Atheism
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg challenges the idea that atheism can answer all fundamental questions and argues that it is not a rational position because it is often driven by emotional reactions to the concept of God. He asserts that atheists have faith in unproven beliefs similar to religious people. Gregg believes that there is credible evidence to support the Christian claim of Jesus' resurrection and that the possibility of the empty tomb can only be explained by His resurrection. He also cites leading atheist philosopher Anthony Flew, who changed his mind due to scientific evidence of design in nature, and challenges the theory of evolution by stating that it cannot explain how non-living things can organize themselves into living organisms.
