scientific method. Science is about the ‘how’. Christianity and the Holy Bible are about the ‘why’.
Many Atheists pride themselves on their reason. A problem that atheism has got is that reason itself cannot be relied upon if it is based only on blind, random neurological events.
As to the question, “Is Atheism rational?” we have seen that science cannot answer the question of where the universe came from, or how it began. We have seen that because this is so, the Big Bang Theory does not exclude the existence of God. We have seen that evolution and science cannot answer the question of where life came from and it is chemically impossible for life to begin naturally. We have seen that evolution is contradicted by the fossil evidence and that evolution through mutation is not viable. In fact human mutations cause thousands of diseases. We have seen that Carbon dating is not a viable technique for anything more than 50 thousand years old.
God can neither be proved nor disproved, though in the light of what has been said is there any other rational alternative?
So, is atheism rational? Is it reasonable? I leave you to make your own mind up. I will say the odds against it are overwhelming, yet some will still adhere to it from purely philosophical grounds. This will not be rational!
There is an alternative. We can have a relationship with God through faith in His Son, Jesus. Would you like this faith? I suggest reading Mark’s Gospel in an attitude of “God, if you are there, please reveal Yourself to me.” I’m not suggesting you kiss your brains goodbye, far from it. Ask all the questions you like.
