Quotes
“In fact, the theist would say that God is a very elegant, economical and fruitful explanation for the existence of the universe. It's economical because it attributes the existence and nature of absolutely everything in the universe to a single being, an ultimate cause that assigns a reason to the existence of everything, including itself. It's elegant, because from one key idea - the idea of the most perfect being possible - the whole nature of God and the existence of the universe can be intelligibly explained.”
Keith Ward, God, Chance and Necessity, Oneworld Publications, 1996.
