Edward Tingley taunts the new atheists with some logic from Pascal in this month's issue of Touchstone. You can find the article Here.

Personally, I'm not sure what to make of it. On one hand, I see Tingley's point about the logic of scientific enquiry, but then I wonder about the positive value of going to look for God somewhere else---particularly in some place as nebulous as Pascal's "reasons of the heart."

I think I'd much rather stop short of Pascal; using only his refutation of the atheist's conclusive certainty and leaving the rest up to God. I'm just not convinced that we have a way to God. I'm much more convinced that God has a way to us.
