   No scientific evidence of God's existence has been found. Therefore, according to scientific skeptic or scientist worldviews, whether or not God exists is unknown; or even, God does not exist (depending on the strength of such worldviews). [133]

   • The cosmological argument. The cosmological argument is fairly straightforward. A modern version of it reads: Whatever begins to exist must have a cause for its existence.
   • The problem of evil. The problem of evil is the most famous argument against the existence of an all-powerful and loving god. It’s also old. For example, it provides the central theme of the Book of Job in the Abrahamic traditions.
   • The teleological argument. Also known as “the argument from design,” the teleological argument claims the world’s complexity proves a designer exists. The argument is, again, rather straightforward
   • Russell’s teapot. One of the more whimsical arguments against the existence of any gods was put forward by Bertrand Russell. And like any member of the British aristocracy in good standing, the third Earl Russell invoked tea in his argument.

   In 1960 the Princeton physicist – and subsequent Nobel Prize winner – Eugene Wigner raised a fundamental question: Why did the natural world always – so far as we know – obey laws of mathematics? As argued by scholars such as Philip Davis and Reuben Hersh, mathematics existsindependent of physical reality. It is the job of mathematicians to discove...

   In 2004 the great British physicist Roger Penrose put forward a vision of a universe composed of three independently existing worlds– mathematics, the material world and human consciousness. As Penrose acknowledged, it was a complete puzzle to him how the three interacted with one another outside the ability of any scientific or other conventionall...

   The workings of human consciousness are similarly miraculous. Like the laws of mathematics, consciousness has no physical presence in the world; the images and thoughts in our consciousness have no measurable dimensions. Yet, our nonphysical thoughts somehow mysteriously guide the actions of our physical human bodies. This is no more scientifically...

   Evolution is a contentious subject in American public life. According to Pew,98 percent of scientists connected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science “believe humans evolved over time” while only a minority of Americans “fully accept evolution through natural selection.” As I say in my book, I should emphasize that I am not que...

   For the past 10,000 years at a minimum, the most important changes in human existence have been driven by cultural developments occurring in the realm of human ideas. In the Axial Age (commonly dated from 800 to 200 B.C.), world-transforming ideas such as Buddhism, Confucianism, the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, and the Hebrew Old Testament ...

   In his commencement address to Kenyon College in 2005, the American novelist and essayist David Foster Wallace said that: “Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.” Even though Karl Marx, for example, condemned the illusion of religion, his followers, ironically, worshiped Marxism. The American philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre t...

   • The Arguments for God's Existence Fail. Undoubtably, the most persuasive arguments for God's existence are the Kalam cosmological argument (which suggests that God caused the universe) and the fine-tuning theological argument (which suggests that God designed it).
   • The Kalam Cosmological Argument. The Kalam cosmological argument was originally formulated to make up for certain deficiencies in other cosmological arguments.Footnote 7 It gets its name from the ʿIlm al-Kalām, a Muslim school of thought, or ‘science of discourse’, used to defend Islam.
   • The Fine-Tuning Argument. The fine-tuning argument invokes God, not as an explanation for the universe's existence, but for its design. The basic idea is this: the laws and constants that make life possible in this universe seem to be balanced on a razor's edge for life; if any one of them were slightly different from what it is, life could not exist.
   • The Problem of Evil Succeeds. Perhaps the most common reason philosophers give for not believing in God is the presence of evil in the world. Rape, hunger, poverty, animal suffering, human misery, the holocaust … the list goes on. ‘

   Apr 1, 2020 · Contrary to popular belief, the problem of evil is not a good argument against God. It’s actually one of the best arguments for God. The problem with the problem of evil is that if God does not exist, there can be no real evil to object to. Here’s why.
