On Being an Atheist

 

The observations and experiences range from familiar occurrences such as existence, movement, causation, and exhibiting an unfamiliar degree of order. Certain individuals witness extraordinary events referred to as proofs (O'Connor, 1998). These arguments are not a priori in the form of a posteriori in character to allow such a possibility. Some of the proofs deny God's existence and provide evidence to support that. As with all posteriori arguments, the theistic explanations are only logically possible as stated the plausible evidence. .
             According to McCloskey, "the cosmological argument does not entitle us to postulate an all-perfect, all-powerful uncaused case." Evans observes that God is the eternal unchanging source of all change movement, and process the ultimate mover that guides intermediate movers. The supreme mover of the universe is not the creator-god since the universe is itself eternal, an ordered world of natural processes without beginning or end, in everlasting and continuous motion (Mawson, 1975). Another reason that proves that the supreme mover is not the creator-god is that a perfect being has no needs and can do nothing to improve its state. The unbroken activity of God directs to intervene the providential acts of design introspective activity of contemplation. Christian monotheism proclaims God as omnipotent, omniscient, and personal deity given to the divine interventions in the affairs of mortals such as merciful and providential father of his children. .
             The biblical story of creation, as confessed by the Jewish, came into being from nothing within specific time by an all-powerful God that engineers its completion in scrupulous detail to give all the creatures proper place and function. The process culminates in the creation of man, made in God's image-this likeness to God giving to human beings is a central role in the cosmic drama that plays according to the divine plan.
