It's called God and the New Atheism by

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

John Haut, h a u g h t.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

Makes a good point. He said, atheists believe

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

everything can be explained

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

with one answer. He calls it explanatory

00:00:12 --> 00:00:12

monism.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

Right? All you need is the intellect. The

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

intellect can answer everything.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

Just use your intellect, you can figure everything

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

out. Very simplistic way. This is their method.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

Says, look, what if your mother is, boiling

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

water one day and you walk into the

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

kitchen. Say, what are you doing? She says,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

I'm boiling water.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

Say, that's great.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

But what are you doing? I'm,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

separating molecules.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:36

Beautiful.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

But what are you doing? I'm making tea.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:40

Why?

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

For you. Why? Because I love you.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

Right? This is what you can't get from

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

science. This is what you can't get from

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

atheism.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

Why? Why the universe?
