Irrational Atheism

Visit this link and read this excellent essay on Atheism by Calvinist philosopher and theologian Dr. Gordon H. Clark:

Atheism is not known for logical consistency. Almost all atheists today are entirely devoted to empirical epistemology, scientific method, and the verification principle. Never mind that the history of philosophy has demonstrated time and again that all empirical epistemological attempts have always ended in complete skepticism, for these atheists, truth is probability and logic/evidence is only that which can be sensed. Not only is certainty cast to the wind, but logic, the art of necessary inference, is replaced with courses like 'probability and statistics' and something called "practical reasoning." This is one reason our college graduates today do not have the capacity to detect basic fallacies (formal and informal) in basic argumentation. This is also why our society is returning to the Dark Ages. Any society that can not argue logically from the Bible alone, as Martin Luther so clearly demonstrated in the 16th century, is doomed to the superstition of Medieval Catholicism.

However, some atheists are better trained in logic than others, and they sometimes make use of their logic when criticizing rival atheists.

In this video I quote atheist author David Ramsay Steele, who clearly points out the absurd propaganda of today's popular atheists (such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens). It is always interesting to see one atheist accuse another of irrationalism.

Atheism is doomed to an irrational world-view. This is why the Bible correctly identifies the atheist as a fool: "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God" (Psalm 14).
