Logical Arguments for the Existence of God 69 undeniable reality that no scientist can deny. Confirmation requires not only academic certainty but also its practical demon- stration by repeated tests under different circumstances in a way that leaves no doubt whatsoever. Obviously, by this stage, no sci- entist or anyone with a bit of sense can deny it. We observe that, in practice, every established scientific fact is accepted by all sci- entists, without detraction. Disagreements arise concerning only those matters which have not yet been fully established, or con- cerning theories put forward by scientists based on their ideas and hypotheses which they have reasoned from established facts. In short, we observe no disagreement whatsoever regarding established scientific facts. However, with regard to belief in a Higher Being, we observe that many scientists believe in God; in fact, very few of them deny God, and the majority are not deniers. Thus, it is confirmed that there is no established scientific fact from which it can be reasoned with certainty that this universe is operating by itself without any Creator or Master; otherwise, this disagreement among scientists would not exist. If someone were to ask, what if in the future we have evidence proving that all that exists has come into being on its own and is operating by itself, then what would be the answer? First, such a hypothesis is absurd and childish. But if we must raise such questions, then our answer would be that we seek the truth and would not deny anything that is established as a fact.

But despite that, tell them: If a
