The philosophical similarities and differences in the three readings
All the books accept the existence of a supreme leader who is responsible for creating the universe. In the "Plight of the New Atheism," Habermas "accepts that the universe might have originated from an alien supercomputer" (Habermas, 2008). However, Craig maintains that if humans claim to have ended God's life, they orphaned themselves (Craig, 2000). This shows that the author acknowledges the existence of God. The writer continues to argue that when there is no existence of God, then the "universe" and "man" are subjected to death. This continues to show that God has great powers over His creation.
On the other hand, the three books are not the same based on suffering. However, they all accept that suffering will occur to every person, both Christians and "atheists." In his argument, Thomas claims that the total volume of suffering is higher than all decent reviews. Many times, humans want to know why they suffer. With the existence of illnesses, such as cancer and natural disasters like earthquakes, suffering is amplified. He argues that misery is perceived in the brain. This implies that Thomas sees suffering to be a thing of the mind. However, Craig accepts the fact that humans go through suffering. The final consequence of human suffering is death. Therefore, Craig believes that suffering is a condition that results from a person's sphere of influence (Craig, 2000).

Some atheists strongly believe that if "God does not exist," human life has no meaning, in the sense that there is no point in living. Without God, life has no meaning because humans exist with purpose–a driving force that ensures the continuation and sense of life. Though there is no reason why the role of humans should be essential to life's meaning, their contribution sets out a significant impact on the universe's development. Yet, their lives are still pointless. They believe that as a human with purpose, why would their worth be significant in the grand scheme of things when they are set to fulfill a role that is of great importance?
Furthermore, human life is meaningless without the Supreme Being since they are deprived of the utmost cosmic importance– the one that will set the standard that will be the guide to do what is required of them. Habermas quotes Sam Hairs in his book by saying, "the truth is that no one knows how or why the universe came into being." If t...
