Why Atheism is the WEAKEST paradigm of all and has ZERO value
The Atheist model explains nothing and cannot prove anything and does not even fit the data. It's just a lazy dismissal for those who just want to dismiss all religion in general as bunk without thinking. The obvious CORE problem with the atheist model is that chance and unguided processes can never create intelligent design or complex machinery or complexity, like human anatomy or DNA. No amount of time can allow that, not even an eternity. Many Creationists and Theists have proven that mathematically with the anthropic princple and fine tuned universe argument. By definition, design, pattern and structure negates randomness, so this is self-refuting and impossible. Moreover, life cannot come from non-life. Life can only come from life, as we all know. So again the atheist claim that life came from non-ilfe is impossible and nonsensical. Furthermore, the atheist model cannot explain consciousness or how it arose, since it is not necessary for evolution. All it can do is dismiss consciousness as an illusion, which is an assumption based on prejudice, bias and personal philosophy, not logic or science. Sorry but that just doesn't suffice for the real truth seeker.
In my opinion, this is the WEAKEST model because it explains nothing and offers nothing and is self-refuting in many ways and impossible and against natural common sense as well. Look up Dr. Frank Turek, a Christian apologist, who explains why Atheism is self-refuting in many ways in his books and lectures. I don't agree with his Christian views, but he does a good job of pointing out the flaws and contradictions of Atheism which are self-refuting.
Unfortunately, the scientific establishment and academia/universities in Western countries have adopted this Atheist/Materialist model as their dominant paradigm and are very DOGMATIC and hard-nosed about it, to the point where it has become their religion almost. Despite the fact that it CANNOT be proven using the Scientific Method in any laboratory experiment. That is very sad, illogical, and dishonest, and strongly indicates that their motive for doing so is based on prejudice, personal philosophy, bias, and agendas perhaps, not logic or science or neutrality or out of a desire for truth seeking.
For the best exposes against the Atheist/Materialist model and why it is heavily flawed and cannot be true, see the works, books, and lectures of Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Dr. Dean Radin, author of "The Conscious Universe". Both are highly credible and renowned and debunk the materialist paradigm with sheer logic. Sheldrake's website is

In the Atheist model of course, suffering has no purpose or reason for existence. It merely is, and that's all. Like I said, it's the WEAKEST paradigm and offers NOTHING. Basically, Atheism is an intellectually lazy way to not even think about the issue and dismiss it out of hand. It's a form of denial, not truth seeking, so it's definitely not for those with a passion to seek truth. That's for sure. The average Atheist does NOT base his beliefs on logic or reason, it's just an excuse to hate and dismiss all religions as a whole, because they don't wanna deal with it. That's why the average Atheist has ZERO logical arguments or reasons or evidence to support their Atheism philosophy. It's merely a cheap way to dismiss anything outside of their material paradigm and is also a hate movement against Christianity. Hence it is NOT an intellectual or rational movement at all, but one of hate and denial.
For example, the books by the most popular authors of militant Atheism such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens, contain ZERO arguments that God does not exist and does not even try to give any. Obviously because they have NONE, which speaks volumes! And basically means that they have NOTHING to stand on, and hence is the WEAKEST paradigm of all! All they do is bash Christianity for its flaws and blabs about why religion is all bad and nothing good and has only caused wars and so therefore should be abolished, which is not true or balanced and way too one sided. Obviously there is good and bad in all religions but they are too blind and hateful and one sided to see that, so they only point out the bad and ignore the good. In doing so, they throw the baby out with the bath water and try to insinuate that since Christianity is bad and absurd, then all religions are bad and therefore no God can possibly exist. That's the only card they have, but it falsely connects things which are not the same. Because disproving Christianity is NOT the same as proving that no God or Creator exists at all. They can disprove Christianity all they want, but it still does NOT prove their contention that God does not exist in any shape or form at all! But they hope you are dumb enough not to realize that of course, and that you don't think for yourself, but blindly believe their BS fallacies.
In contrast, Christian apologetics books by Dr. William Lane Craig, Dr. JP Moreland, Dr. Frank Turek, and Lee Strobel do contain some valid logical arguments for the existence of God, such as the intelligent design argument, the anthropic principle, the prime mover argument, etc. So there is no question which side has more valid arguments. Theism wins hands down and the Atheists have been nothing but sore losers.
Essentially, Atheism is a HATE movement against Christianity, and that's why it always targets Christianity with disdain and ridicule, and not other religions. In doing so though, they throw the baby out with the bathwater, and presume that since the Christian religion is absurd and ridiculous and has caused wars, that therefore no God exists at all. That's an obvious fallacy, but since Atheism is a hate movement, you cannot expect rationality or logic from them. I do agree that Christianity is highly problematic and absurd, as I explained earlier, however creating a hate religion against it and using that to prove that no God exists at all is also absurd, and mentally unhealthy as well, since hate is never good for one's soul (even if they don't believe in the soul).
What Atheists don't realize is that they have no ground to stand on, because none of their heros and idols were Atheists like them. For example, their idols such as Isaac Newton, Galileo, Charles Darwin, etc. but those men were NOT Atheists. They all believed in God in some form, even if they were Deists and did not believe that God intervened in the world. But they were theists and believed in a divine Creator. So none of the Atheists' idols were Atheists, which is ironic and funny and only goes to show that none of the great minds of history were Atheists, hence they have no ground to stand on. In fact, the greatest geniuses in the world, such as Einstein, Tesla, Newton, DaVinci, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Plato, Socrates, etc. were neither Atheists/Materialists nor religious fundamentalists. This means of course that the smarter and wiser one is, the more they see through the folly of both dogmatic Atheism and religion, and ascribe to neither, because both models stifle freethought and are authoritarian based, not reason based, which great thinkers cannot accept or align with.
All this shows just how foolish and empty and devoid of value Atheism really is. Hence why I say it is the WEAKEST paradigm of all with ZERO value. All it is is a HATE movement against Christianity and is guilty of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, which is intellectually lazy.
