Sir – Just as there isn’t any scientific evidence for the existence of God, there also isn’t any such evidence for the non-existence of God.

Atheism, then, would appear to be a type of faith. Fortunately though, it doesn’t end there.

Just as a mother’s love for her newborn baby cannot be described using differential calculus, human life and experience are so much more than scientific evidence . . .
