Top Ten (Failed) Proofs for God's Existence

A ten-part series examining Christian apologist and radio talk show host Bob Dutko’s Top 10 Proofs for the Existence of God. There are many failed arguments for God’s existence but there is one which is fundamental to them all. This is the Argument from Ignorance. Take virtually any aspect of our natural world that we don’t fully understand and you’ll find someone claiming God is at the end of that dimly-lit tunnel. In his reasoning, Bob uses some of the following arguments:

1. Shifting the Burden of Proof – I know God exists. If you disagree, prove otherwise. Oh you say you can’t prove God doesn’t exist? That’s because you know he does!

 2, Argument from Popularity – The vast majority of the world believes in God. This supports the universal truth that God is real, otherwise it makes no sense that so many people would believe.

 3. The Transcendental Argument – God is, by definition, a being greater than which nothing can be conceived (imagined). Existence in reality is better than existence in one’s imagination. God must exist in reality; if God did not, then God would not be that than which nothing greater can be conceived (imagined).

4. Argument from Coercion – You must believe in God/Jesus. It’s your only hope for salvation. We are all doomed if we don’t accept Jesus as our personal savior. It says so in the Bible. If you want to live forever and avoid suffering, you must accept God.

5. First Cause Argument – Everything that exists in our world is the result of some sort of “first cause” which brought about its existence. Therefore, there must have been a force which created the universe. That “first cause” is what we call God. Also known as Cosmological Argument.

6. Argument from Authority – God is real because the Bible (or whatever sacred text you believe in) says so. Why would so many people write so much about God if it wasn’t true?

7. Argument from Personal Experience – I know god exists because I can feel him. I know it in my heart; he talks to me; I feel his strength and existence flow through every fiber of my being.

 8. Argument from Improbability – The second law of thermodynamics says matter inevitably becomes entropic (spreads out in chaos) and this defies the observation on Earth where we see, things becoming more organized. Therefore God is responsible.

9. Pascal’s Wager – It is a “safe bet” to believe in God just in case he is real. What’s the harm? If you believe and he doesn’t exist, you don’t lose anything, but if you don’t believe and he does exist, you lose big time.

 10. Argument from Design – If you found a watch on the ground, you never met the watchmaker, but you know from its design, the beauty of it; the way each piece was intricately designed to work together, that this watch had a creator. Theists point to the human body; the precise way each of our organs work with each other and claim it’s the most amazing “creation” of all, and surely there was some sort of creator ehind it.
