About This Quote
The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe. The theist believes a 'who' created it. The idea of an impersonal, mindless force at work in the universe that neither hates nor loves is called God. The atheist says that there is no god, or that there is no evidence for one, and that there is only what's there--the laws of science, which are impersonal and meaningless in themselves. Theists say that god has an existence separate from his creation, so it's not just what exists but who exists.
