The John Templeton Foundation published a great little pamphlet posing this question with essays from a handful of scientists, a mathematician,  a philosopher and an archbishop. There are arguments going both ways, and it all makes for some pretty good reading. You can either request a physical copy of the pamphlet or you can not be a baby and just read them online. My personal favorites are probably Steven Pinker’s, Michael Shermer’s and Victor Stenger’s, but it’s all worth looking over.

You can read the essays here if you’d like.
