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 the 1970s, 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, for a number of reasons, this trend is expected to continue and impact the Western World (see: Growth of global desecularization and Causes of desecularization).

8. The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ (see: Christian apologetics and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and Christian legal apologetics).

9. When you compare the history of atheism vs. history of Christendom, Christianity has had a significantly more beneficial effect on humanity.

See:

• History of atheism

• Atheism and mass murder

• Atheism statistics

• What if Jesus had never been born?

• Triumph of the Gospel of Love by Themistocles Adamopoulo

• Protestant cultural legacies

• Christianity and science

• Atheism and science

• Atheism and historical revisionism

• Atheism and historical illiteracy

10. Atheism cannot account for morality

See:

• Atheism and morality

• Objective morality

• Atheism and presuppositional apologetics

• Religion and morality

• Religion and crime reduction
