The feeling of hunger INDICATES the existance of such a thing as food...the hope for gratification. If there was no food, we would not be hungry as there would be no sense in feeling something that will never be satisfied and has no chance of being satisfied.

The feeling of sex drive INDICATES the existance of sexual gratification. Same argument...

The feeling of a need for God, a need to explain where we come from must indicate that there is an answer out there. Why do billions of people feel they need a God? Wouldn't it be much simpler to just say, the atoms created themselves then muslims wouldn't have to bother praying 5 times a day, Christiands wouldn't have to bother going to church or praying. But no, people have a need, an internal inexplicable want and need for there to be a God...why?
This is a very good argument and something I hadn't considered.

Thankyou Vaskez. Thankyou for posting this. [img]smile.gif[/img]
