Quote by C.S. Lewis
“En el acto mismo de intentar demostrar que Dios no existía —en otras palabras, que toda la realidad carecía de sentido— descubrí que me veía forzado a asumir que una parte de la realidad — específicamente mi idea de la justicia— estaba llena de sentido. En consecuencia, el ateísmo resulta ser demasiado simple. Si todo el universo carece de significado, jamás nos habríamos dado cuenta de que carece de significado, del mismo modo que, si no hubiera luz en el universo, y por lo tanto ninguna criatura tuviese ojos, jamás habríamos sabido que el universo estaba a oscuras. La palabra oscuridad no tendría significado.”

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
