"By One Thousandth Chance" is an excerpt from "Mere Christianity". The materialist view suggests that matter and space have always existed without purpose, resulting in life by chance. The religious view posits that a conscious, purposeful mind created the universe to produce beings with minds. Science, which relies on observation and experimentation, cannot answer why the universe exists or if there is something beyond observable facts. Humans uniquely perceive a moral law, suggesting an underlying influence. This perception implies a directing force in the universe, which may not be a traditional deity but hints at a conscious, purpose-driven power. Lewis also critiques the Life-Force philosophy, which blends evolution with purpose without the moral implications of a deity, offering comfort without accountability.
