Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles In a theological debate, an atheist may propose a circular argument by asserting, "God is merely a man-made concept because all notions of God are inherently created by humans." This line of reasoning is inherently circular, as it employs the premise of God's concept being human-generated as proof of its artificiality. The argument essentially concludes that God is a man-made construct on the basis that concepts of God originate from human thought. However, this reasoning is circular because it assumes what it seeks to prove: the premise that all ideas of God are human creations is used to substantiate the conclusion that God, therefore, is a fabricated concept. This approach neglects to consider the possibility of a divine entity existing independently of human conceptualization, presupposing instead that the very act of human conception of God invalidates the existence of a divine being. Such an argument fails to provide external verification for its claim
