	Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The arguments against the existence of deities aim at showing that some particular conception of a god either is inherently meaningless, contradictory, or contradicts known scientific and/or historical facts, and that therefore a god thus described does not exist.
		Incoherency arguments like the argument from nonbelief, also known as the argument from divine hiddenness, a recently-developed argument against the existence of God.
		Arguments that theism promotes immorality, or, at the very least, eases the setting aside of conscience, often center around the contention that a great deal of violence (warfare, executions, murders and terrorism), has been brought about, condoned and justified by religious beliefs and practices.

	Atheism
		Strong atheism may be based on arguments that the concept of a deity is self-contradictory and therefore impossible (positive ignosticism), or that one or more of the properties attributed to a deity are incompatible with what we observe in the world.
		Other well-known positive arguments include theological noncognitivism, incoherency arguments (which seek to prove contradictions within the nature of "god"), atheistic teleological arguments, and the Transcendental argument for the non-existence of God.
		Arguments that theism promotes immorality often center around the contention that a great deal of violence, including war, has been brought about by religious beliefs and practices.

	The Argument from Nonbelief : A Rejoinder
		Argument (5) references 1 Timothy 2:4 which states that God "wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." Again the clear reference here is that God's desire (predominant or not) is for people's salvation not merely that they possess certain noetic content.
		This argument is a possible way God could be omnipotent in the way Drange (and orthodox Christianity) requires and still not be able to actualize S. It is important to understand the ontology of freedom leveraged in HF as an essential property of human creatures.
		That is, the argument stands or falls on the strength of the evidence that accrues for or against it.

	Atheism - 999 Atheism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		While a weak atheist might consider the nonexistence of deities likely on the basis that there is insufficient evidence to justify belief in a deity's existence, a strong atheist would add to this the additional view that positive statements of nonexistence are merited when there is a lack of evidence for something's existence.
		Strong atheism may be based on arguments that the concept of a deity is self-contradictory and therefore impossible (positive ignosticism), or on the assertion that any belief in the supernatural is not rationally justifiable.
		This argument ignores the fact that things have capabilities other than their primary "designed" capabilities: feathers meant for warmth proved capable of flight, human minds that in general are sufficient for survival though generalized capabilities have numerous capabilities not necessarily designed for.

	Gottlob Frege
		In these functional expressions, ‘()’ is used as a placeholder for what Frege called the arguments of the function; the placeholder reveals that the expressions signifying function are, on Frege's view, incomplete and stand in contrast to complete expressions such as those in (a), (b), and (c).
		Thus, a simple predication is analyzed in terms of falling under a concept, which in turn, is analyzed in terms of functions which map their arguments to truth values.
		Further discussion of this problem can be found in the entry on Russell's Paradox, and a more complete explanation of how the paradox arises in Frege's system is presented in the entry on Frege's logic, theorem, and foundations for mathematics.

	Theological Problems of Theistic Evolution
		This does not undermine the argument, but rather demonstrates how robust such objections are, and bow desperate the need to rethink traditional and cherished categories of thinking about origins.
		A genuine determination to express a biblical view of the creation challenges the most deeply held beliefs of most biologists, Christian and non-Christian alike.
		Gould was referring to absences in the fossil record, but the rule is appropriate for other records as well.
