Maybe it doesn't validate a specific form of Divinity, it clearly moves us in that direction since acknowledgment of a Necessary Being leads to further questions about the nature of that Being. To me the way some atheists tenaciously deny the obvious truth of the argument demonstrates that their resistance is irrational. That could be due to fear of the implications, willful ignorance, stubbornness, some of the above or simply something else. Whatever it is, their reason for rejecting the argument is basically emotional.
