Critical Thinking Critical thinking is a topic oft raised by members of the atheist community. We often like to promote ourselves as ‘the rational ones’, and we often see atheists telling members of the theist community that they need to apply critical thinking to their beliefs. How many atheists have … Continue reading
Life, purpose and dealing with death If you are reading this, you might be alive. You might be a computer program, simulating my life to me. We never know. To me, cogito ergo sum, to you, not so much. I think, therefore I am. But I don’t know that you … Continue reading
THE FINE TUNING ARGUMENT DEBUNKED BY SCIENCE (And Holy Koolaid) The fine tuning argument is the most overused argument in the creationists’ toolkit. If you’re not familiar with the fine-tuning argument, it goes something like this: The parameters for life are so finely tuned that if they were tweaked ever … Continue reading
Abortion is a very sensitive topic with a lot of high charged emotions flying about. If you remove the emotional element it is easy to see either sides point, but there are a few things that should be cleared up from either perspective. Pro-Choice does not mean Pro-Abortion There seems … Continue reading
I get asked all the time why atheists are so angry. The short answer is we’re not, but if we do get angry it’s because we give a damn. One hundred years – It’s not that long. There are people alive today older than that. My grandmother’s pushing that milestone. … Continue reading
Answers in Reason does exactly what it says on the tin. It provides you Answers to life’s questions, found through Logic and Reason.
Some people think that the answers are in Genesis!? There is even a site called Answers in Genesis that is dedicated to trying to prove this. If you have read the Bible, you will know that Genesis creates more questions than it answers. This is why a whole site was set up to justify, excuse, rationalise, and muddle its way through the Bible.
Unlike Answers In Genesis and similar sites, Answers in Reason is not a one trick pony. We look at all religions and science, and provide you with rational explanations, and evidence for our thoughts and findings.
The Main Categories on Answers In Reason are:
Religion: Here we explore all religions and theological positions. Whilst Atheism is not a religion, and is just the lack of belief in God/Gods/Deities, you can find it as a sub category here, as it is addressing the topic of religion.
Science: Here we explore evidence for scientific theories, and everything science has to offer. We also compare Science with Pseudoscience and other new age nonsense like the anti-vax movement.
Philosophy: This can cross in to the two genres above and deals with matters of the unknown or personal nature. It is often more emotive and hypothetical than the scientific sections of the site.
Misc: This contains articles that may not fit elsewhere on the site, but are a good read anyway.
Answers in Reason's authors are critical, logical thinkers. We are open to the fact we may be wrong on certain issues, like the existence of a god. Presently we are all Atheists, as there is no evidence for God's existence. We understand the difference between evidence and claims. For example; the Bible is just the claim of God, and contains no evidence to support his existence. If anything, all the errors and contraditcions in the bible turn people the other way.
As such, if you notice any errors in our articles, please don't hesitate to contact us with supporting evidence so that we can promptly make a change.
Answers in Reason is always looking for new Authors. To become a contributor all you have to do is sign up, either with your Facebook account or email address, and you can start writing posts for us. All posts go through a moderation process before they are released to the public, but you will retain full credit for your work.

Communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. That relationship could be intimate, interactions with a colleague, a friendship, or dialogue with some random you meet on the internet. Misunderstandings are inevitable. The same communication can also be the thing that destroys relationships. It is even easier to misenterpret what … Continue reading

His studies of specimens around the globe led him to formulate his theory of evolution and his views on the process of natural selection. What did … Continue reading

Many years before humans grazed this earth the dinosaurs roamed the wild, king of the lands. A “Young Earth Creationist” or YEC will argue that dinosaurs were around with humans circa 6000 years ago. An “Old Earth Creationist” or OEC will be open to dinosaurs being around millions of years … Continue reading
Defining Apologetics Apologetics may be simply defined as the defense of the faith. The simplicity of this definition, however, masks the complexity of the problem of defining apologetics. It turns out that a diversity of approaches has been taken to defining the meaning, scope, and purpose of apologetics. From Apologia … Continue reading

Below are some memes created by Lord Cropes to answer their common questions and misconceptions. He’s definitely worth of follow on twitter if you … Continue reading
