CitaatIf everything must have a cause, then God must have a cause. If there can be anything without a cause, it may just as well be the world as God, so that there cannot be any validity in that argument. It is exactly of the same nature as the Indian's view, that the world rested upon an elephant and the elephant rested upon a tortoise; and when they said, 'How about the tortoise?' the Indian said, 'Suppose we change the subject.' The argument is really no better than that. ~ Bertrand Russell |

Hello, congratulations on your review of John Haught's God and New Atheism. I read the book myself, and share most of your criticisms. I am really bugged by the "you-have-not-read-theology" argument: you do not need to be an expert on every major astrological book in order to know that astrology is a farse.
