Who is wiser: the atheist or the believer?

Are Atheists more intelligent? Atheists consider themselves very wise and logical, and they make grand claims about their reasoning and logic, asserting that they are rational and logical, while religious people are illogical and irrational. Let's examine the peculiar logic and reasoning of atheists.۔

Nothing comes into existence without a cause

Both atheists and believers agree that the universe had a beginning.

Believers say that everything that has a beginning must have a cause that initiates it. Since the universe was created, it must have a creator.

Atheists acknowledge that the universe came into existence but believe that it does not have a creator.

The question is: Who is wiser? The believer, who attributes the creation (the effect) to a cause (the creator), or the atheist, who accepts the creation (the effect) without a cause (the creator)?

In other words, the atheist acknowledges that the Taj Mahal was built, but simultaneously believes that it was not built by anyone.

The double standard of atheists

Atheists accept the universe without a creator but demand a creator for God. If the universe can be accepted without a creator, why not God? The universe was born, and it is better to believe in a conscious being as God than in an unconscious universe. Every creation has a creator, but since the creator is not a creation itself, it does not require a creator.

Both atheists and believers believe in God

Both atheists and believers acknowledge the existence of a self-sustaining entity.Believers consider this entity to be the creator of the universe, describing it as living, self-sustaining, all-powerful, and possessing knowledge and wisdom. Atheists, on the other hand, regard the creator of the universe as something lifeless, unconscious, weak, helpless, and dependent—namely, matter and natural laws.

The peculiar logic of atheists 

A light bulb is created by someone, but the largest bulb, the Sun, was formed on its own without anyone's involvement. A computer has a creator, but the largest computer, the human body, does not have a creator. Every small thing in the world is made by someone, but this vast universe came into existence on its own. What amazing logic!In other words, a light bulb is made by Edison, but the Moon, Sun, and stars just appeared by themselves. Buildings are built by builders, but this vast universe came into existence on its own.

Are atheists in a better position or believers?

Assume that if atheists' belief is correct and there is no God, then atheists and believers are equal. However, if believers' belief is correct and God exists, and those who do not believe in Him and follow His laws will be cast into eternal fire, then atheists are at a significant loss in this situation.Now, consider whether it is more reasonable to believe in God or not, and whether believing in God is more beneficial than not believing.From the points mentioned, it becomes clear who is wise and who is not: the atheist or the believer?
