In laboratories today we can induce “religious experiences”[15] by stimulating certain parts of the brain. The only way that injustices and evils would suggest a moral plan would be if they followed a specific repeatable pattern. So it seems to me that the type and number of “evils” in the world point toward a universe with no supernatural or metaphysical arbiter of right and wrong. Argument from IncredulityFrank Pastore: “Please explain how something can come from nothing, how life can come from non-life, how mind can come from brain, and how our moral senses developed from an amoral source.”We don’t know what came before the big bang. We are finite creatures with finite technical ability. As for life? Well I’m surprised that someone who hosts a show dedicated to apologetics and ministry has never bothered to read about abiogenesis and the science of life. So there will always be doubt where there are gaps but doubt and uncertainty doesn’t dissuade me from my belief that given all the information at my disposal it is rational to conclude that there probably isn’t a god. The Teleological ArgumentGreg Koukl: “Why is something here rather than nothing here? Clearly, the physical universe is not eternal (Second Law of Thermodynamics, Big Bang cosmology). Either everything came from something outside the material universe, or everything came from nothing (Law of Excluded Middle). However these are purely speculative. And what’s even more interesting is that these questions and many of my replies are boilerplate material. These are standard theist and christian points used universally from apologists on down to street preachers.
