside this thing and yet not get hurt. It says that it will travel very fast. This is a prophecy from the 7th century. Also, he said that there will come a time when men will turn into women and women into men..(i.e the growing trans movement). These are modern phenomenon he could not have known. Oh also, he prophecized the discovery of the Big Bang and the expansion of the universe. These are the type of prophecies I am talking about, by an illiterate man in the middle of the desert.
So believe in God you have nothing to loose. So the Muslim speaker just re-told a very old argument in 20 minutes, what a waste of time. PLUS the donkey thing!!! Show me me this in the Ko2an or a7adeeth
I'm less than 5 minutes in and already the moderator is making me want to vomit. The whole "I've got everyone pegged, people of all views and stances are so narrow minded, but not _me_, _I'm_ different, _I'm_ above all that..." - oh, shut up. You're not smarter or more intelligent than other people just because you've been to places like Syria, and just because you refuse to take stance on anything lest you be pigeonholed into a category. The whole 'summing up how everyone else thinks' thing, to make yourself feel like you're 'above' them all, is pathetic, and goes completely against the supposed 'intellectual' stance you're trying to take.
Ayyaz claim that prophecies can't be specific is just false. What he actually wants to do is avoid self fulfilling prophecies, but that has nothing to do with specificity - just whether it's feasible for someone to read the prophecy and then go out and fulfill it himself. For example, this is a highly specific prophecy that would impress me: "On September 4th, 2023 a man will be born who can levitate with the power of his mind." Highly specific and completely impossible to fake. However, a major problem with prophecy in general is that unless the event in question is magical in nature, it usually can be faked - or at least it will be very hard to rule out both that the writer couldn't know X and that X wasn't performed by someone on purpose, and if you can't rule it out with enormous confidence, then the "prophecy" will of course not be evidence for the existence of a being whose existence might be impossible to begin with. And if the event is magical, then you probably wouldn't need the prophecy to convince people to begin with.

What is the mathematical probability that he could get all those details right? Even less probable, when his society hadn't even seen a bicycle.

Well, I've actually tested the prophecy on classes of five and six year olds. I simply told them: Here's a riddle, and then read out the details of the prophecy without giving them any hints to what it might mean. Invariably, they suggested: "I know, it's an aeroplane!" within three minutes. That suggests to me that the Prophet's analogy was very successful. It was meant to be understood by people of our modern era, and it is. Some people will continue to object, whatever we throw at them. They'll find all their answers after death, I guess.

I belong to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and I am one of those who has seen dreams which have come true literally in my lifetime. This is the blessing of being a follower of the Messiah of the age, foretold by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and past prophets: In 2004 I saw a dream there would be war in Libya, then Syria, then world war 3, then after these events, I saw people coming together and singing beautifully, "Laailaaha Illallah Muhammadar Rasoolullah". "There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah". I have no doubt in my mind that the remainder of this dream will come true. I was totally unaware that there could be war in these areas, I honestly didn't even know where Libya was on the map. I was uninterested in politics. Yet, God showed me this dream and I swear on my life, that this is true!! I am surprized no one took on Ayaaz Sahib's challenge of prayer. That would be a perfect chance to prove those who believe in God, wrong.
Belief in God is started and is promoted by Saints and Mystics and their disciples. There was no Jews before Abraham, No Christians before Christ, No Buddhists before Buddha, and No Sikhs before Nanak etc. God from a scientific perspective is taught to man by a man who knows God and he in return wants his followers to live a life according to higher principles and morals so that the society elevates itself from suffering. Such saints, mystics or prophets sets as an example for their disciples to follow. This is mans mental problem of ignoring the science that leads to enlightenment.

Its Hadees mentioned in Books of Hadees(Saying of Prophet PBUH). Not in Quran
A very myopic approach by Arif on his justifications of rejecting religion. One must remain within the laws that governs an entity rather then create your own laws for it and reject it! Mathematics, science are material laws and those who study it benefit. In the same why religion is the study of spiritual laws, in other words the moral laws. Believing in something and not acting upon it is of no use. Mathematics, science are the same no matter which part of the world you are. In the same way morality is the same. These only differ by those who do not study it but rather base it on their limited intellect. To benefit from anything one must be honest, impartial. If you accept a moral code that is diametrically apposed to the one presented by God it will have a negative affect on one’s progeny. Prophets are the law givers of morality, they were sent through the ages to educate mankind. Islam is the summit of religious evolution. All those who reject God have created their own god and hence reject this self created god because it is based on human intellect which is not without errors. Knowledge is never a waste if it is approached correctly and acted upon. LOVE FOR ALL HATRED FOR NONE
1:39:11 - I'm honestly surprised by Ayyaz's take here. For him to say that there could be atheists in heaven, must it by extension mean that it's possible to sincerely rationalize Islam away in favor of another way of life and still receive God's mercy?

The fact that you have this on your profile description clearly shows why you've left Islam and Ahmadiyyat; "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." Namely that you don't enjoy rules.
This diatribe on prophecy is nothing short of a "Who's On First" routine. Nice try, bud, but you're jumping through some hilariously silly hoops, data-fitting, there to justify your specific interpretation. Prophecies that can only be verified ex post facto are not prophecies at all.
Arif Ahmed is a horrible shaver..
30:40 That depends what you mean by "directly observe" - things can be demonstrated, measured and investigated without "seeing" as such. We cannot see the air e.g. but it's existence can be demonstrated beyond any doubt. The same CANNOT BE SAID for the existence of a god or gods - that's the problem! All you've got is: "my book says so".
Did somebody forget that faith is faith? And that science is science? Neither one can prove, nor disprove the other.
The complexity of how the entire Earth and Universe is designed perfectly, as well as, the entirety of life on Earth and how and why we have the ability to think, feel emotions, grow and eat food etc. Is beyond human comprehension and no human being can explain this; it is clear evidence of the existence of God to think otherwise I believe that God has placed a seal on your heart

Touge Thrasher Which Islam are you talking about? That is not the teaching which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) taught us. He says, a muslim is one who proclaims the Kalima, "There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah". This is what we recite, affirming that we are muslims!! So I don't know whose edict you are referring to. Our Islam is the Islam which prophet Muhammad taught us, not based on a consensus based off a group of differing Islamic thoughts, each considering eachother infidels. And you just falsified yourself, saying that one who believes in a prophet after invalidates himself as a muslim. Then on the other hand you say Jesus is still alive. Is he not a prophet who lives today after the prophet Muhammad according to muslims today? And you also answered your own question regarding Jesus.. He was not crucified, meaning he did not die on the cross, yet other verses confirm his natural death. That verse comes to mind, Muhammad was only a messenger of God, verily all messengers have passed away before him. And yes, Jesus is one of those messengers!! Jesus is said to be raised to Allah. Well, Prophet Idris has also mentioned as being raised to a lofty station. This means raised in spiritual status, not physical. No where in the Quran you can find this word used for physical rising. Lastly, Muhammad was the last law bearing prophet, the seal of propheets. Prophets under him can come, since he foretold the coming of the messiah, who would be a prophet after him. However, he would be subordinate to the Prophet of Islam. His purpose is only to reform Islam. To bring it back to the original teaching. This is the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. Peace!

Ayaz got into his own trap at 1:00:00 during the debate where he claimed if a single prophecy of Mirza Ghulam is proved to be not fulfilled then it will be enough evidence that his claim is false. I provide two examples: 1. His prophecy about death of Abdullah Atham by a specific date was not fulfilled as a result a large number of his followers abandoned him 2. His multiple prophecies about his marriage with a relative girl called Muhammadi Begum were never fulfilled This proves that not only his claims were false but also cast a serious doubt about the truthfulness of other such claimants of receiving revelation. Rest his most prophecies were very vague and a subject to interpretation by his followers.

Abdullah Atham did repent and he did not die. The prophecy of his death was conditional, and so the condition was met that he did not die. Source: www.alislam.org/library/history/ahmadiyya/13.html #2 Muhammadi Begum was prophesied to either get married to the Promised Messiah (as), or if her father made her marry someone else, then her father would die if he did not repent and her husband would die if he did not repent. Her father did not repent to God so he did die within six months of the marriage, but her husband repented, and published in a newspaper after some years after the Promised Messiah's (as) death that he did not oppose the Promised Messiah (as) and considered him a righteous person. This also being a conditional prophecy was fulfilled as well. Source: www.alislam.org/books/truth/prophecy.html There is no vagueness about conditional prophecies, only a misunderstanding of them.

Mirza sahib's writings are very clear about both prophecies. atham never repented and According to Seerat aL mehdi Mirza sahib prayed with his companions and waited for the news till last moment but his prophecy didn't fulfil. Regarding muhammadi Begum, the whole story is a complete shame. Mirza was pushing himself on the poor girl as if she was not a human but a piece of flesh. His prophecies are well published and the excuses you are making pathetic. Mirza's god made promises to him but failed to fulfil any.

saqibtahir Abdullah Atham's account can be read in Nuzul-al-Masih, where the Promised Messiah (as) himself explained everything regarding it. What you've said is a fabrication. As or Muhammadi Begum the Promised Messiah (as) said he had no desire to marry her, but the prophecy regarding her marriage was a sign from God which had to do with regards to her father, and had little to do with Muhammadi Begum herself. He already had a wife and he had children by that time already, and he was past 40 years of age already. And since his prophecies are well-published, I'd expect someone such as yourself to have learnt a little more about them.

saqibtahir The prophecies about Muhammadi Begum was fullfilled similar to the Prophecy of Hadhrad Yonus. every prophecy like these contains some condition that if they ask forgiveness of Allah than Allah Talah will forgive them. Also for your information that Muhammadi Begum progeny accepted Ahmadiyyat later on and they are well devoted Ahmadi Muslims. so if the prophecy would not be fulfil than how come the family would have accepted Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a true Prophet of the time?

Atham didn't die within given timeframe. How can you say the prophecy was fulfilled. Same is the case of Muhammadi. The repeated prophecies that poor innocent underage girl will marry him, no matter what, never fulfilled. This whole story is nothing but a case of harassment by an old schizophrenic person that miserably failed to fulfil his lustful objective. Rest is all ifs and buts. These are two famous cases but there are many more. The whole point is that whenever a prophecy is made with specific detail it failed.
I don't care how civilized you are, if the theory of evolution is worth more to you than Jesus Christ, You're not in your right mind.

saqibtahir Just how was he wrong about that? If you believe in a document which has 100 statements, one of which is false, then you do not believe in the whole document, but only 99 statements of the document. You would say "I do not believe in this document, since it is not completely correct". You can only say you completely follow a document when all 100 statements are correct. The Promised Messiah (as) always challenged everyone that if he was found false in just one of his claims, then he is false. Anyone who challenged him was proven false for trying to prove him false. Without fail.

the moon did not actually split into two pieces; rather, it appeared to spectators as if it had been rent asunder, by the power of God. It should be known that before the power of God, nothing is impossible. One who believes that this entire universe came into being by the Hand of God cannot show reluctance in believing, even for a moment, that if God Wills, He can annihilate the whole of it by a single command. However, as far as this occurrence is concerned the moon did not physically split.
The title of this debate is a non sequitur as atheism is not based on evidence, as atheist reject theist claims dur to the fact that they see no evidence for their claims. It is no better than saying atheism is a belief system even though it is all about unbelief.

Hello EveryOne: Whole concept of religion held by Dr Arif is wrong; and based on that wrong concept an utter invalid argument has been presented. Consider, for an example, politics and economics, they have developed as human mind and societies have developed. Namely, development of human mind and societies makes development of economics and politics inevitable. That's to say, it's not a matter of choice to have or not to have politics and economics; for, human societies cannot exist without leaderships, and leaderships cannot exists without having some sort of political system. Similarly, as agrarian societies started developing, development of economies became inevitable; and so development of market. By the same token, as human mind and societies started developing, development of religions became inevitable; and that's why over 80% of the world population is religious. What one can conclude is that, the universe is a system; and every system has a logic behavior, or pattern of behavior. This is the most convincing scientific evidence that religions are true. Therefore, Dr Arif, your whole argument that religions are false is absurd. Now, the question is whether God exists, or not; but that's another argument which I forego doing here now.

While I would really love to see a double-blind independently run prayer study be done, my gut tells me that Ahmadiyya Muslim leadership will have since vetoed the brave and sincere offer from Ayyaz Mahmood Khan on behalf of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. See time index 1:54:10 to 1:55:30 of this debate for the relevant clip. If I am wrong, I would be happy to be corrected and to learn that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is actively following up on getting a prayer study done. In the past, such studies have been done and failed. I've referenced one in a past tweet: twitter.com/ReasonOnFaith/status/816066019433283584. Since Ahmadiyyat places a lot of emphasis on prayer being the way we attain that certainty, and that God still speaks to man, etc. -- it would be an odd thing if a scientifically sound prayer study was _not_ pursued by this religious community. The theist and atheist communities should work together to promote this idea and facilitate making it happen. Let's do this!

We cannot demand that he needs to show himself to everyone. Yet, we would be able to see him in afterlife. Is this god incapable of presenting himself to us in a form that would convince most if not all of his existence? Then why do you call him omnipotent. This god seems like a teacher who never comes to the class, but still fails everyone who didn't score well because at least they were given the books, only that failing in this case means burning in hell forever.

Presumably, we are talking about an event such as... the election of an half African American president in the U.S. in the first part of the 21st Century. The confluence of events that made this possible is mind boggling, especially with his middle name and following 9-11. It was unstoppable. So what good is prophecy in the first place? What about 9-11? That had a direct impact on the Muslim "conversation" and millions of lives worldwide. It was preventable and a prophecy would mean it was unstoppable. Prophecy: What connection does that have to claims of a soul, heaven, hell, angels, and as I learned recently, witches? The whole line of argument was a terrible waste of time; Ayyaz managed to keep anything else off the table by using it.

Dustin Leonard True what you said above. But I am reasoning baseline from the Quran (Ahmadiyya interpretations). Here from its Quranic readings Satan/Devil does exist except as forces in man pushing him to do evil/disobey God's commandments or rebel etc. It does not exist independently going here and there doing mischief etc. Knowing that God for sure and still disobey means that you have achieved 100% certainty on Him though you may believe in His existence. Because certainty=obedience/compliance. Eg if you are sure that a bottle contains poison, then you'll certainly not drink it. Knowledge=appropriate reaction. So in general though many people claim to be believers their % compliance = % achieved certainty in God, explaining the doing of evil by believers in god as well.

Why would anyone pay this Muslim to speak? HIs entire opening statement was a slew of fallacious reasoning that wouldn't earn him a passing grade in a high school level philosophy class..His claimed that we accept things on testimony, such as our Mother telling us who our father is. I have three points on this. 1) As children, we all accept the word of authority, until we reach a sufficient age to question things for our selves. 2) Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The identity of ones parents is not a great claim, so it is no surprise one might at least temporarily accept it based on testimony and based on all the corroborating evidence you find out about as you grow up....extreme similarity in appearance and other traits being just one example. 3) There are many many people who, once they reach an age to question things for themselves, will question the identity of a parent due to lack of corroborating evidence over their lifetime and some contradictory evidence. These people often investigate, require more evidence and often time find out that the claim was false.So do we accept the identity of parents on faith? Yes, but only up to a point...and when the consistency of the claim is not bearing out, then we start to ask questions. In the same way, many of us accepted a certain religious view on faith as children before we reached an age to questions things for ourselves and require more rigorous evidence when the original claim are not matching reality.

The lovely thing about thinking critically is being free of religious clerics mumbo jumbo and finding wonder in the natural world.
Watched all of it
(42:29) "Mirza Ghulam Ahmad ... also claimed to be a prophet of God" ... And I thought that prophet Muhammad was supposed to be the last prophet.

The last law bearing prophet, since all Muslim believe that Jesus will return as a prophet.

One interpretation must be right and the other must be wrong then. Why can't Allah be clear in his message so that there can only be one interpretation? Answer: It is all man-made.

+Sam O it is crystal clear if you read ALL his messages and not only one or like many many do: taking some words out of context. this way nothing would make sense at all. If I would pick a part of your comment it would not represent your opinion anymore. If Allah would mention every single case specifically, the Holy Quran would have million pages who nobody would read. Verses can apply to different situations, God gave us except His book, a mind to decide what is right and wrong.

Clearly it cannot be crystal clear even if you read ALL of the messages since even Muslim scholars disagree in the interpretation of various messages, let alone the many people who left the Islam after investigating it and thinking about it for themselves.

+Sam O well first of all you should compare how many muslims leave Islam but at the same time how many more enter Islam every single year. There are more who become muslims, than leave Islam. So why should people enter Islam after doing their investigations? If Islam would be wrong not a single person would enter it who has been atheist, christian etc before. And the second main point is: for what reason do people leave Islam? It is definitely not because they have read all teachings and disagreed with them. Most of these people wont be even able to tell what the Holy Quran says about certain things. They wont be able to tell what the prophet of God said and did. Someone who truely investigates the teachings of Islam will stick to it no matter what others say. But someone who is insecure about it and doesnt do any investigations but rather listen to for example medias etc will leave it without searching for the truth.
Anecdote, flawed analogies, appeals to subjectivism and emotion... same old, same old weak ass shit. However, I was surprised to hear significant time spent on revelation and retroactive scripture exegesis. He'd get along very well with all of the Christian Americans who so eagerly await the destruction of the world based on their own post-hoc interpretations of their magic books. Terrifyingly saddening.
YAWN! BORING...
A waste of time
neckbeard :p
