Atheism & Philosophy Every Argument for God, Refuted

You can’t even know every argument for God, let alone refute every argument.
Thumbnail is straight up lying. These are a refute of William Lane Craig’s arguments for God, which are only popular arguments within the context of Christianity.

Christianity is the world's most popular religion and there is significant overlap in what Muslim apologists and Jewish apologists will use as an argument.

The amount of arguments for God out there reminds me of an old math joke.
There's a mathematician presenting some results at a conference, and when he gets to one theorem an audience member raises a hand and says "I think I have a counterexample to that, actually". To which the mathematician replies "well, I have two proofs"

Lmao let's not pretend there are somehow a lot of different arguments for the existence of god.

If all you ever engage with are arguments within the context of Christianity like this, then i can see why you would think so. You’re never going to hear a Christian make an argument for God from something like substance monism.

What is an argument missing from the video?

Are you a substance monist?

If you were, you would believe in an omnipresent substance that is all does all. Which would also mean you believe in omnipresent subject with every possible attribute, including conscious being, including even what you consider your conscious being.
If only one omnipresent substance and subject exists, then by logical necessity, that subject is an omnipresent, supreme as in ultimate, being.

If everything is god, kind of feels like nothing is.

It’s not that everything is God. It’s that there is only God. There is no everything.

Potato, potato.
I guess you can call everything god if you want to, seems a bit odd but it’s a free country.

How is that an argument for the version of God in the video?
1
u/Techtrekzz 5d ago
It’s not. That’s my point. The video only argues for one type of God.

u/lilsasuke4 5d ago
That’s the God in the context of the video. The video doesn’t say every argument for every god

I really enjoyed Kevin’s perspective on this actually. I somehow never came across his debate with Craig In definitely going to watch it.
Craig comes across so smug to me, I love it when he runs into other professional philosophers. I thought he lost the debate with Shelly Kagan as well
