(June 19, 2013 at 3:01 pm)Maelstrom Wrote: Considering that people are perfectly capable of living happy, moral lives without a belief in a higher power, I would like to hear logical answers from theists as to precisely why belief in a higher power is required in this world. It is a question I have never seen adequately answered.

Hawkins has also said a god is not required. But some quack scientists have postulated "all this" being a giant simulation which would still have the problem of infinite regress.
