In his article, "On being an atheist", McCloskey provides some theses that seem to support the non-presence of God, atheism. It does so by using some cases presented by theists on a general level and also focusing even more on the Christian God. The cases are isolated into a few segments after which he lays out his counterarguments. During the presentation, he gives a brief review of the arguments put forward by theists, which he calls "confirmations", guaranteeing that none of the evidence is sufficient to accept that God exists. Despite the fact that one of the tests may not indicate the presence of God, all the tests together give solid confirmation of the presence of God by acknowledging their agreement or lack of disagreement. In any case, if God's presence is concentrated around such demonstrations, his verifications or complaints that God does not exist are also questionable. there is no purpose in valuing 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 is an implication that some beings must having been there with a specific end purpose to cause their presence, otherwise these animals may no longer be present since 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 not cut or too old to hold. In this sense, the existence of the universe must depend on a cause that was not caused because the reasons are not unlimited. . and confirmation of his arguments. From the checks provided by theists, it is clear that they include and are inconsistent with each other. In the first statement, he realizes that a producer existed thanks to belligerence and is removed from the development. This may not be authentic, as indicated by the illustration provided and also how everything that exists must have had a beginning. The reasons cannot be infinite, it is important that there was an autonomous cause and not created by an alternative reason. References Craig William Lane.
