ATHEISTS AND MAGICIANS

Atheism and stage magic have much in common.

Both attempt to trick the mind into believing that some amazing thing has occurred without any evident or reasonable explanation.

The audience for both these forms of prestidigitation willingly goes along with the trick.

But the crowd that exits the theatre emerges into a world of cause-and-effect and implicit consequences, and leaves behind any lasting belief in wizardry.

Atheists, on the other hand, remain shut up in their dark domain of the Hey-Presto, in which the origins of Life, Light, and complex Laws of Nature pop up without explanation, and they all clap and exclaim ‘Ah! How wonderful it all is’. – AP
