Atheistic naturalism must answer many question, but their answers are not further coming, dubious at best, or based on faulty reasoning. Questions such as to why is there something rather than nothing. The laws of logic. The beauty of mathematical principles, and there applications to the world around us. The necessary fine tuning of biological information. The fine tuning of the universe and earth to support life. What about consciousness? If chance is the father of all these questions, than it really begs the question.
Naturalism answers the question of origins of the universe saying that out of nothing came something. We know that nothing can't create anything, say anything, or do anything-nothing is nothing. In Hawking's book “The Grand Design” Hawking had this to say: “Because of the law of gravity, the universe can and will create itself out of nothing.” …show more content…
That is why in an atheist naturalism world there is no reason to trust that our minds are reasoning properly, and why we can't trust truth claims. This is one naturalism's major problems. This was Darwin's doubt about man's mind when he wrote to a friend; “But then with me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man's mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey's mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind.” Again, I must stress the importance of consciousness in the atheistic world view. Even the Dawkins the high priest of atheism and evolution has questioned consciousness without an answer. Dawkins also has questions which he can't answer regarding “what is sex all about” and “why do people help people they don't know.” In a dog-eat-dog world this makes no
