The article makes some excellent points.
Such as, getting God out of the equation actually opens the door to tyranny rather than gets rid of it.
However if I wish to find a logical basis for the reason I find the concept of God reasonable, I only have to pursue the avenues open to science at the moment. The current interest in what came before the Big Bang. If one just explores that concept, and implications arising from it then our current scientific certainties (beliefs) including all that we accept as normal, true and reasonable, become just as logically “adventurous” as belief in God.
For me the simplest logical question is: Can order occur spontaneously in randomness?
Because anything at all, any thought, any structure, any event, no matter how apparently random, is a manifestation difference, of potential, of order.
