“Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud.”

C.S. Lewis quoted by Russ Kosits in Convivium Vol. 2 #11 (December 2013 - January 2014) - Kosits calls it “the ‘argument from desire’ made famous by C.S. Lewis”

In my latest Loonie Politics column I mock the “experts say” meme reporters use to make liberal opinions sound like scientific fact.

“The question of the existence of God is the single most important question we face about the nature of reality…. Neither question [does the concept of a personal God make sense and should we believe in one] is easy to answer. God is a different kind of being from any other that we might speak about.”

In my latest Mercatornet column I say the mania for booster shots for vaccines that don’t work very well to stop a variant they may not work against at all is not science.

In my latest Epoch Times column I say if there’s really a burgeoning mental health crisis over hair loss we’ve lost more from our heads than just the stuff above our scalps.

“Our concern is with the search for truth. A religious belief can do all sorts of things for us – it can sustain us in life and in the approach of death; it can provide a thread of meaning in what would otherwise be a labyrinth of inanity – but it cannot do these things with integrity unless it is founded on the truth. I have great sympathy with David Pailin when he says that ‘Attempts to defend theism by ignoring the question of truth… are fundamentally atheistic. They worship human wishes rather than ultimate reality.’... The religious believer wishes to be found in the company of honest inquirers and not of polemicists for a cause.”

“The fundamental question to be asked about any theological statement is, ‘What is the evidence that makes you think this might be true?’”
