About This Quote
The idea of God is seriously flawed. If there were a God who was all powerful and was responsible for everything that happens in the world, why would he allow such things as cancer, starvation and war? There’s no reason to believe that God would make it into that kind of world. Instead, when we look through the lens of science that tells us that each person is an inseparable part of the universe, it’s easy to see how the life we live has no meaning when it is separated from everything else in the universe. The universe has no beginning or end. It simply exists, and if we are part of this universe, then our lives can’t be meaningless.
