I’ve often wondered why so many intelligent people try so hard to convince themselves and others that the world as we know it was spontaneous with no intelligent design. That it just started up for no particular reason through some yet unknown, but explainable natural phenomenon. Then I realized that they do that so as to avoid having to submit to a higher authority. If they prove to their satisfaction and others that there is no God then they don’t have to justify their actions here on earth. They can do whatever they see fit in their own eyes without fear of judgment from God. They can be in control and humans so much want to be in control that they will deny the existence of God and go to great lengths to convince themselves that He does not exist. Humans are so smug that they don’t want to admit that there is something greater than they or that something exists that is beyond their understanding. They want to be their own god and they know they can’t do that so long as they have to acknowledge the existence of some higher intelligent authority…God.
