Welcome to the first full article in the Hunters & Seekers Apologetics series, Why I Am Not.

In this article, Ron Birchall of Bupp Call Company looks at atheism and the questions that come with it. Why is there something rather than nothing? Where do morality, meaning, consciousness, and the order of the universe come from? Is belief in God unreasonable, or are there good reasons to believe that something more exists beyond the material world?

The goal of this article is not to insult atheists or pretend that every question has an easy answer. It is an honest look at the arguments, the evidence, and the reasons I personally do not believe atheism gives the best explanation for the world we live in.

A new part of the Why I Am Not series will be released every Sunday as we continue through atheism, agnosticism, Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Catholicism, and finally, why I am a Christian.

Comments are encouraged. Feel free to share your thoughts, questions, disagreements, or perspectives below. Respectful discussion is welcome, and I hope this series gives people a reason to think more deeply about what they believe and why they believe it.

In the first article of the series, I look at atheism and some of the biggest questions it raises about existence, morality, meaning, and the universe itself. I examine whether a world without God truly explains what we see around us better than belief in a Creator. This is not an attempt to mock atheists, but an honest explanation of why I do not believe atheism gives the best account of reality. Comments, questions, and respectful disagreement are always welcome.
