Not Likely a “Who”

Not Likely a “Who”

We are going to talk about one of the most pervasive arguments the Christians have been able to muster over the centuries. Although the “logic” of their argument is pure deception, it has been surprisingly effective in convincing the unsuspecting yokels that their “heaven” and “hell” are for real, or how else can you explain the presence of this universe, which undoubtedly is real. Their argument goes something like this : “There must be a God. How do you explain the presence of this world? If God didn’t make it, who did?” As simple as that. They leave the average yokel nonplussed and confused. He, too, hasn’t the foggiest idea as to “how it all started”. Since he doesn’t have an answer, unwittingly and by default, our nonplussed yokel yields to the (supposedly) superior logic of the (even more) confused Christian.

In this dissertation we want to examine this fallacious argument, take it apart, expose it, and blow it to smithereens. Why? Because it is phony, childish and without the faintest tinge of merit. It is based on no logic, nor does it have the slightest shred of evidence to back it up. It is another case of non-sequitur. It has no more logic to it than saying since you don’t live in Timbuktu, therefore you must live in London. Let us start by looking at our vast universe, about which we know a great deal, but for better or for worse, a great many mysteries still remain, and always will remain, unsolved. In fact, the number of mysteries of this vast and unfathomable universe will always outnumber those solved by our limited human mind in a ratio of a thousand to one, a million to one, or a billion to one. Who knows?

Now, the fact that the vast majority of the mysteries of this fascinating universe will forever remain unsolved does not particularly dismay me. We Creators are not even slightly concerned about it. Why should we be? We don’t need to solve all the “mysteries of the universe” in order to function properly, lead happy and productive lives and carry on the noble role that Nature has destined for us, so why worry about the vast unknown? Looking at this vast and fascinating universe, science has discovered (and increasingly so in re ...
