A few favorites of professional apologists:

* [[Ontological argument]]
* [[God of the shrinking gaps]]: things that were previously attributed to God have since been explained by naturalism
* [[Transcendental argument]]
* [[Argument from inconsistent revelations]]: if God existed, we would expect general agreement on religion
* [[Kalam]]
* [[Observations fit abiogenesis better than a designer God]]: abiogenesis requires a vast universe, God does not.
* The [[problem of evil]]: why does God allow bad things to happen?

Religions Wiki is intended to provide information on apologetics and counter-apologetics. We'll be collecting common arguments and providing responses, information and resources to help counter the glut of misinformation and poor arguments which masquerade as evidence for religious claims.

The complexity of issues surrounding religion ensures that any proper assessment requires us to delve into a number of philosophical, historical and sociological topics. Our ultimate goal is to provide a robust and definitive resource for:

  • atheists seeking responses to common apologetic arguments
  • theists who are questioning the efficacy of their beliefs
  • apologists who feel that their "pet" argument is above reproach
  • individuals of any philosophical ideal who have an interest in religious studies
