The Non Sequiturs Of Atheism by OLAADEGBU(m): 9:00pm On Feb 05, 2018
⛔ The non sequiturs of atheism ⛔

non sequitur
/nɒn ˈsɛkwɪtə/
noun
a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.

Atheists are a confused bunch. Everything about their worldview does not logically follow from the premise that there is no God. Here's a few examples of why ultimately, it's atheists that are illogical.

❌ Nothing into something

Absolute nothingness turning into something. Not only is this theologically and philosophically problematic, it is logically and mathematically impossible, thus quite possibly the bnon-sequiturequitur one can commit to.

0+0=0

To say 1 can come from 0 is a non sequitur when accounting for absolute and ultimate realities, therefore there has always been a 1 and 0 is the more abstract number we use because we use it to represent nothing or to punctuate the end of one set of numbers or the beginning of another, whereas in reality there is something, meaning something, logically, mathematically must have always existed.

❌ Non life becoming life

Again, a non sequitur of the highest order.

No rational person denies the power of scientific inquiry, discovery and technology.

So we believe what science tells us about energy, that effectively it is eternal, it just shifts states.

With this is mind, and consciousness truly being a reality, why would consciousness suddenly evolve randomly rather than exist eternally?

To believe energy is eternal this means it is infinite as both infinity and eternity are interrelated. It is a non sequitur to believe consciousness isn't eternal, there was a beginning to the material universe, and that took thought, decision, action and power in the realms of a change in state, thus resulting in an eternal mind with infinite power. To claim otherwise just doesn't work.

❌ Purpose and achievement

To claim zero purpose to the universe and biological life negates achievement both personal or scientific. Yes, we can see results, but it doesn't logically follow that we see any purpose at all in achieving something should we reject the rational intelligibility and purpose of the world in the first place.

New atheists claims zero purpose to the world, whilst unwittingly going on a crusade with purpose to prove this somehow?

❌ Relativism

You should know relativism is self refuting, If you claim everything is subjective, as in a matter of opinion because there exists no further intelligence outside or above the human mind, then it doesn't logically follow that your opinion matters, because that's my opinion, get it?

The only logical conclusion is objective and absolute truths, not opinions, however an atheist has to admit everything is relative, thus a non sequitur to claim any sort of truth, which an atheist claims by believing there is no God, which equates to an absolute truth should it be true, which is a truth atheists can't have.

❌ Logic

Claiming randomness to the universe negates the logic atheists claim as their own. Logic has purpose and order. So logically speaking, it doesn't logically follow that we should accept such a logic. There is no logic claiming you have used logic to deduce zero logic in the universe. If you think the universe is logical as an atheist, which it is, then it's a non sequitur to propose it being random at the same time.

❌ Faith

A word banded about by atheists as a premise to reject theism, proposing theists believe what they believe based on faith, without realising their entire worldview is based on zero evidence or proof, thus not just making it a faith-based belief, or non belief as the atheists may try and correct us on, but a blind faith.

❌ Ad hominems

When backed into a corner, most new atheists or anti-theists will resort to attacks on the other person without backing up their claims or answering theists own questions to them. Going from one premise, to something completely irrelevant to the discussion.

This list could go on.

Yahweh did NOT create the universe, because Yahweh himself is a human construction. That remains the fact!

"We don't know how we came here, but let's study and try to find out and not to give a simple answer like 'God.'"

Atheists don't like God being the answer to that question--for obvious reasons.
That's like saying, "We don't know what two plus two adds up to, so let's not give a simple answer like 'four.'"

Unobserved universe beginnings + unobserved being creating = GOD
This one makes more sense to you.

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse..." ( Romans 1:20).

Darwinian evolution is faith-based because it is unobservable and untestable. Christians know God exists because of the observation of Creation and because He is testable as He reveals Himself to all who obey Him (see John 14:21).

We know that the Creator exists in the same way that we know that a building has a builder. No building ever built itself. That's plain common sense. The painting is also proof of a painter, because paintings don't paint themselves. More common sense.

So every person knows that God exists because of creation (Nature). Creation could not have made itself. That's plain common sense.

Common sense works when it involves common experiences. How many universes have you experienced that would make it common?

There is only one Creator—that's the One who gave Moses the Ten Commandments, the One who provided the only Saviour--the One who can save you from a very real Hell.

There are millions of false gods (Hinduism has hundreds of millions). Man gravitates towards idols (which he makes with his hands or with his mind), because they don't demand moral accountability.
