Atheism and Morality: A Logical Fallacy Debate Sparks Online Discussion

In a recent online video, a debate sparked between a man questioning the basis of morality for atheists and another man countering with a logical fallacy. The first man's challenge questioned the existence of objective value or purpose for humanity without a divine being. "Why should I believe that humans have any sort of objective value or purpose?" he asked. The second man responded by explaining the "Appeal to Consequences Fallacy". He used the example of gravity: "If the consequence of the fact that gravity exists means that I might not survive a fall, that doesn't mean gravity doesn't exist." This illustrates that the negative consequences of a belief or lack of belief do not invalidate its truth. The exchange highlights the ongoing discussion surrounding faith, reason, and the meaning of life in a secular world, prompting viewers to consider their own perspectives.
