David Falls

In this essay David Falls examines belief in God through the lens of rational inquiry, arguing that the concept of God fails to meet the standards of clarity, evidence, and logical coherence demanded by reason. Drawing on Bertrand Russell's teapot analogy and a cascade of moral, metaphysical, and epistemological critiques, the piece exposes how theological claims rest on unfalsifiable premises and speculative abstractions. The argument addresses common defenses such as postmortem justice and divine immanence, showing how they defer accountability or collapse into vagueness. Ultimately, the essay contends that faith without form or testability cannot withstand intellectual scrutiny—and that traditional theism dissolves under the weight of reasoned examination.
