Chapter 1: The Need for Enlightenment

In my previous writings on Medium, I have explored the themes of atheism and science extensively. I firmly believe that society would benefit significantly if organizations that propagate misleading beliefs—such as the fear-driven narratives of Christianity or the absurd claims of the Flat Earth Society—lost their followers.

To achieve this, we must actively demonstrate to those misled by these beliefs the truth behind the facade. If I can assist even one individual who has been caught up in this deception, I will consider it a victory, as that person may then contribute positively to the world.

One of the prevalent fallacies is the Kalam Cosmological Argument, which attempts to present a logical case for the existence of God and the creation of the universe. This argument can be shown to be flawed. Notably, physicist Michio Kaku argues that the universe has neither net charge nor mass, suggesting it originated from nothing. Recently, mathematical proofs have illustrated how a universe can spontaneously emerge from a state of nothingness. Thus, for those who assert that the universe is a permanent entity, it is essential to recognize that it is only a transient state that will ultimately return to nothingness. Renowned physicist Roger Penrose posits that Big Bang events occur repeatedly, with each new instance referred to as an "aeon."

The claim of an omnipotent and incorporeal God is another falsehood. Scientists utilize advanced telescopes to investigate the cosmos, finding no evidence of a deity. In response, proponents of religion often argue that God is incorporeal—lacking physical substance—and exists outside of space and time. However, this position is fundamentally flawed.

Section 1.1: The Problem with an Incorporeal God

The argument that a non-corporeal deity exists can be dismantled by demonstrating that such a being possesses no power. By applying Einstein's equation E=mc² and the formula for power (Power = Energy / time), we can see that if mass (m) is zero, energy (E) also equals zero. Consequently, if God has zero mass, then according to Power = 0 / time, such a deity possesses no power. While some may argue that God exists outside of our universe, this would imply He cannot hear or respond to prayers.

Chapter 2: Join the Enlightened Atheist Movement

The Enlightened Atheist Movement, initiated by Tony Berard, aims to foster a community grounded in science and knowledge. Together, we can challenge misleading ideologies and promote critical thinking for a better society.
