Liszinski’s plea was that not only do you deprive God of dignity by insisting He be something He can’t—self-creating—but you also strip society of the benefits of reason. There is a point at which reason fails, however. The entire universe can be understood mathematically to the subatomic level, but only religion claims to know how it came to exist in the first place. Math and reason fail utterly in this regard. Without God, either existence is inevitable—a state for which there are no mathematics—or it is almost infinitely unlikely but came into existence during an infinity of time.
