G.K. Chesterton observed: "when men stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing—they believe in anything."
Curiously, wielding reason to logically disprove God’s existence elevates reason itself to supreme status. Yet the same tool that dismantles one paradigm can erect equally unmoored ones.
Without an ultimate anchor, rationalism becomes vulnerable to irrational leaps, enthroning fleeting ideologies or comforting fictions in God’s vacated place.
