“Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no
creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of
thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical
or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as
a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own
thinking to be true? It's like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it
splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can't trust my own
thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and
therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe
in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve
in God.” – C. S. Lewis
