Atheism is more probable than Theism.

However, all his arguments only work if it is against the Christian God. As we are not arguing for any specific deity, however, I could chose to advocate the human-blood-thirsting Inca god, or aphrodites, or any of them. However, I would not. Instead I will respond to the arguments. Part 1: Contention 1: Evil and suffering This argument centers around pity for the anecdotes. The problem of evil is actually easily addressed. Plantinga has pointed out that we have a morally significant free will. This accounts for all the unnecessary human suffering caused by other humans. This, however, does not clearly explain natural calamities. But wait, it does. Under the Judeo-Christian theology, man has dominion over all the rest of Creation, this means that when Adam and Eve sinned, the whole of creation would suffer for it (See Romans 8:19ff). Contention 2: Demographics I will copy from the blog post which I assume you know of. "I would point out that the syllogism presented has no logical basis because its premises are false and it is badly structured. So why is it"s premises false? This is because theism is prevalent, which is not what is expected if there was no deity. (I view Islam as a perversion of Judaism) Furthermore, archeology supports the notion that monotheism came before theism. This cannot be explained if atheism is true, because why one god before more? The more gods the merrier eh? "According to Stephen Langdon of Oxford, "the history of the oldest civilization of man is a rapid decline from monotheism to extreme polytheism and widespread belief in evil spirits. " Arthur C. Custance makes explanation as follows: "When the cuneiform literature first began to reveal its message, scholars of cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphics soon found themselves dealing with a tremendous number of gods and goddesses, and demons and other spiritual powers of a lesser sort, which seemed to be always at war with one another and much of the time highly destructive. As earlier and earlier tablets, however, began to be excavated and brought to light, and skill in deciphering them increased, the first picture of gross polytheism began to be replaced by something more nearly approaching a hierarchy of spiritual beings organized into a kind of court with one Supreme Being over all. " Langton: "The history of Sumerian religion, which was the most powerful cultural influence in the ancient world, could be traced by means of pictographic inscriptions almost to the earliest religious concepts of man. The evidence points unmistakably to an original monotheism, the inscriptions and literary remains of the oldest Semitic peoples also indicate a primitive monotheism, and the totemistic origin of Hebrew and other Semitic religions is now entirely discredited. " According to historical evidence, the same pattern is found in Egypt, India, China and Greece. Henry C. Thiessen writes: "The first departure from monotheism seems to have been in the direction of nature worship. Sun, moon, and stars, the great representatives of nature, and fire, air, and water, the great representatives of earth, became objects of popular worship. At the first they were merely personified; then men came to believe that personal beings presided over them. Polytheism has a strong affinity for fallen human nature. " Custance: "it may safely be said without the slightest hesitation that monotheism never evolved out of polytheism in any part of the world"s earliest history for which we have documentary evidence. " [1]" Part II: Contention 3: Incoherence The basic theology behind this is that God cannot be fully defined by one word. God is a concept beyond the descriptive ability of words. Even the list given is not complete, simply because each word is too limiting. It is thus no incoherence at all, but difficult to comprehend theology. 1. . http://creation.com...
