Essay: 10 problems for atheists

Below are 7 biggest problem facing the atheist worldview held by most atheist in the Western World:

1. Why is there something rather than nothing?

See:

• Atheism and the origin of the universe

• Anthropic principle

• Does science argue for or against God

2. Uniqueness of earth (Privileged Planet)

3. Origin of life

4. Origin of the various types of plants and animals (see: Evolution and Creation science).

5. Origin of consciosness

The atheist worldview cannot explain the existence of consciousness either and the theistic worldview can offer a reasonable explanation (see also: Atheism and irrationality).

• The Argument from Consciousness for the Existence of God

• Consciousness: One of Atheism's Irresolvable Problems

6. Existence of logic (see: Atheism and logic and Atheism and presuppositional apologetics).

7. Most atheists are evolutionists and secular leftists (see also: Atheism and politics).

Secular leftism/progressivism has the narrative that human society is moving in a positive direction and making progress. According to this narrative, religion will pass away (see: Secularization thesis).

However, since 1970s or at the very least the dissolution of the Soviet Union, religion/religious fundamentalism has seen a surge in prevalence and irreligion/atheism has seen a decline in global market share (see: Desecularization and Global atheism statistics).

In the 21st century, this trend is expected to continue for a number of reasons Growth of global desecularization and Causes of desecularization).
