What was said

"If the computer that you use every day, if you knew it was the end product of a random process, would you trust it? Every single scientist that I've asked that question to have said, no, I would not. So I say, you've got a problem, haven't you? Your atheism goes too far. It undermines the very rationality we need to do science."

Lennox presented a philosophical argument against atheism, contending that if human brains are merely the product of mindless, unguided evolutionary processes, there is no logical reason to trust them for rational thought or scientific inquiry. He argued this internal contradiction fatally undermines atheism's claim to rationality, as scientists would never trust a computer known to be randomly generated.
