Today i had an exam with about this stuff
Anyway, i thought it was funny because JR, actually wishes objective morality to be true without no evidence, just like any other god, wishful thinking. Oh man, the world cant be this cruel, even if it is now, surely it doesn't supposed to be like that. And this is where the god comes in, to satisfy all of your delusions.
Delusions?
Reasons for belief in God.
1--The Cosmological argument - Where the universe comes from
2--The Teleological argument - The fact that the universe is intelligently designed
3--The Moral argument - The fact that actions have real moral value has not been dealt with. If objective moral values exist, it must be rooted in a God.
4-The evidence of the resurrection has not been refuted
5-The immediate experience of God
These are Craig's arguments for the existence of God. Let's now see what the atheistic perspective has to offer.
Reasons for disbelief in God.
1- God is cruel.
It seems to me that it is the atheistic perspective that happears more to wishful thinking here.
If God is all loving and all powerful, why is there evil in the world?
These two ideas are not in direct contradiction. There is no logical contradiction in them. Usually the atheist is making a probabilistic argument and not an explicit argument. But if we add one statement - God has sufficient reasons to allow the evil in the world that we see now - we can see the argument doesn't hold logically. Emotionally, I understand the problem and we don't like to see suffering, but there is no way that we can say ourselves what is or isn't in God's mind that makes such suffering sufficient.
