Put simply, scientists will tell you that ?science works.? If science works, then the universe works. If the universe works then it means that it was made; because what is not made cannot possibly ?work.? - Illogical Atheism by Bo Jinn, Kindle, Section 1276
?Men became scientific because they expected law in nature, and they expected law in nature because they believed in a law giver.? ? C.S. Lewis ? Section 1267
?Over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: Ye must have faith. It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with.? ? Max Planck ? Section 418
The past has demonstrated quite clearly that science creates many more mysteries than it explains. ? 1370
Professor Andrew Simms, former President of the Royal Institute of Psychiatry in Britain? concludes that religious faith is one of medicine?s best kept secrets. Particularly among Christian adherents in western society, religious practice seems to result in lower levels of stress and depression, better physical health, better interpersonal relationship and family life and a much lower inclination to substance addiction, among other behavioral and mental disorders. The psychiatric data for atheism and agnosticism, on the other hand, appears to run quite in the opposite direction. A number of studies performed by members of the American psychiatric association determine a strong correlation between a ?lack of faith? (i.e. atheism) and depression and suicide. ? 1614
? those nations with the highest levels of depression and suicide over the last 50 years also happen to have been the most irreligious. (Soviet bloc, China, Japan, Scandinavia, UK, France, among others) Abortion rates, separation and family discord are all far more prominent in the irreligious west than anywhere else in the world.- 1627
A belief held for psychological reasons leading to an increased probability of psychosis, abusive behavior, depression and suicidal inclination.
If those are not the hallmarks of a delusion, I don?t know what is. ? 1641
Contemporary atheism does no resolve in the conclusion that God does not exist as much as it begins with it. ? 2270
If the evidence from sociology is not powerful enough, we now have recent studies from the field of psychology which validate the ridiculousness of this fictional psychological pre-disposition to atheism. ? 2385
The overwhelming psychological and sociological data does indicate that belief in God is something that emerges from the inside out, not something which is imposed from the outside in. ? 2407
