I wonder if you’ll find this as fascinating as I do: a smart atheist has a conversation with ChatGPT over one of the major arguments for God’s existence, with the conclusion being ChatGPT saying it’s a fact that God exists.
The atheist in question is Alex O'Connor, known as the Cosmic Skeptic and host of the Within Reason podcast, where he regularly talks with both atheists and believers. To be precise, Alex is what’s called an “agnostic atheist,” a position that encompasses both atheism and agnosticism. Agnostic atheists default to atheism because they don’t acknowledge any supernatural deity and claim the existence of one is either unknowable in principle or currently unknown in fact.
I wonder which way Alex is leaning now? You can watch the video of his ChatGPT discussion here, in which he throws the argument from contingency at the AI bot to see what will happen.
If you’re not aware, the argument from contingency starts with the idea that everything in the universe is either a necessary being or a contingent being. Since not everything can be contingent (dependent on something else for its existence), there must be a necessary being (a being that exists by its own nature, not because of something else) that is the ultimate cause or explanation for the existence of all contingent beings.
