Why randomness explains nothing.

Posted on August 25, 2017 By

God or Evolution? Why cite God as an explanation when random evolutionary processes do the work of creating life from non-living matter just fine? This is a core atheist argument which presents itself over and over again in atheist books and online forums. But, unfortunately for atheists, randomness is entirely useless as an explanation for the origin of life.

Why atheism is more than just a “non-belief” in God.

Posted on August 24, 2017 By

Andy Bannister humorously highlights the absurdity of this idea by telling a story about a guy who denies the existence of the nation of Sweden (in his book The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist): “You think that my denial… Read More

Why everyone is religious…or rather, nobody.

Posted on February 12, 2016 By

In the course of day-to-day conversation, virtually everyone has heard someone make the statement, “I am not religious,” in order to convey a lack of affiliation with theistic belief systems such as Christianity. But one can only doubt Christianity from the vantage point of another belief system, because everyone needs a belief system in order to make sense of one’s experience. Therefore, one can only be “not religious” from the… Read More
