Line 422: − * "Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the Earth at the right distance from the Sun to receive proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance." - Sir [[Isaac Newton]]<ref>http://www.heavenly-light.com/</ref>+ − * "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired.

Lewis]], On relinquishing atheism at age 31 in 1929<ref>http://www.bartleby.com/63/95/4195.html</ref> − * "A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." - Sir [[Francis Bacon]]<ref name="jjj">http://www.notable-quotes.com/a/atheism_quotes.html</ref> − * "In his book ''Modern Times'', the historian Paul Johnson referred to [[Adolph Hitler|Hitler]], [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]], and [[Benito Mussolini|Mussolini]] as the three devils of the twentieth century. Interestingly, [[Friedrich Nietzsche|Nietzshean]] dogma influenced each of them." - [[Ravi Zacharias]]<ref> [[Ravi Zacharias]], ''The Real Face of Atheism'', Baker Books, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 2004, page 25</ref> − * "The atheist risk everything for the present and the future, on the basis of a belief that we are uncaused by any intelligent being. We just happen to be here. That one is willing to live and die in that belief is a very high price to pay for conjecture." - [[Ravi Zacharias]]<ref> [[Ravi Zacharias]], ''The Real Face of Atheism'', Baker Books, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 2004, page 154</ref> − * In his essay rebutting a work of atheist [[Jeffery Jay Lowder]] [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] [[JP Holding]] wrote the following: "...I find that there is no such thing as "reasonable non belief." The litany of excuses, wild speculations, and other absurdities ground out by skeptics and critics doesn't deserve the adjective "reasonable"."<ref>http://www.tektonics.org/lp/lowdstrob.html</ref> − * "An atheist is a man who believes himself an accident." — [[Francis Thompson]]<ref>http://forthardknox.com/2007/06/02/the-10-best-quotes-to-counter-an-atheist/</ref> − [[Image:Joseph-addison-3-sized.jpg|right|thumbnail|175px|[[Joseph Addison]]]] − * "To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to receive all the great truths which atheism would deny." - [[Joseph Addison]], The Spectator, Mar. 8, 1711<ref name="jjj"/> − * "It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. Without the sustaining influence of faith in a divine power we could have little faith in ourselves. We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan." - [[Calvin Coolidge]], speech, Jul. 25, 1924<ref name="jjj"/> − * "Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic un-interestingness as an intellectual position.
