Karl Ove Knausgård sitat

I am continually astonished by those theists who, far from having their consciousness raised in the way that I propose, seem to rejoice in natural selection as Gods way of achieving his creation. They note that evolution by natural selection would be a very easy and neat way to achieve a world full of life. God wouldnt need to do anything at all! Peter Atkins, in the book just mentioned, takes this line of thought to a sensibly godless conclusion when he postulates a hypothetically lazy God who tries to get away with as little as possible in order to make a universe containing life. Atkinss lazy God is even lazier than the deist God of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment: deus otiosus – literally God at leisure, unoccupied, unemployed, superfluous, useless. Step by step, Atkins succeeds in reducing the amount of work the lazy God has to do until he finally ends up doing nothing at all: he might as well not bother to exist. My memory vividly hears Woody Allens perceptive whine: If it turns out that there is no God, I dont think that hes evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically hes an underachiever.
