There has never been any decisive proof either way about God’s existence. Ours would be a decidedly queer world if the Creator of it were as visible as, say, a playwright at his opening night. Here is the universe, a dazzle of orderly wonders, which seems to imply a Maker. Here is human life, full of sadness and disaster and futility, ending always in black death; and it seems to many people to refute any notion that a God could exist. To assert anything about God — that he is there or that he is not, that we can know him or that we cannot — is to jump off into the dark, either way. | |
