Pascal’s Wager

God

Pascal’s Wager

January 25, 2017 by Fergus Duniho 1 Comment

Pascal’s wager is not a proof of the existence of God but an argument for belief in God despite a lack of evidence.

Does God Exist?

December 29, 2016 by Fergus Duniho 2 Comments

The main problem with the question Does God Exist? is that there are different ideas about what God is or could be. So I will examine multiple conceptions of God, not just one. If none of them stand up, then atheism will be justified, but if a single idea of God does stand up, even if all the rest fail, then some form of theism is justified, though it may be different from the theism you are accustomed to.

Flaws in Paley’s Teleological Argument

November 11, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 3 Comments


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.

Matt Slick’s Transcendental Argument for God’s Existence

November 14, 2014 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

The Transcendental argument maintains that eternal conceptual truths require the existence of an eternal mind, which is understood to be God. I maintain that eternal truths, such as the laws of logic, are part of the fabric of reality, not conceptual truths in the sense Matt Slick intends. Read the article to learn in more detail why the Transcendental argument fails to prove God’s existence.

Is God Needed for Scientific Laws?

September 4, 2014 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

In a podcast I listened to, a Christian maintained that God is required for scientific laws, and an atheist maintained that scientific laws are not as real as the Christian understood them to be. I disagree with them both, and here I explain why God is not required for the existence of scientific laws.

The Impossibility of Omniscience

June 3, 2013 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

Do you need to be omniscient to know that God doesn’t exist? Not if God is supposed to be omniscient. If God is omniscient, as many philosophers, theologians, and apologists have claimed, all you need to know is that omniscience is impossible.

May 31, 2013 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

Morality or Meaning Without God?

May 18, 2013 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

Four different arguments for the existence of God claim that God is required to account for objective moral right and wrong, evil, value, and the meaning of life. This post critically examines all four claims.
