Ecclesiastes as internal critique of atheist/godless worldview, not normative theology

Mike argues Ecclesiastes oscillates between two worldviews: an atheistic/godless perspective (presented as internal critique) and the correct theistic worldview. Statements like "the dead know nothing" reflect the godless perspective. He contrasts this with Ecclesiastes's own affirmation of future judgment before God, showing the book does not consistently hold an annihilationist view.
