Atheism The Opponent of Science and Adversary of Reason

The answer to this question is through two main axes: the first axis is about the formal, undeclared reasons that pushed the West to atheism. The second axis is about the real, fundamental, undeclared reasons that led them to this trend. In light of these two axes, the research analyzes these reasons, and presents the appropriate rational and religious criticisms of them

which is distinguished in many aspects from old or traditional atheism. These include the epistemological, value, and methodological aspect. This article shed light on the new aspect that characterizes contemporary atheism, which is the methodological aspect in how the new atheists formulate their inferences and proofs, and the most important methods they rely on to convey their atheistic ideas. After examining the most important aspects of methodology adopted by the new atheists, which were sometimes represented by a commercial marketing method in using information, and sometimes by using a lifestyle based on secularism to judge the values of religion, we moved on to criticize these aspects and point out the most important aspects of their shortcomings.

The first is the genetic mutation in all living organisms, the second is the survival of the best or natural selection, and the third is reproduction, which ensures the transmission of this new gene to subsequent generations. Then the article addresses three problems that played a major role in clarifying the theory. The article discusses also the most important narratives about impulsive creation in various religions. Judaism believed in impulsive creation and also specified a time for the beginning of creation, and so did Christianity due to its belief in the Old Testament. As for the Islamic religion, it believed in what the Qur'an mentioned, which is man was created in his movement form since Allah (Almighty) created him. The article also talks about the approach that was proposed in the sciences of jurisprudence and the sciences of Qur’an regarding dealing with the religious text, and distinguishes between the apparent and the content, and how to deal with each of them. The conclusion is that the apparent meaning of Islamic religious texts speaks of impulsive creation, and we cannot deny this unless there is conclusive evidence to contradict it.

Since it is the first block of society, its disorder is reflected in the disorder of society, and vice versa. Because society faces a dangerous phenomenon, namely the phenomenon of atheism, this article focuses on researching the effects of atheism on the family and society, indicating that atheism has produced a number of deviant movements, tendencies and ideas, which have harmed the concept of the family, its formation and harmony, and undermined its role in society. The article also showed the difference between the divine, monotheistic vision of the family, and the atheistic vision that believes in freedom of relations between the sexes and the freedom to choose one’s sexual identity, where instinct replaced innate nature, and the value system collapsed, which was reflected on the individual and society with the spread of the culture of individualism, benefit, and materialism. Human society became a society without a soul, and the family, instead of providing spiritual housing and moral stability, has become a source of anxiety, turmoil, and lack of security and safety.

this religion encountered a phenomenon known as heresy, which can be considered the equivalent of contemporary atheism. The Imams, peace be upon them, have confronted this phenomenon by demonstrating the strength of their evidence and the goodness of their explanation, and following a clear Quran methodology based on adopting wisdom, good preaching, and arguing in the best way. In addition to this general approach, contemplating the Imams' words, peace be upon them, guides us to a number of methods they adopted in discussing atheists. These methods include: Scientific prestige, increase clarification and explanation, taking into account the situation of the addressee, Pascal's Wager, positive shock method, moving the addressee from denial to agnosticism, leaving the dispute to the opponent, accurate reading and familiarity with other people’s words and personalities, and pay attention to the form of the speech. Given that the phenomenon of contemporary atheism and heresy share a number of main principles; it is possible that we can benefit today in confronting atheism from these methods, in order to raise the banner of truth and Islam.

in addition to the problems directed by non-religious people to this doctrine, prompted us to address them, through analysis and criticism of the proposal presented by Anthony Flew as a skeptic of revelation. Because the religion that Flew discussed is Christianity, we had the opportunity to investigate its most important doctrines and discuss them on a rational and historical bases.This research briefly studies the evidence established by Anthony Flew, professor of philosophy at Oxford University, and Nicholas Wright, the Bishop of Durham, and investigated the doctrines they arrived at. The first was a representative of the “non-religious” and the second was a representative of the church. The research concludes the necessity of revelation and prophecies, and questioned some of the basic doctrines of the Christian religion.

 by presenting a comparative study of what is stated in the texts of theological interpretations, analyzing and discussing them, in order to reach their true meaning.Among the most important results obtained:1- Theological schools agree on the matter of the appearance [Zuhur] of the Mahdi at the end of time.2- Referring to the Mu'tazilism, Ash'arism, and Shiite schools, it became clear that there are differences that originate from the school’s belief in the rule of divine kindness, and similarities that are due to the adoption of some texts that talk about Mahdi [Imam Mahdi, peace be upon him] at the end of time.The study required relying on several approaches, the most important of which are: the descriptive approach, the analytical approach, and the critical approach.

after about five decades lost in atheism, searching and wondering about the meaning of life and the reason for existence, even though he grew up in a Christian family, but he chose to search alone on the journey of reason, science, investigation, and contemplation, until he reached a firm conviction that there is a Creator, Existent, and God of this universe, basing his long journey on many rational and scientific considerations. It is clear after reviewing this book - which deserves to be read and reviewed well - that the experience of its author is a rich, important and vital experience, not only for the writer and those around him, but also for everyone who wants to engage his mind with awareness and contemplation, with the aim of finding significance for himself in this life, based on the value of contemplation and thinking of various parts of the universe and existence, and contemplating Allah’s verses, their causes, and their wonderful, precise organization.

but extends to the intellectual, social and cultural communities. Every human community that is disturbed by crises and conflicts becomes vulnerable to scourges and diseases. The phenomenon of atheism' spread in the contemporary Arab world falls within this context, as it is a disease that has infiltrated our reality as a result of the crises that we are suffering from on multiple levels. The spread of atheism in our societies was the result of the recent weakness of resistance to it. Throughout history, atheism was a personal choice, but it was not an intellectual movement with clear features, or a propagating institution with its advocates and goals.

the researcher clarified the mental and logical imbalances in which the followers of these movements floundered, including the deism movement, which is considered one of the most dangerous types of new atheism, because it positioned itself as a middle ground between religion and atheism. This type of atheism was also introduced in a manner commensurate with this study, in order to inform the gentle reader of the bases and starting points of this atheism, which the movements belonged to it have taken them as starting points for their doctrines and ideas, and to clarify the approach followed by them, as well as to clarify the deistic conception of God. After that, the evidence was comprehensively criticized for most of the movements that they brought to support their thought and their cognitive doctrine.You will find these matters and others, gentle reader, in the study there.

We can claim that contemporary atheism has philosophical and cognitive roots. We cannot address this phenomenon in isolation from the cognitive and metaphysical questions raised by the materialistic trends that pave the way for atheism. The study reached several conclusions, including: The problem of atheistic philosophers is not with God, but with religions as a system, especially Christianity. This was reinforced by the practices of some church men. These philosophies could not provide evidence to deny the existence of Allah, and they also called for anarchism.

 so that humanity, his mind, and his personal attachments have no interest in them. Hence, the prophets and messengers came with heavenly messages to guide humanity. The prophets did not come with heavenly messages from their own ideas, but rather they came to them through revelation. 

This book - which we review in this article - sheds light on the issue of revelation, as an essential value in the system of religious beliefs, especially our Islamic religion. 

The author of the book explains the meaning of revelation, and elaborates on the deconstruction of this concept, showing the difference between it and other religious concepts; such as the concept of the prophetic experience, the concept of inspiration, the concept of mysticism, and others. The book also emphasizes that the phenomenon of revelation is a sacredness far removed from sense, experience, reason, conjecture, guess, whims of the psyche, the mood of the Prophet, and his inspiration. However, it is a special case, a special path, and a hidden connection and communication, which some of Allah’s sincere servants obtain, in order to receive the formative truths of existence and the messages of human perfection. They also obtain truths to convey to people on the path of guiding them to salvation and perfection, and building life on the foundations of justice and divine values.
