than the alphabets. There are diverse schools of thought about the subject, God; in theism, God is creator and controller of the world. In Pantheism, God is the universe, while in deism; God is the creator of the universe, but not the sustainer. In atheism, God does not exit, while in agnosticism, God is unknown. In today’s message, I will tell you more about God without exaggeration. The LORD wants His children to know more about His greatness. For instance, He revealed Himself to Enoch,…

The “siècle des Lumières” and accompanying French Revolution were, and often still are, characterized as mass movements of antagonism towards faith and religion. As the Catholic faith of the old regime crumbled, the revolutionary spirit of the time promised to do away with orthodoxy and create a new egalitarian society based on freedom. Ideas like these were fueled by the French philosophes, with thinkers like Voltaire referring to orthodox religion as “the mother of fanaticism and civil…

H.J. McCloskey conveyed an article called "On Being an Atheist," in the journal Question One. In his article, McCloskey makes a great degree connecting with illumination in why the conflict of God's existences misses the mark. This paper responds to McCloskey's conflicts by methods for a supernatural point of view. McCloskey attempted to show that secularism is an extensive sum more sensible, and pleasing than confidence in higher forces. McCloskey uses "confirm" instead of "theory" to add…

It does not subscribe to any of the diverse claims of traditional theisms. It challenges the views of atheism as well. It postulates that numerous possibilities can exist when it comes to the afterlife because we have no physical evidence of it. It is a thought provoking and interesting concept. Eagleman labels himself as a ‘Possibilian’, (source: http://www…

Paley with integrated complexity and Swinburne states that the complexity in the universe makes it more probable there is design and therefore a designer – God. Antony Flew also looks at integrated complexity and it was the reason he converted from atheism and theism. About DNA, Flew mentioned that the meeting of these two parts at the right time by chance is simply minute. It is all a matter of the enormous complexity by which the results were achieved, which looked to me like the work of…

H. J. McCloskey, The Atheist Proofs In the article “On Being an Atheist,” McCloskey delivers numerous opinions that seek to validate the non-existence of God. This argument is known as Atheism. He does this using quite a few claims made by theists. The claims are separated into numerous segments upon which he lays his contradicting opinions. In the beginning, he delivers a short summary of the arguments offered by theists. He refers to the theists as ‘proofs’ and claims that not a single…

Throughout Hume’s Dialogues, Philo takes the position of the skeptic, questioning the arguments of both Cleanthes and Demea. If it were not for his occasional approbation of God’s existence, the reader would be led to consider him an atheist. This makes it all the stranger when, in Part XII, he suddenly supports an argument for God’s existence from design. Far from criticizing the design argument, as he does a number of times earlier in the dialogues, he says that “no man can be so hardened… as……

Defense, Critique and Integration of the 4 Apologetic Methods Defense of Fideism To approach apologetics is to seek to fulfill the command of Scripture “always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you” In light of this, the believer ought to approach apologetics as the overflow of their relationship with Jesus. Approaching apologetics from the fideist perspective is to embrace the mystery and paradox of knowing God in faith, rather than…

parallel Lovecraft’s life in any way. Others might say that this poem is a commentary on Lovecraft’s beliefs on humanity and attitude about death. Further analysis of this work reveals that it is a somber poem highlighting Lovecraft’s forlorn character, atheism, and copious amounts of depression. We can see Lovecraft’s disbelief of the world and extreme cynicism being…

In the article On Being an Atheist H.J. McCloskey attempts to explain to us the “grounds upon which theists base their belief in God, of the inadequacy of these grounds and why Atheists believe that there is no God.” (p. 62) Throughout the article, McCloskey attempts to use these three proofs, the cosmological proof, the teleological proof, and the argument from design, to explain why theists are incorrect to believe in God. Although McCloskey has made a very strong case, he was not able to…
