Flaws in Paley’s Teleological Argument

Religion

Religion is born of the same curiosity that led to philosophy and science, but it’s a premature birth due to an impatience for answers.

The articles in this section are on the topic of religion, on various topics within religion, or on particular religions.

Flaws in Paley’s Teleological Argument

Paley’s teleological argument for the existence of God argues that the universe is designed, but it has a hard time explaining flaws in the design, such as death, suffering, disease, and conflict.

Why some Christians and Muslims should be Anti-Natalists

September 18, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 1 Comment

Anti-natalism is the position that procreation is morally wrong, and I believe that some Christians and Muslims should be anti-natalists. Let me stress the word some here. I specifically have in mind those Christians and Muslims who believe in eternal damnation in Hell.

September 17, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 1 Comment

June 18, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 12 Comments

Hell is understood here as a place of ceaseless torment, going on forever. Hell couldn’t exist without a being as powerful as God to maintain it. But even if God did exist, Hell would be incompatible with God’s goodness and justice. So, whether or not God exists, there is no Hell. Watch the video or read the article to learn why.
