The Problem of Multiple Infinite Series Associated with a Single Infinite Series that Purportedly Accounts for the Being of Contingent Substances Associated with Atheism.

Atheism denies the existence of God as being, and the universal cause of being. Consequently, atheism may posit an infinite series of causes to account for the existence of any single contingent substance. But such an infinite series must exist along with a multitude of other infinite series associated with the same contingent substance. For one contingent substances of say, a man is also subject to motion and change. For example, a man may choose to act or not to act. The if the man chooses to act, then an infinite series of acts is required to account for the man who moves from not act to act. As the man makes many choices to act over a life time, the man is subject to many infinite series. Similarly, the man changes from a boy to a man. The boy is not the man, and the boy must have an act inside the boy to change the boy into a man. Such an act of change also infers an infinite series of acts to cause the change.

Furthermore, if the atheist is a materialist, (as many atheists are), and the atheist holds to a mechanical understanding of biology, whereby the biological man is composed of parts outside of parts, then the biological body of man also must have a multitude of infinite series to account for the existence of each part of the man. If so, the existence and acts of the man involve an immense number of infinite series to account for the man. Such an immense number of infinite series must all act together precisely at the right time to cause the man to exist, to will to act, and for the man to change from a boy to a man.

The immense number of infinite series required for one substance is very problematic. For such a number of infinite series really has no reason to exist within nature, for nature is always subject to the principle of minimum utility. For nature acts in accord with the simpler causation and resists overly complex causation. Therefore, because an innumerable number of infinite series are required to account for the existence of man, atheism must posit an incredulous system of causes, that is not in accord with nature. Therefore, atheism is untenable and false.
