Can someone give me a good thesis statement for analyzing the existence of god with the atheistic argument?

Question

I need some good and bright ideas to get a good start on my existence of god paper. or is there a better and more logical argument to write about?

Answer 1

The irrationality of religion has a scientific basis. It goes back to our cave man days when man was very insecure living in a hostile environment. The cerebral cortex of our brain (the complex thinking apparatus) is a relatively recent addition.

Answer 2

A good reason to question the existance of god is because of the source of this idea. As it says in the bible: "faith comes by hearing." The idea of a god comes to each individual by hearing it from another person, and people, who have only existed in a eyeblink of cosmic history cannot claim to understand the origins of all creation. I mean... if there was an infinite being who cared about us and loved us, wouldn't it be pretty obvious? There really wouldn't be much debate it would be like "Hey look at that up there, that god thing is like..wow...incredible.."

Also, if this god that everyone says is the source of all good and love, why won't he come down here and say, "man you guys are having a rough time with all these wars and disease, and I think I'll help you out a little..." He's pretty aloof, isn't he? ... Just so many loopholes in the theory if you start digging...

Hi ddac2k1

Personally I think your argument is in trouble. Most god propositions aren't falisifiable (check out Popper and Kuhn and falsifiability and science). the problem with approaching the question of the existence of god from within the framework(s) of reason and/or logic is that god(s) aren't constrained by those frameworks. You can't construct a tight position which can then be falsified because an omnipotent god can always wriggle out of it.

The base proposition (imo) is that from the perspective of science gods are magic chickens. If the action of god on or in the universe is indistinguishable from the natural laws uncovered by science (and so far this is the case) then the proposiotion of that god is (from a formal logic perspective) unnecessary. This doesn't mean gods don't exist, only that they don't necessarily exist.


Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Beliefs(in this case in god) and logic don't mix. When we believe something it means we can only accept it as true but when something is logical it can be reasoned. If you are about to embark on arguments to prove or disprove the existence of god you are in for a long battle that no one will win. All you can hope to get out of it is mutual understanding and tolerance.

It'd be best to go with that second impulse and write about something else.

Answer 5

Although theism must admit that there is no way to scientifically prove the existence of God, atheism must admit that there is no way to disprove His existence. Most atheists would likely acknowledge this fact, but would still scoff at the concept of an infinite, eternal, omnipotent God. Unfortunately, what they fail to realize (or admit) is that if we don't start with an infinite, un-caused God, then we must start with finite, un-caused matter! "In the final analysis atheism must hold the absurd conclusion that something comes from nothing, that is, that non-being is the ground upon which being rests. This seems highly unreasonable" Furthermore, for an atheist to assert dogmatically that there is no God, then he must be omniscient, and therefore God! Therefore, his assertion contradicts itself!

Answer 6

you can start with the qustions that indicate the presence of GOD.

like how the oxygen content of air is maintained at a particular level? who is responsible for the unpredictable issues of the world and so on. wherever logic fails there comes GOD
faith is beyond reasoning and logic.

you can take these points and proceed. Good luck for thesis.

Answer 7

God is, in my mind, a pretty extravagant proposition, so the burden of proof rests with the theists. Don't ask me why I don't believe in God; I've lived around Christians for twenty-four years, and no one's ever given me a good reason for why they do.

Answer 8

It is painful to imagine that all the beauty and intricacy of life could exist without being first concieved of by an extra-universal consciousness.

Answer 9

atheism... a million Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods. 2The doctrine that there is not any God or gods. preserving this definition in recommendations imagine about this question... "might want to god make a mountain that he might want to no longer flow?: now god "might want to" manage to make/create something, proper?? and he/she "might want to" manage to flow/do something also, proper?? in yet another question by likely a similar logician... "did god create guy, or did guy create god?" imagine about those questions with an atheist's point of view. to boot to, the present Da Vinci Code. which seems to signify that jesus became only a guy and the persons, the churches who “rewrote" the bible, picking which books to position in, leaving out others... about significant human beings, like Mary Magdalene. per chance... imagine about the female / pagan religions previous... there is also faith all all over the world with diverse gods, which one is ideal? blah blah blah... proper so
