                    Philippians 4:8<\/strong>
                    \n\u201cFinally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.\u201d<\/p>\n

                    \u201cSuppose there were no intelligence behind the universe. \u00a0In that case nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. \u00a0Thought is merely the byproduct of some atoms within my skull. But if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? \u00a0But if I can\u2019t trust my own thinking, of course, I can\u2019t trust the arguments leading to atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an atheist, or anything else. \u00a0Unless I believe in God, I can\u2019t believe in thought; so, I can never use thought to disbelieve in God.\u201d – C.S. Lewis, Broadcast Talks<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
