There Are No Positive Arguments FOR Atheism - Debunked - Atheism UK Podcast #25 Atheism UK Podcast

    • Religion

We recently did a podcast on PRATT arguments (Previously Refuted A Thousand Times) and as a result we had comments regarding arguments that theists put forward. A few weeks ago we answered one from theists which was ‘I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist - Debunked’ which van be seen here -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdwAlJbKRJM&t=413s

We carry on with these arguments from theists and look at there are no positive arguments for atheism and debunk this argument. Some of the things we discuss are:

1 - Atheism is the default position

2 - mind is the brain a thing of substance and measure, we have no examples of a mind without a brain

3 - The argument from evil - focusing on the suffering of people and animals in this world and therefore the existence of an all seeing, all knowing, all loving god is unlikely. 

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” – Epicurus.. although according to Jason Sylvester it was Sextus Empiricus who actually said this or something very similar 



4 - The hiddenness of God - no evidence
