* Materialistic Evolution: atheists believe that all life on earth developed from the first organic cells, according to [[Darwin]]'s [[evolution|Theory of Evolution]]. Importantly, they categorically reject the potential of God's hand in this process, though without cause (see: [[Theistic evolution]] for a different take). See [[evolution|The Theory of Evolution]] for the inherent problems of this belief.

One of the most popular arguments for God's existence is the [[teleological argument]]. Derived from the Greek word ''telos'', which refers to purpose or end, this argument hinges on the idea that the world gives evidence of being designed, and concludes that a divine designer must be posited to account for the orderly world we encounter.
