ARGUMENTS F O R G OD'S E X I S T E N C E 109
There is a much more powerful argument, which does not
depend upon subjective judgement, and it is the argument from
improbability. It really does transport us dramatically away from
50 per cent agnosticism, far towards the extreme of theism in the
view of many theists, far towards the extreme of atheism in my
view. I have alluded to it several times already. The whole argument
turns on the familiar question 'Who made God?', which most
thinking people discover for themselves. A designer God cannot be
used to explain organized complexity because any God capable of
designing anything would have to be complex enough to demand
the same kind of explanation in his own right. God presents an
infinite regress from which he cannot help us to escape. This argument,
as I shall show in the next chapter, demonstrates that God,
though not technically disprovable, is very very improbable indeed.
