God do Exist

I will now follow the debate structure and post my arguments against the resolution. I'm defending the position that God probably doesn't exist. Argument 1: Non CognitivismThe Argument from Non Cognitivism is formed like this, [1]1. There are three attributes of existants which concern us particularly, these being:A. Primary Attributes: A fundamental character of a thing, may be defined as the basic nature a particular thing is composed of. What a thing is, specifically, that it may do particular things or affect those around it in a particular way. The following two types of attributes provided below can only be applied to a thing if they can be related to an existant's primary attribute and the primary attribute is positively identified [2]B. Secondary Attributes: Secondary Attributes: the character traits or abilities a particular thing may enact or possess. examples: being generous, kind, powerful, wise. [3]C. Relational Attributes. : An association of the character. I. E. King Henry the VIII. King is the relational attribute.2. B as well as C are dependent upon and must be related to an existant"s A in order to be considered meaningful.3. The term "God" lacks a positively identified A.4. Because of this, the term "God" holds no justified A, B, or C. (From 2)5. However, an attribute-less term (a term lacking A, B, and C) is meaningless.6. Therefore, the term "God" is meaningless. (From 3, 4, 5)7. Therefore, the god-concept is invalid. A meaningless word can't have any proper concept. It would just be a meaningless sound coming out of our mouths. Until "God" is defined all arguments are proving nothing. If someone said "A "Plorp" exists" we would need to ask what a "Plorp" is. Without a clear definition of a "plorp" any concept of it is invalid. Argument 2: Argument From Correct ChoiceThis argument shows that choosing a theistic worldview is contradictory. In order to state you believe in God, a criteria of “correct choice” must exist. It is formed like so (with a little modifying done by me) [4]1. Materialist apologetics is true, principles and absolutes are impossible to justify from the theological worldview. 1a. Theism implies divine causation is true. 2b. If divine causation is true, then all facts in the universe are contingent. 3c. All facts in the universe is contingent to God’s act of creation, and nothing in the universe is necessary. No principles or absolutes are possible (since the uniformity of reality is no longer necessary). 2. Any conscious choice implies a principle of correctness.3. Choosing the theistic worldview is a choice, and therefore implies a principle of correctness. (from 2)C. Choosing the theistic worldview is self-contradictory. Atheism is the only consistent worldview. (from 1 and 3) Argument 3: Problem of EvilSince Pro wants to argue for a Christian God I will use this argument I wouldn't normally use in these types of debates. Classic formulation"Is [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? "Basic formulation1. If an all-powerful and perfectly good god exists, then evil does not.2. There is evil in the world.3. Therefore, an all-powerful and perfectly good god does not exist. Complex formulation1. God exists.2. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good.3. A perfectly good being would want to prevent all evils.4. An omniscient being knows every way in which evils can come into existence.5. An omnipotent being, who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, has the 6. power to prevent that evil from coming into existence.7. A being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence, and who wants to do so, would prevent the existence of that evil.8. If there exists an omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good being, then no evil exists.9. Evil exists (logical contradiction). C. God probably doesn't exist.
