First of all, let me state clearly that—at least up until now—I am a theist. I am an Orthodox Coptic Christian. I believe in the existence of one God, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. But I am not just taking this for granted, for my mind aches to find a logical understanding to religion and a divine model that does not have contradictions. Therefore, I started reading with interest books that discuss theism versus atheism, hoping to find some answers to some time-old questions about the divine. I came to read professor Antony Flew's book "There is a God. How the world's most notorious atheist changed his mind" and, although he defends the theism I believe in, had an objection to one of his arguments quoted from Dr. Gerald Schroeder, a renowned Israeli scientist and a PhD holder in nuclear physics. I do not claim to be a professional and experienced philosopher like professor Flew or a nuclear physicist like Dr. Schroeder. However, I hold a Doctorate degree in anesthesiology; I have some interest in philosophy of religion, mathematics and physics; and I trust my mind with logical explanations as far as my mind can comprehend. So, I present herein the reasons I object to Dr. Schroeder's argument, quoted by professor Flew, against the "monkey theorem" in order to defend theism.
