In his book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis speaks about a fish being a water creature, and that if a human were to fall into the water we would know we were wet, because we are not a water creatures.  But a fish doesn't even know it is wet.  How would a fish find out it was wet? If we see a crooked line, how do we know it is crooked, unless we have some idea of what a straight line is.  So, his point is that "atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning."

Similarly, one can ask about the conscience.  What is the purpose is our conscience?  Is it just our own higher thinking, and what purpose does it acutually serve. And more importantly why do we try and reason things away, and to quiet our conscience?
