A Letter to an Atheist

This essay develops a concise philosophical argument concerning contingency, explanatory termination, necessary being, and divine hiddenness. It argues that an infinite regress of existentially dependent realities does not adequately account for existence and that a necessary ground of being offers a more coherent explanatory terminus than a brute contingent universe. Drawing on the classical theist tradition, the essay further examines divine simplicity, timelessness, and the limits of empirical methods in addressing metaphysical questions.
