Against Atheism

In 2012, astrophysicist Lawrence Krauss published a book entitled A Universe From Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing that purported to prove that existence could - and did - spontaneously emerge out of “nothing” (through quantum mechanics). The book received some astonishingly scathing press by prominent scientists and philosophers in the Scientific American, The Atlantic, and most famously in the The New York Times (among others). The volume of negative press in such esteemed publications catapulted the issue of the origin of the Big Bang into the public spotlight and shone a spotlight on Atheism’s inability to provide a sufficient explanation for the origin of the Big Bang.

The Cosmological Argument Expressed as formal Logic

300 years before Christ, Aristotle - the father of logic as an academic discipline - deduced that the only plausible explanation for why anything exists, was by the creation of a single infinite, eternal, and omniscient being. The Cosmological Argument was developed independently by one of the greatest minds of all time who had no interest in proving the existence of God.
