A Critique of Pure Atheism

Last updated on: March 14, 2023 at 1:59 am By Andrew Likoudis

No Empirical proof for Empiricism Proving or disproving the existence of God is a predominantly rationalistic endeavor, not an empirical one, rendering modern atheism’s positive belief in God’s non-existence a non-sequitur. It is always an error to limit truth-seeking to empiricism alone when aiming for a rationalistic conclusion. Modern atheism, in its insistence upon using empiricism as an all-purpose tool, does so in pursuit of the exact question that transcends it as a discipline. When empiricism fails to render a...
