The Tide Has Finally Turned Against Scientific Atheism
2025-06-11
[American Thinker] On a recent podcast episode, Joe Rogan and his guest Cody Tucker found themselves in a discussion that was clearly skeptical of the atheistic consensus among prominent thinkers of the past few generations.

That atheistic consensus generally states that the following is true. There was obviously once a Great Nothingness that suddenly became our universe and the existence of everything within it -- and all of this happened for no reason whatsoever.

Rogan asks a question that every person has likely asked themselves countless times, "wouldn’t it be crazy if there wasn’t something at some point in time? That seems even crazier than [to think] there has always been something."

He's not wrong.

To believe that nothing suddenly became everything for no reason whatsoever is an act of pure faith based upon no observable data. What’s more, the proclamation itself an act of heresy for scientific atheists.

The First Law of Thermodynamics insists that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. And yet, the idea that energy was once created from nothing is presumed by the scientific consensus to have occurred with a singular event called The Big Bang.

Simply put, this is the description of a miracle. Not only should it have not happened, but it scientifically cannot have happened at all. And yet the belief that this one event occurred is the foundation of countless atheists’ faith.

#9  To continue in atheism, I would need to believe that nothing produces everything, non-life produces life, randomness produces fine-tuning, chaos produces information, unconsciousness produces consciousness, and non-reason produces reason. I simply didn’t have that much faith.

#4  The big bang is, per current theory, powered by the energy of the vacuum. There is some evidence of vacuum energy but it is not really understood.

#3  Science is indeed never settled and thus is not really concerned with religion. Science depends on falsifiability and is indeed ritualized amd institutionalized doubt.

Religion and science don't really mix and science used to prove the existence or non-existence of a god is pseudoscience since it will promote last truths, not temporary solutions subject to falsification.

As for morality, in the last 100 years alone humanity has seen hell on earth built in the name of one god, in the name of many gods and in the name of no god.

#1  Atheists are just Christian and America haters, mostly.
They wrecked society and made way for Critical Theory to do the rest.
