"To be an atheist, you have to believe that it is possible, which I think is a far greater leap of faith , that something can be created out of nothing. When you look at the majesty and sophistication, and the intricacy of the universe that we do know and comprehend. You have to believe that somehow this energy could have existed on its own, and i do not believe that, that to me is a leap of faith "Hitchens-"You give me the awful impression, i hate to have to say it, of someone who hasn't read any of the arguments against your position ever. You want your god to take personal responsibility for the huge number of collapsing stars and imploding galaxies and destroyed universes and failed solar systems that have left us in this tiny corner, on the one planet on this petty solar system that can support life on some of its surface for some of the time. You want a creator who filled this earth with species, 99% of which are now extinct already"Everyone else -"oh my god what a fucking Hitchslap!"
