In his article "On being an atheist", Mccloskey gives some statements which seem to support the non-presence of God, atheism. He does this by using some cases presented by theists at a general level and focusing even more on the Christian God. The cases are isolated in a few segments, after which he sets out his opposing arguments. During the presentation, he gives a concise overview of the claims made by theists, which he refers to as "confirmations," ensuring that none of the evidence constitutes sufficient support for accepting that God exists. Despite the fact that one of the verifications may not indicate the presence of God, all the evidence together gives strong confirmation of the presence of God, recognizing their agreement or lack of disagreement. Regardless, if God's presence focuses on such demonstrations, its verifications or complaints that God does not exist are also questionable. Concerning the cosmological argument, the first assertion he puts in the way is that the "negligible presence of the world constitutes there is no reason to put forward such a being [i.e. an essentially existing being ]” (Mccloskey 51). The fact that there are animals on the planet that do not know how they began to exist implies that some beings must have been there with a specific end goal to bring about their presence, otherwise these animals might not have been present since the beginning. the path could not be infinite (Evans and Manis 73). On the planet almost every event must be created by something, a tree cannot fall if it is not cut down or too old to stand. In this sense, the presence of the universe must depend on a cause that was not provoked, because the reasons are not unlimited. As in middle of paper ......e confirmation of his assertions. From the verifications given by theists, it is clear that they are integrated and incongruous with each other. On the first argument, he realizes that a creator existed out of belligerence and is dislodged by development. This may not be genuine, as indicated by the illustration given and also how everything that exists must have had a beginning. The reasons cannot be infinite, it is important that there is a stand-alone cause and not created by an alternative reason.ReferencesCraig William Lane.
