Davies thinks it’s “anti-rational” and makes “a mockery of science” to say that this ordered and rational universe exists as a brute fact “reasonlessly.” He wrote, “Can the mighty edifice of physical order we perceive in the world about us ultimately be rooted in reasonless absurdity? If so, then nature is a fiendishly clever bit of trickery: meaninglessness and absurdity somehow masquerading as ingenious order and rationality.” Exactly. How is it that a highly ordered and rational universe came from complete disorder and irrationality? Both atheists and theists have to answer that question.
