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.

According to many philosophers, especially ancient philosophers, the secret to having a life worth living, is not only to examine your life, but to actively aspire to being a good person. What is a good person, though? Many may think about being a successful, charitable, kind, funny, and inspiring. How … Continue reading
The idea that there is design in the universe, and that this design is evidence of a designer, is an argument often put forward by believers. The argument from design is one that is easy to draw the listener into, and can be quite compelling to those that look only … Continue reading
“The unexamined life is not worth living”, quoth Socrates in Plato’s apology. By this statement, Socrates shows us the very essence of philosophy and science; To enrich our lives by understanding it, or at least have a kind of fascination with it. It should go unchallenged, that that which fascinates … Continue reading
This article is to define and discuss objective and subjective, morals and morality. As with any article on AiR we don’t always agree. Where science is concerned and the evidence is irrefutable we of course accept and believe it to be true. When it is opinion or something philosophical we … Continue reading

In today’s society of theists you tend to find you have those who are rather liberal in their attitude to their holy book. They take it as a metaphor, understand it is dated, written by humans, imperfect, and lean on the good examples it provides. The other is the fundamentalists, … Continue reading
“The Bible is inerrant!” is something quite commonly said in debate. It’s part of the circular reasoning: “The Bible is the word of God, because it tells us so, God is perfect, therefore the Bible is infallible.” We have a number of articles that address things like: Common Theistic Fallacies … Continue reading
Often in debate folks identify their position as one of the 3; Theist, Atheist, Agnostic. Some folks will sometimes use a combination e.g. Agnostic Atheist/Weak Atheist. It might surprise you, as it did me, that some of the definitions of terms we use are not strictly accurate. Language does indeed … Continue reading
