It seems to me absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent Theist and an evolutionist. ... I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.

By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none.

But to show you my heart fully, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear to be not a god! Therefore, there are no gods.

The impossibility of conceiving that this grand and wondrous universe, with our conscious selves, arose through chance, seems to me the chief argument for the existence of God.

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.

I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.
