“Has anyone provided proof of God’s inexistence?
Not even close.
Has
quantum cosmology explained the emergence of the universe or why it is
here?
Not even close.
Have our sciences explained why our universe seems
to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life?
Not even close.
Are physicists and biologists willing to believe in anything so long as
it is not religious thought?
Close enough.
Has rationalism and moral
thought provided us with an understanding of what is good,
what is right, and what is moral?
Not close enough.
Has secularism in
the terrible 20th century been a force for good?
Not even close, to
being close.
Is there a narrow and oppressive orthodoxy in the sciences?
Close enough.
Does anything in the sciences or their philosophy justify
the claim that religious belief is irrational?
Not even in the ball
park.
Is scientific atheism a frivolous exercise in intellectual
contempt?
Dead on.”
― David Berlinski, The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions
An exploration of the movement within Christianity that describes faith in God as something reasonable, scientific, intelligent, tangible, and practical.
