Best response to “there is no God” I have ever heard was....
Are you absolutely certain?
Yes, I am certain that there is a God and a world of His that is less fake and fictitious than our own. Just as there is a science which can explain the nonsensical behaviors of women, there is a science that can explain our fictional world, imo. Science can be applied selectively, just as morality can be applied hypocritically, and science can explain this or that virtual world, but it cannot determines which is real vs which is fiction. A meta-science notwithstanding, once we are in a paradigm shift, we can only see within this paradigm and not remember or imagine the previous one. Salvation is the ability to somehow gain the sight via round about ways having to do with truth vs lies, history vs revisionism, Justice vs. injustice etc... a very intuitive process
