HOW CAN AN INTELLIGENT PERSON BELIEVE IN G-D?

Tuesday, 29 April, 2014 - 12:43 pm

This question recently appeared in my inbox:

Dear Rabbi, I'm not trying to be facetious, but I need to ask you an honest question: - Do you really believe that G-d created this world from nothing!!? It's just so fantastic that it's quite unbelievable.

I responded:

Ok. So you find G-d hard to believe in. 

Imagine if I told you that my iPad was what was left after a raging fire burnt in my backyard for a couple days. The iPad, apps and all just emerged in perfect working condition!!

Of course, you'd think I'm nuts!

Now what is more sophisticated: your Ipad or the human eye?

If you find it so laughable that the iPad was created randomly by fire, then how on earth do you find it possible to believe that the human eye was created by a big explosion a gazillion years ago?!

This is why I actually have a lot or respect for atheists. I admire their faith!Clearly it takes much more faith to believe in the big bang than it does to believe in G-d's Creation!
