ABSTRACT
This chapter, discusses the numerous arguments for and against the existence of God. It begins with one of the oldest arguments for the existence of God from the modern era. In other words, if we conclude that God exists using the ontological argument, then Satan has an equal probability of existing. Collins claims that the simultaneous occurrence of the precise conditions, called the six constants, required to create life as we know it are so improbable as to require God to explain it. Demoralization of the human race is undesirable because we need to believe in a moral order. Belief in God makes it easier to accept that there is a universal moral order in the world. Atheism that consists entirely in vacuous arguments afloat on oceans of historical ignorance, made turbulent by storms of strident self-righteousness, is as contemptible as any other form of dreary fundamentalism.
