It's a tough call

Evidence FOR the existence of God:

creation
puppies
dolphins
frogs
children
laughter
flowers
pie
water
sex
love
friendship


Evidence AGAINST the existence of God:

childhood leukemia
1 billion extinct species
violence
genocide
rape
war
religion
loneliness
Nazis
disease
death
dinosaurs
meat
the end of creation
The Boston Celtics

I don't know, it's a tough call.

They asked the Buddha, what is the meaning of all this, and he holds up a lotus flower and people are all like, yep, that's it!

Then you ask Richard Dawkins, what is the meaning of all of this, and he can point to the second list and say, 'really, your all loving all powerful god is into all of this?' And that's pretty convincing too.

And they're both right and yet it doesn't necessarily tell us anything about what's behind the curtain or whether there is anything behind the curtain at all.
