Isaac Newton, had invited a scientist-friend of his, a man who professed atheism to dine with him.

Seeking to corner his friend with his own arguments, Newton placed a model of the solar system on his table and invited his friend to view it. Upon examining it, Newton�s friend exclaimed,

�what a marvellous craftsmanship!� Who fashioned this exquisite model?�

Newton replied casually, �This model has no maker, it materialized from nothing.� Disbelief written large on his face, the friend asked, �What do you mean?� To this, Newton smiled and replied, �How can you my friend, insist that this model has to have a maker, while vehemently denying the existence of a divine Creator?�
