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.
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.
I'd suggest familiarising yourself with the categories above, however some articles that are great to start on are:
Abortion is a contentious issue in current times. There are many arguments both for and against, and it is a topic guaranteed to raise both emotions and heated arguments among people. One of the many arguments made to support the permissibility of abortion is that a foetus is not a … Continue reading

Racism. We don’t seem to get enough of this topic. Most of us have intuitive ideas of what constitutes racism, but only few of us have bravely waded through the proverbial swamp of grey areas, where questions like ‘is a subject to racism conforming to racials stereotypesa a form of … Continue reading
As we deal with getting to the truth of matters here at www.answers-in-reason.com I would like to introduce you to my wife Najwa who is a fraud investigator amongst othr things. This article was released earlier this morning on a fraud investigation site called www.secondmarshmallow.org which can be accessed here … Continue reading
This is part four of a four-part series. So God isn’t omnipotent. He’s still the Creator. When believers say, “God is beyond understanding, beyond definition,” they don’t really mean it. At the very least, I would say, there is one characteristic that provides a very clear definition of God: “God … Continue reading
This is part three of a four-part series. Is God all-knowing? Well, this is absurd on so many levels. If God was all-knowing then why were Adam and Eve punished (kicked out of the Garden of Eden) for eating of the forbidden fruit? Didn’t God see that one coming? Is … Continue reading
This is part two of a four-part series. What is the nature of the Abrahamic God? Besides creating the universe and life, what does He do? What are His superpowers? There have been many secondary claims made about the Abrahamic God: He is variously claimed to be omniscient, omnipotent, and … Continue reading
Is Value Entirely Subjective? When we speak of something’s value we speak of its ‘goodness’ (Crisp, 2016). Where does this ‘goodness’ come from though? Is something good only because an individual bestows goodness upon based upon their preference for it? In order to answer these kinds of questions we must … Continue reading
What “Proof of God” justifies your position? I begin a four-part series today. Philosophers, theologians, and scientists have been grappling with the issue of God’s existence for millennia. Much of the discussion in past centuries may have been motivated simply by curiosity or by a protest against theological dogma. For … Continue reading
Freedom of Speech Freedom of speech. An essential and beautiful right, that we all use to near exhaustion. We all have our ideas, our opinions and things we think “must be said”, and we have the freedom to say them; to communicate our ideas, present our opinions and to … Continue reading
