Some Unresolvable Problems with Atheism.

Atheism says there is no God, but monotheism says God is being. Therefore when atheism says there is no God, there is no being. Therefore atheism concludes to non being, which is a negation. there are several consequences to atheism as follows -

1) Atheism concludes to the non being of God who is being. Therefore atheism concludes to the contradiction that non being is being.

2) Atheism concludes to the non being, or the negation of God. But monotheism concludes to God as the supreme being. Atheism then concludes to the negation of the supreme being. Therefore according to atheism, the supreme being is non being.

3) Atheism concludes to the non being of God. But monotheism concludes to God as the universal cause of the being of all creatures. Atheism then concludes to the non being of God as the universal cause of the creatures being. Therefore atheism implies the universal non cause of being of all creatures. Therefore according to atheism, the non being of the non existent God is the universal cause of the being of creatures. Therefore atheism concludes to non being causes being.

4) Atheism concludes to the non-being of God. But the atheist exists and thereby has being. The atheist is then greater than the God of monotheism and the atheist is, therefore, a god unto himself.

5) Atheism concludes to the non-being of God. But monotheism concludes to God as being as the universal cause of being. If atheism is true, then negation is the cause of being. Therefore the universe exists in accord with the principle of something from nothing. As the principle is false, atheism is false.

6) Atheism concludes to the non-being of God. As atheism cannot account for the existence of any creature, atheism can only be possibly true of all that exists is negated. Or in other words, atheism may be true if all is negation. But if all is negation, the truth of atheism is also negated and therefore atheism is false. So if something exists atheism is false, and if all is negated, atheism is false.

7) Atheism concludes to the non-being of God. But creatures and the universe exist. Therefore some creatures are supreme and then a form of polytheism is possibly true, or a creature is supreme and a form of monotheism is possibly true. If anything exists, there is a supreme being and a form of theism is true and atheism is false. As something does exist, atheism is false.

Some Problems when Atheism and Naturalism are Combined.

Atheism is the belief that there is no God. Naturalism is the belief that there is only nature, and consequently no preter-nature and no super-nature. Some hold to both atheism and naturalism. If so, we have the following problems –

Problem 1) - The Problem of Atheisms Denial and Affirmation of a Supreme Being.

Naturalism says there is only nature. And yet the existence of nature is the existence of something, without anything else existing. Consequent to naturalism, the supreme being is nature itself, or perhaps one or many natural things. But atheism says there is no supreme being, for atheism opposes theism, which says God is the supreme being. So, atheism requires there be no supreme being, and naturalism concludes to nature or natural things, or a natural thing as the supreme being. Atheism quite often affirms the existence of the universe, or at least the man as the knower of the universe, and thereby affirms the existence of at least one natural thing. But by affirming the existence of a natural thing, atheism is affirming the existence of nature. And where nature exists, there is a supreme being.

Conclusion Atheism denies the existence of a supreme being in opposition to theism. Atheism affirms the existence of a supreme being in affirming naturalism. Therefore atheism both denies and affirms the existence of a supreme being.

Further problems to come in due course. Updated 1 November 2018.


Problem 2) - The Problem of atheism's affirmation of naturalism, evolutionism and the accompanied quasi monism as a form of theism. 

Atheists deny the existence of God and quite often affirm the existence of evolution and naturalism. If evolution is affirmed with naturalism, the universe emerged from only natural causes in accordance with more from less. As there is only one universe, for being is analogous and not equivocal as required of a multi universe worldview, then all that exist is as one tree of existence, whereby all apparently distinct substances are really only one giant substance of the universe. All that exists is really only a small part of the universe and a manifestation of the one universe that is self-contained. But what is self-contained is an organism in which all things live. And the universe as one organism is a form of quasi-monism. And as monism is a form of theism, then quasi monism is also theistic. Therefore if the atheism believes in naturalism and evolutionism, the atheist is a closet quasi-monist and thereby a closet theist.
