Christopher's charts and graphs help us to understand how his mind works.

Christopher loves math because it is "logical".

Christopher does not believe in God because it isn't logical. To him, God is not provable, He is just another fairy tale or superstition.

People believe in God because the world is very complicated and they think it is very unlikely that anything as complicated as a flying squirrel or the human eye or a brain could happen by chance. But they should think logically and if they thought logically they would see that they can only ask this question because it has already happened and they exist.
