THE STANDARD ATHEIST CLAIM
Back at square one, what do atheists claim? The third kind of atheistic claim is: “I do not believe in GOD.” This claim recognizes that it is theoretically possible that GOD exists, and also acknowledges that there is evidence for GOD’s existence.
LET’S SUM IT UP
To sum up: If the atheistic claim is an epistemological claim that there is no evidence for the existence of GOD, it follows that: a) that does not rule out the possibility that GOD exists, and b) that claim is false, as there is undeniable evidence of the existence of GOD.
87. WHY DO ATHEISTS RAISE THE BAR ON THE PROOF OF GOD?
To claim that “there is no evidence for the existence of GOD,” atheists raise the bar of what is considered proof, by placing strict acceptance requirements on any argument of the sort, and sometimes the bar is much higher than they require in other areas.
74. “There is no God” – The Ontological Argument
The ontological version of atheism makes a claim about existing reality, arguing that “GOD” does not exist, and is not part of reality.
God Does Not Exist
Atheists are a small, though growing minority of the world’s population. They are convinced that they have discovered the amazing truth that there is no GOD, all religions are false, and the billions of believers are wrong.
