Believing in God is Irrational

Believing in God is irrational. In the past, God's existence has been used to explain unexplainable phenomena. Today, however, we are living in an age of technology, discovery and logic. Thus, we can use science and logic to explain our surrounding events. Believing in God is irrational and irrelevant, and anyone who holds this belief is also irrational. This belief is held by many, especially in academic settings. Most have come not to believe in existence of God and religion is looked down upon as something that is irrational and too traditional to deal with in our "modern" world. However, with further examinations this view is not logical. A scientist, who had recently converted to Islam explained existence of God with a mousetrap analogy.

Let us examine a mousetrap. What are the chances that the copper could have been mined in the form of a wire? cut in that exact size? and what are the chances that the wire would come together in a way to catch a mouse? to have exact timing to catch the mouse? What are the chances that the mousetrap came to existence on by itself? We would almost immediately claim that it put together by man. A mousetrap is one of the least complex objects we have seen, yet we can still not see it coming together on its own. Then, how is it logical to say that the human body, with all its complexities, was put together by itself? For example, the human eye alone is a lens with complex chemicals, with many complex parts, how could it have come up together on its own? The answer is that it couldn't have and that it was created by a Creator. This is why it is irrational to say that God doesn't exist.
