For more than a millennium, philosophers and theologians have contested the existence of God. From my perspective, it seems that atheists attack theists in hopes of disproving the existence of God so that they will find some comfort in their dark view of the existence of humanity. McCloskey, an avowed atheist, wrote an article titled "Being an Atheist" in which he examined and attempted to refute three arguments that he believed convinced many theists of the existence of God. These three arguments are called cosmological proof, teleological proof and design argument. While McCloskey's article may resonate with some atheists and appears to be a valid attack on theistic belief, it fails to land any real blows and instead shows the disparity that accompanies atheist beliefs. In his article, McCloskey uses the term “evidence” instead. only arguments when discussing the three ideas he considers to be the most motivating forces of theistic beliefs. In the article he states that we must “bring ordinary theists toward their theism” (3). He believes that these “evidences” do not offer definitive proof that God exists beyond any doubt; therefore, belief in God should be completely abandoned. For someone who claims to believe in a worldview based on autonomy and science, this is completely contradictory. For example, with the same mindset and approach to arguments, an atheist should in turn abandon evolutionary theory because it cannot be definitively proven. After viewing the presentation, Christians refute atheists' rebuttals to these arguments. The Bible and the knowledge of God and creation offer explanations for many people middle of paper. Atheists are not the only ones who can assert themselves rationally and find solutions to problems. Someone with a biblical worldview can do this too, but they know that all things are part of God's plan and that through Him we have a purpose. Craig sums this up perfectly when he says: “So if there is no God, then life itself no longer has meaning. Man and the universe have no ultimate meaning” (2). This idea that we don't face anything on our own is much more comforting to me than the "me against the world" view that atheists adhere to. Works Cited Evans and Manis.
