A Kiwi Perspective - Why God Doesn't Exist Based On Evidence From The Dead Sea Scrolls
Kia ora, I’m your host Graham and welcome back to A Kiwi Perspective, the podcast where we dive deep into issues that matter to everyday New Zealanders and our global audience.
Today’s kaupapa is one of the big ones, originating from a conversation with a couple of good mates Alan and Peter, a conversation many dodge, and not without reason.
We’re asking: Can we disprove the existence of God... using the Dead Sea Scrolls?
Now that’s a challenge. One that stirs up all sorts of reaction—from quiet discomfort to full-throated defense. And I get it. In Aotearoa, belief and spirituality come in many forms. Some of us were raised with the Bible on the kitchen table. Others with karakia and kōrero that stretch back to the stars of Te Korekore—the realm of potential.
So, this isn’t about mocking faith. It’s about questioning power. Who holds it. Who claims it. And who writes it down in ink and says it came from heaven.
Because here’s the thing: when scripture becomes law, and belief becomes statecraft, we’re no longer talking about spirituality—we’re talking about control.
And the Dead Sea Scrolls? They reveal just how manufactured, how mutable, and how politically charged that control really is.
