paul simon. hats off to you, god. n for our creation is not there was a creator but there's another explanation i think, i am no less grateful and i'm no less in awe of everything and it's not going to change my morality. i'm not going to think bad is good and good is bad because i feel when it's good and i feel when i do bad. so in the two choices between, is there a creator or is there another explanation, i like the creator story. that's where i'm at with that. you? >> stephen: what? >> paul: you? >> stephen: i was convicted of my atheism for many years and that i was overwhelmed by an enormous sense of gratitude for the world. it resonates for me because this enormous, heartbreaking gratitude even for heartbreaking things, not because the world is beautiful but the beauty isn't necessarily happy things. the joy is greater than happiness. happiness is not the ultimate úgoal. sublime is the goal. that feeling that even comes in grief, grief with you is an act of love so we can both be& sad and yet there is joy there
