Showing Original Post only (View all)God Must Exist Because Nature Is So Gosh Darn Wonderful [View all]
I came across a blog post in which the writer gushes about the beauty of the world and its profound effect on her. She concludes that it must be hard work to be an atheist because atheists have to actively deny the god whose existence is revealed by all of this gosh-darned wonderfulness. This isnt a new argument. Psalm 19 says it this way: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. The blog post, however, tried to be very down to earth, focusing on insects and plants and the loveliness of the writers immediate surroundings. Above all, the piece lauded the writers emotional reaction to all of that as proof of Gods existence.

She should ask Stephen Fry about that. Watch as he completely destroys this 'argument':

It is. He totally nailed it. I loved the exasperated reaction from the interviewer.
