Atheists say: “There’s no evidence for God.”
Fair enough. Let’s examine naturalism by the same standard.
Show me the evidence for:
1. Something from nothing
Not “quantum fluctuations.” Not “virtual particles.” Actual nothing—no fields, no laws, no dimensions—becoming something. Every experiment requires pre-existing conditions. That’s not nothing; that’s everything.
2. Infinite physical history
Entropy increases. Stars die. Energy dissipates. An eternal past means infinite decay already happened. We shouldn’t exist. Yet here we are.
3. The multiverse
Infinite universes conveniently explain fine-tuning without God. But they’re unobservable, untestable, unfalsifiable. That’s not science—it’s science fiction with equations.
4. Life from chemistry
Seventy years. Billions in funding. Zero self-replicating cells from scratch. Every “breakthrough” requires intelligent intervention. Miller-Urey made amino acids, not life. We can’t even define life, much less create it.
5. New biological systems from random errors
Show me mutations building—not breaking—complex, coordinated organs. We see shuffled traits, damaged genes, occasional benefits from loss of function. We never see random processes writing new genetic symphonies.
6. Code without a coder
DNA stores, retrieves, error-corrects, and translates symbolic information. Name one other example of functional code arising without intelligence. Just one.
7. Consciousness from electrons
Neuroscience maps correlations, not causation. No equation predicts awareness. No experiment produces first-person experience from third-person matter.
8. Mathematical universe without a mathematician
Reality runs on elegant equations discovered, not invented, by minds. Why should chaos produce calculable cosmos? Why should ape brains comprehend quantum mechanics?
9. Uniform laws from random events
Science assumes nature’s laws won’t change tomorrow. But if everything’s ultimately random, why the consistency? “It just is” isn’t an explanation.
10. Objective morality from subjective molecules
If we’re just atoms, Holocaust = hydrogen bond breaking. Yet everyone lives as if evil is real. Even relativists rage against injustice.
The Scorecard:
Naturalism requires faith in:
Causeless effects
Infinite regression
Unobservable dimensions
Abiogenesis without demonstration
Information without intelligence
Mind from mindlessness
Order from chaos
“Ought” from “is”
That’s not evidence. That’s assumption stacked on assumption.
Theism makes one claim: Mind precedes matter.
From that, logic, law, life, and love make sense. Evidence itself makes sense.
We don’t reject science. We reject the philosophy wearing its lab coat.
