Existence of God Challenges
- There is no scientific evidence for the existence of God...just assertions.
- Atheism is the DEFAULT position. The burden of proof is on the Christian asserting God exists. All we're asking is to see the convincing emperical EVIDENCE.
- Can we really be certain that God exists? If there is one thing that’s obvious, it is that the existence of God is NOT obvious.
- I prayed, "Dear God, forgive me. I’m sorry. Jesus wasn’t a myth." No bear hugs from God. No ‘truth switch’ turned on. It’s still all nonsense. Why?
- If Christian arguments are sound and cogent, then why aren’t they universally accepted? Even many CHRISTIANS have objected to the propriety of even offering such arguments. Ever hear of Reformed Epistemology?
- Could God have used fallible people to write an infallible book?
- IF God exists, He’s maniacal. If He WANTED to forgive sin, He’s 'all-powerful' and 'all-loving' – He could just, SHAZAM, forgive sin. Instead, He sends down His only Son to be slaughtered and murdered to take care of the sin problem. Now THAT’S evil!
- If there is such good evidence for the existence of the Biblical God, why don’t more people believe in him? Are we just all 'suppressed'?!
- Isn’t it more plausible to suppose that all that exists is matter, since such an account posits only a single kind of substance whereas theistic accounts must posit something else in addition to matter? Ever heard of Ockham’s Razor?
- If the incredible complexity of the world requires an intelligence to explain its existence, wouldn’t this intelligence be all the more complex, and thus all the more in need of an intelligence to explain its existence?
