To Not Believe In God Is To

As Many Critics Of Religion Have Pointed Out, The Notion Of A Creator Poses An Immediate Problem Of An Infinite Regress. If God Created The Universe, What Created God? To Say That God, By Definition, Is Uncreated Simply Begs The Question. Any Being Capable Of Creating A Complex World Promises To Be Very Complex Himself. As The Biologist Richard Dawkins Has Observed Repeatedly, The Only Natural Process We Know Of That Could Produce A Being Capable Of Designing Things Is Evolution.

Any Conception Of Human Well-being You Could Plausibly Have, The Taliban Patently Fails To Maximize It.
