It is reasonable to believe in God.

I want to examine the common claim atheists make that Christianity is highly irrational, unreasonable, illogical, and so on. I find this notion humerous because atheists are dead certain that they are right, and we wacky Christians are a bunch of nut-cases who believe in fairy tales. Well, I am going to argue against that claim. Atheism is a logical fallacy. In order to be a true atheist, one would have to be absolutely certain that there is no divine entity anywhere in the universe. In order to achieve that, one would have to be at every part of the universe at every time. In order to achieve that, one would have to be omniscient and omnipresent. If one were to achieve that, they would be God, which would contradict their initial claim. Now, atheists I have talked with respond to that notion by stating that Christianity is the same way; that we Christians have to be absolutely certain that there is a God and in order to believe that, we would have to be everywhere in the universe and so on. In actuality, Christians do not have to be absolutely certain with factual evidence to support their claim, because we have faith that He exists. Atheists rely on concrete evidence to support their claims, not faith. Christians rely on faith that He exists and don't need factual evidence because, according to our faith, we see the entire universe as factual evidence of His existence. This is a little hard to explain and forgive me if I confuse you. Religious people don't need to be at every corner of the universe to know there is a God, because we know He exists in our lives and our hearts through faith, not concrete evidence. If atheists made the claim that they have faith that He doesn't exist, then we would have another argument. But they don't, they rely on concrete evidence, therefore atheism is a logical fallacy. Now my next point is that atheists can't explain why humans are moral. Humans are unique in the fact that we are moral beings. It is morality that distinguishes us from animals. Conscience, according to C.S. Lewis, is nothing other than the voice of God within our souls. Conscience enables us to do what is right, instead of doing the things we want to do. The Darwinian analysis does not explain morality. Darwinism does not explain why people "act good." The Darwinian project promotes the domain of self-interest and morality promotes the act of doing what we should do, not what we want to do. Christians live in the knowledge that there is a reality greater than which we can comprehend. According to Immanuel Kant, we have no basis to assume that our perception of reality ever resembles reality itself. It is rational to believe in the higher being. Throughout history, there have been two levels of reality: the human perspective and the God perspective, which is reality itself. We can never see things as they really are because we live in a world of many appearances and all we can do is see things as how we perceive them. Christians have faith that in the afterlife, we will be able to see things as they truly are, in the God perspective. There is a greater limit to what humans can know. Human reason raises questions that are unanswerable. We seek to discover what the limits to those questions are. Faith is the only way to discover truths that are beyond the domain of reason and experience. All humans, both religious and non-believers, rely on faith. Whether that faith consists of trusting your cab driver to drive you to the correct location or that the food you eat won't kill you, faith plays a vital role in our daily lives. The purpose of faith is to seek truths that are important, but we can't reach through natural means. We can also look at Pascal's Wager. You have two options: you can believe in God and if it turns out He doesn't exist, then you don't suffer any consequences, however, if you choose not to believe in God and it turns out He does exist, then you face the consequence of eternal separation from Him. It is perfectly reasonable to believe in God. Atheists cannot tell us why we humans are conscious, moral, and why the universe operates in the way it does. When you look at the intricacy and sophistication of the world we know and comprehend, you have to believe that there must have been a Creator. It takes a greater leap of faith to believe everything came out of nothing. Why are there laws of nature? Why do we exist on this very planet? Why do organisms and life in general obey specific laws? Why is life the way it is right now? When you look at the bigger picture, if one were to make the slightest change to the chain of life and the existence of the world, that slightest change would ultimately eliminate the existence of life as we know it. Life obeys a strict code of laws. The question is, why? A reasonable answer to this question is that God created it.
