I was reading my pre-release copy of The Australian Book of Atheism on a plane flight on Wednesday when I noticed that verily had the plane become quite dark: except for a single bright beam of light, shining down upon The Book in my hand!
I’m pretty sure I also heard a faint sound of angelic choirs in the background.
I take this as proof of Divine Approval of The Book, and therefore of atheism in general – a case I have argued before when discussing “Pascal’s Wager.”
At least that’s my interpretation. Skeptics might believe I merely had my reading light on and the pilot dimmed the lights for landing, but we all know what party-poopers that lot (skeptics, not pilots) are.
But however you look at, it’s still as good as the evidence for any other divine approval!
