TheKak: Arrogance is implicit. If I am going to dismiss something as being absurd, I must have absolute confidence in my own knowledge.
After all, to dismiss the concept of God as absurd, we must be absolutely sure that he does not exist. In other words, we must believe that our knowledge is so complete and absolute that we are qualified to dismiss the existence of things that, for all intents and purposes, are beyond our ability to perceive or even comprehend. This is innate human arrogance.
