argument for the existence of god

When is God the most Plausible Answer?

April 7, 2011

Many of the arguments for the existence of God are centered around the idea that there are certain situations where God is more plausible than a natural explanation.  The Cosmological Argument claims that God is more plausible for the creation of everything than any natural explanation.  The Teleological Arguments claim that God is more plausible [...]

Calculating The Probability That God Exists

August 5, 2010

I came across a tweet today that said, “Either God exists or he doesn’t.  I’m happy with my 50%”  That seems true on its face, but there are multiple possibilities, and each time you add a possibility, the odds of any particular God existing get slimmer. How to Determine Chances for Existence If all we [...]

Why Presuppositional Appologetics Fails

July 29, 2010

I recently ran into someone that claimed that presuppositional arguments for the existence of God were the best arguments.  Gabe, you know who you are.  Anyway, we had some interesting discussions, and he seemed very knowledgeable about apologetics in general, and even seemed to understand that there were no actual proofs of the existence of [...]

What all Arguments for the Existence of God Fail At.

March 11, 2010

Imagine you had a house in the woods that was extremely secluded.  You walk out to the main road to your mailbox and when you get back to the house you notice that the walls are covered in random magic marker scribblings.  You didn’t see anyone coming or going from your house, and you are [...]

William Lane Craig’s Paradigm Paradox

March 7, 2010

Wow, I’m sorry to be writing about this again so soon after addressing it the last time, but every time I turn around I am coming up with more problems with the argument from moral authority.  Now, this can be considered to be the explanation of why the suggested third option for the moral dilemma [...]

William Lane Craig’s Ontological Argument Debunked

February 28, 2010

William Lane Craig has many arguments for the existence of God, and one of them is the ontological argument.  He actually uses Plantinga’s ontological argument.  I would have to say that the ontological argument is his weakest though since it can be easily turned around to prove that God doesn’t exist.  This may be why [...]

The Great Coffee Pot Doesn’t Care if You Believe in Him.

February 27, 2010

There is one truth in life, and that is that reality doesn’t care whether or not you believe in it.  I can’t think of anything or anyone that does.  I don’t care if anyone believes in my existence, and I think that anyone that would worry about such a stupid thing is insane. The Great [...]

Does Big Bang Theory Prove the Universe Began From Nothing?

February 26, 2010

Well, I have been dealing with a few theists that believe that the big bang proves that the universe had a beginning.  I’m tired of retyping this, so I figured I would make a nice handy blog post that I can turn these people to. The Big Bang How far we’ve come since the big [...]

Circular Reasoning and the Primacy of God

February 22, 2010

When dealing with arguments for the existence of God, we often end up in a circular reasoning situation.  This is necessary, simply because of the nature of the argument.  If you say that God is the source for something, but hold that nothing precedes God, that all becomes necessarily circular. If you say, God is [...]

Argument From Moral Authority Debunked AGAIN!

February 22, 2010

I previously discussed and debunked the argument from moral authority.  While I showed that it could not be proven one way or the other, I feel I can fully debunk the argument now. The Argument There is an objective source for morals, therefore a moral statement is either true or false. God is the best [...]
