Many who … Continue reading “Why isn’t evolution completely impossible?”
Question from Leonard: Don’t you find it to be most odd that there is something instead of nothing? Wouldn’t it be more logical and simpler for there to be nothing? Answer by SmartLX: These are not survey questions, Leonard. This is an argument, nominally rephrased as a pair of questions. Any questionnaire containing the above … Continue reading “A “Survey””
Question from Sophia: I don’t know how many atheists have been Christians before, but I have questions as a Christian. The idea that a God is there for forgiveness, mercy, and justice is very comforting to me. There are certain things humans are unable to do. For instance, law enforcement may fail, but our free … Continue reading “Living Without God”
Question from Brenton: Is the universe eternal? Answer by SmartLX: We don’t know, but whether it is or not, neither option makes a god very likely.

We don’ need no steenkin’ proof!”

Answer … Continue reading “Who/What is God?”
Question from Heather: I really appreciate this website, it is quite useful. Early thank you for answering my question. Most theists often worry about where our ‘soul’ goes when we die.
