C.S. Lewis on materialistic thoughts

Because one of the biggest and most dangerous lies that humanity confronts is the lie that we do not need God.With all due apologies to atheists, I think that the quirk in human thought that dares to suggest that you can explain creation without a creator is as insulting as going to an art museaum and attempting to explain a great painting with no mention or concern of the artist.This message has been edited by Phatboy, 04-01-2005 11:12 AM

Then how can people distinguish things such as flowers, animals, and galaxies produced through creative intent from random activity.Based on the logic of probability, a toddler could eventually splatter out a Mona Lisa given enough paint, time, and the impossible situation of remaining a patient toddler for umpteen billion years.Great spans of time produce random selection. Odd how we can critically speculate and muse about such subjects so purposefully and intelligently. Although it is windier than I would have liked, I must remind you that we are not concluding either side as correct are we? I could just as well say that one day, Richard Dawkins will bow to the one whom he mocked.
While I disagree with you often, I respect that you have intelligence. Can't C.S. Lewis be given some measure of respect as well?

C.S. Lewis was an intellectual before he became a Christian. The way that we a s believers distinguish is that we have met the Creator. That is why we consider Him. The natural man (without the Spirit)cannot even fathom God on a personal level.
