This is a Baha’i article I came across. Please kindly share your views. I had it sent to me by email so there is no link to it so I had to screenshot it if that’s ok.
It may be well intentioned, but it has some problems in the initial assumptions.
First when trying to prove something exists, such as God, you shouldn't start with something that cannot be proven to exist, such as atoms. Scientists have been trying to find out what atoms are and to verify that they are objects, but the atom remains mostly empty space and the rest of it mostly unknown. Like magnetism we can use atoms but cannot say that they are real. Saying that they are definitely real is unscientific. Scientifically we have hypothesis about them such as that maybe they are real or that maybe they are hollow or shadows or that they are transient. How can you, based upon that, then say that because you know atoms are real that God must be. The argument makes a bad assumption.
The second assumption is the assumption that 'Causation' is understood. It is not. In particular Mathematicians have attempted to explore through geometry what is beginning and what is ending. Instead they have found that geometries exist for things which become themselves: such as the Klein bottle geometry. This means that we cannot presume that causation has a beginning. It is a hypothesis only. Suppose that time is in some shape that leads back to its own beginning? The argument presumes that time doesn't, but this presumption is without basis. In nature there are many cycles. Why can't time be one of them? I'm not saying it is, but I can't prove it isn't either.
The third assumption that has a problem is the assumption of composition. Are atoms truly separate items, or are they linked items? There is enough evidence to hypothesize that they may not be separate items. In fact they seem to be linked in the past when it appears that they were all compressed together into a small space. How they are linked or separate is unclear. That they are real and not some unreal construct is also unclear. What is real? The evidence does not provide an answer. It provides only models of reality.
The fourth, the principle of limitation, ignores how dynamic systems operate. Sometimes dynamic systems operate cyclically, seemingly self caused. Usually they have a beginning, however that may not always be true when we are talking about 'Reality' outside of laboratories and proofs of God. If God were merely part of nature then that would be another thing, but God isn't part of nature at least not the one we are talking about nor is reality subject to laws of nature necessarily.
Discovering reality seems a lot like a logical puzzle, however many times logical puzzles cannot be solved despite appearances. Consider a minesweeper game. You can always solve most of a minesweeper puzzle, however you may get a puzzle that has a bomb hidden in one of several tiny places which can only be found by taking a chance of getting blown to pieces. Then logic fails. So it is with proofs of God -- so far.
