I believe this was presented as a true story perhaps 15 years ago in
_His_ magazine, published at the time by Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship. If anyone has the exact wording or date, I would gladly
stand corrected.
"A young college student approached his professor after a science class
and offered a respectful challenge to an anti-creationist comment the
professor had made. Caught dead to rights, the professor attempted to
make light of the situation. 'Well, Son,' he smiled, 'if there were no
God I guess we'd have to invent one.'
"'No, Sir,' the student replied. 'If there were no God, we'd have to
invent _us_.'"
You are also welcome to use the following excerpts from my poem "Lord
Random" or my song "Thank God I'm An Atheist" if you like. No, you don't
have to sing the song. ;0)
LORD RANDOM
Oh where have you been, Lord Random, my son?
Where have you been, my handsome young man?
My dear Mother Nature, I’m poisoned and ill,
For humans have squandered their precious free will....
Oh where have you been, Lord Random, my son?
Where have you been, my lucky young man?
I’m at the casino; their chances are greater
Than of all this existing without a Creator....

THANK GOD I'M AN ATHEIST
Thank God I'm an atheist,
That I know that no one knows it all,
And I hope and pray that I stay this way.
I'm an atheist, thank God!
Now the Christians complain of what we teach in school.
They have no leg to stand on for their kickin'.
We all know that religion was invented my man,
And the egg was invented by the chicken....

Just one more--as I recall. After the Soviet cosmonaut reported that
there was no God because he had been to outer space and had not seen
him, Ruth Bell Graham reportedly commented, "All the man would have
needed to do to see God would have been to step outside."
Best wishes,
Dan
