There is No Such Thing as a Thankful Atheist
- By Andrew M. Greenwell
- Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Anyone who believes that he has gifted himself with his own being, that he is a self-caused being, that he is causa sui, is irrational. And if he really believes that and not just be contrarian or stubborn for the sake of it, he is certainly insane.
Until the scientist learns to give thanks, he will never get to the answer of contingent existence.
To confront the reality of our contingent existence means--if we are to use our highest form of thought--that we give thanks, that we be grateful. And this, ultimately, yields to faith, what G. K. Chesterton called "faith in receptiveness," a faith in receptiveness which gives rise to a receptiveness to faith.
When each of us confronts the raw fact "I exist," "I am," we also know that we need not have existed. We know, in fact, that there was a time that we did not exist, a time that we were not. And we can infer with absolute certainty from those who die about us and from our understanding of nature and time, that there will be a time where we will not exist, at least not in the way we do now.
