"Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no
creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the
purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my
skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange
themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the
sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own
thinking to be true? It's like upsetting a milk jug and hoping
that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But
if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the
arguments leading to atheism, and therefore have no reason to be
an atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot
believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in
God." - C.S. Lewis
