Dean Overman writes in A Case Against Accident and Self-Organization :
“Conundrum: if logical thinking is an accident, is it trustworthy? Or, to modify the enigma, is it probable that accidents will accurately describe other previous accidents? The concept that the universe and our existence were the products of accidents means that all our thinking is merely the accidental result of accidents.

The “Where did God come from?” atheist argument is the self-described “central argument” of Richard Dawkins’ famous atheist book titled “The God Delusion.” William Lane Craig responds to the “Where did God come from?” argument, and the argument that God must be more complex than what he created, in the context of responding to Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion:

Religious belief in God, and Christian belief that God became Man around two thousand years ago, may seem strange to common-sense thinking.

Imagine if Thomas Jefferson had chosen to put these words in the Declaration of Independence instead of his actual words, which reference our Creator as… Read More
If atheist reasoning is correct, mindless natural processes do God’s job of creating life just fine, and God is therefore unnecessary for the origin of life. But, to paraphrase a statement made by Ronald Reagan, “The trouble with our atheist friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.”
Natural processes cannot create life
Everyday experience illustrates how natural process do the exact… Read More
