The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 21): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part E)

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 21): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part E) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - hell fire

Last time we observed that a double-standard for the Creator and His creatures is entirely appropriate and necessary. God as perfect in knowledge and holiness knows every aspect of every case before His throne of justice and always judges in perfect righteousness. The source of all good and moral standards in the universe cannot pervert […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 20): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part D) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - two scales of justice in empty courtroom

Last time we observed that atheists lack the comprehensive knowledge to know that God is unjust in any death, infant or otherwise. God’s perspective is eternal. He knows everything about everything, including every heart and the positive or negative recompense of every soul in eternity. Apart from God’s revelation, and from our grossly limited and […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 19): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part C) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Spanish cemetery Tenerife

In “A Moral Argument for Atheism,” the second “doctrinal disproof” in The Impossibility of God, the atheist author assumes common moral ground with believers and presents five “paradigms of objective moral truths” that he believes both atheists and theists would consider morally wrong: 1) the intentional murder of innocents, 2) giving women to soldiers as […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 18): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part B) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - man making choice

The second of the “doctrinal disproofs” presented in The Impossibility of God claims that the God of the Bible does not exist because His actions in the Old Testament, as well as His ultimate judgment on sinners in hell, are grossly immoral. [1] According to the author, Satan is merely guilty of a few misdemeanors, […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 17): “Doctrinal Disproofs” (Part A) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - man holding apple with bit out

We turn now to what the editors of The Impossibility of God call “doctrinal disproofs” of the existence of God, the claim that certain teachings or the acts of God contained in Scripture are inconsistent with God’s attributes. According to the author of “The Paradox of Eden,” God’s test of Adam of Eve in the […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 16): “The Problem of Evil” (Part C)

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 16): “The Problem of Evil” (Part C) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl -

As promised, we turn now to examine a few problems with “the problem of evil” (moral evil, for our purposes), the claim that says if God has infinite power and can easily eliminate evil, and if He is perfectly good He would always want to eliminate evil. But since evil exists, God must be less […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 15): “The Problem of Evil” (B) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - person's fingers with paint brush

In the first of the articles appealing to moral evil as proof of God’s impossibility, the author claims belief in God lacks “rational support,” that people must reject reason and ignore the conclusive arguments against Him in order to believe. The “problem of evil,” according to the author, is one such argument. A logical problem, […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 14): “The Problem of Evil” (Part A)

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 14): “The Problem of Evil” (Part A) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - grenade in egg carton

In the previous two articles we examined examples of “definitional disproofs” of God, including: 1) perfection and a man-made definition of imperfect virtue cannot co-exist in God, and 2) a perfect God who deserves complete submission and worship is incompatible with autonomous human moral agency. Of course, no orthodox theologian would disagree with the first […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 13): “Definitional Disproofs” (Part C) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - women choosing fruit or sweets

In the previous article we examined the argument that a perfect God must also be a virtuous God, but because virtue involves imperfection, as defined by “ethical theory,” a perfect and virtuous God cannot exist. We come to another example of a “definitional disproof” where the claim states that an omnipotent and perfectly good God […]

The Human Limitations of Unreasonable Atheism (Part 12): “Definitional Disproofs” (Part B) - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Greek sculpture of Pericles against cloudy sky

We turn, now, to a specific example of a “disproof” where the definition of God is said to contain logically contradictory elements, rendering Him impossible. According to the claim, a perfect God must be virtuous. But virtue, as defined by the ancient Greeks and accepted in “ethical theory,” requires human imperfections. Thus, a perfect and […]
