Convincing Atheists Of God's Existence | Muhammad Hijab

Is Purpose Found in Atheism? @MohammedHijab

Join @MohammedHijab for a thought-provoking discussion on the meaning of life and the connection between purpose and atheism. In this video, we explore the growing rates of atheism in Norway and Sweden, and the surprising link many atheists find between a lack of purpose and the tendency towards suicide.

We interview atheists and non-religious individuals to understand their perspectives on life's meaning. Then, we offer a unique argument from a Muslim perspective, exploring the concept of divine design in the universe and its implications for human purpose.

You have no need to prove god to a atheist, give the message and move on simple! Your duty is to give the message thats it, its god who guides to the truth, if they dont beleive then leave them to it!

As an atheist I want to thank you for this video but also have to point out that there are some logical errors in your arguments. First of all, live does not mean that universe is some way tuned for that. There are number of observable galaxies is around 2 trillion. That means quite good probability for livable planets also. Secondly, there is such a thing as randomness. The meaning for that is that there are way too many factors for us to predict what is going to happen. And that is also meant by that live became from random events. Third, none of this proofs that there had to be some body "intelligent" designing this all. Many things happen naturally, live evolves so it can survive. Fourth, Even if this was result of intelligent design, it would not mean necessarily a god. We can be part of simulation for example. And finally, if there was a god it could be any of those humans have believed during history or something none of us know. So because of that, there isn't really a proof for existence of any god.
Any way, I am happy that you have something that gives your live a purpose and you are happy with that. I have no intentions to try to debunk anything or proof anything wrong as it is meaningless, I wanted just point that out. I wish you all the best

Assalamu Alaikum! What if a person believes in God and says that God is one, but he doesn't believe in any scripture, saying that they were all created by man?

[BennyBlanco]

There’s no other option……..er spoke to scientists mate ?

[BennyBlanco]

Muslims claim nothing can come from nothing. But then claim god didn’t come from nothing because he’s eternal. So why can’t the universe be eternal ?

[rootsheepnot]

We only have one universe so it’s a very small sample size, Maybe the universe couldn’t be any other way…. Show me a universe that isn’t fine-tuned? Most of the planets show no life, so hardly shows fine-tuned for life, people have died from. Hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning, volcanic eruptions etc etc, through evolution we have over time adapted to our environment…..

[UzbekExMuslim]

Why do you need to prove God? Isn’t it obvious as you guys claim? I can’t fathom your logic 😶

[luqmannasser]

1400 years and this is the best argument for God muslims have? yikes

Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending any acknowledgment as to the reality of any particular god until sufficient credible evidence is presented. My position is that *_I currently have no good reason to acknowledge the reality of any god._*

And here is why I currently hold to such a position. Below are 11 facts I must consider when evaluating the claim made by certain theists that a particular god exists in reality. To be clear, these are not premises for any argument which _concludes_ there to be no gods. These are simply facts I must take into account when evaluating the verity of such a claim. If any of the following facts were to be contravened at a later time by evidence, experience, or sound argument, I would THEN have good reason to acknowledge such a reality.

1. I have never been presented with a functional definition of a god.
2. I personally have never observed a god.
3. I have never encountered any person who has claimed to have observed a god.
4. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity.
5. I have never been presented with any _valid_ logical argument, which also introduced demonstrably true premises that lead deductively to an inevitable conclusion that a god(s) exists in reality.
6. Of the many logical syllogisms I have examined arguing for the reality of a god(s), I have found all to contain a formal or informal logical fallacy or a premise that can not be demonstrated to be true.
7. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon.
8. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._
9. I have never knowingly experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event.
10. Every phenomenon that I have ever observed appears to have *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity.
11. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have been presented have either been refuted to my satisfaction or do not present as _falsifiable._

ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the reality of any particular god.

I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgment until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstantiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._*

I welcome any cordial response. Peace.

Won't work, mere words, whether written or spoken, will NEVER convince me of any deities. If any do, let them speak for themselves IN PERSON.

[Theo_Skeptomai]

I welcome anyone to try to convince me that a particular god exists in reality. I am all ears.
