I read through this a couple of days ago, and declined to add my opinion (especially since its very hard to express my 'proof' of God's existence,) but the more I think about it -- what makes you think that God doesn't exist?

We live in an amazing place. Even disregarding the universe or even the planet and looking at the human body. We have come so far (from living in caves and throwing our feces at one another) to a structured and somewhat 'free' society. Also we have been given the gift of conceptual thought - we as a people have the ability to experience beauty, love, hate, envy, wonderment. Where do those things come from if not from your spirit? Don't you feel and underlying connection with every human being that you meet on the street, not to mention the special connections that we experience in family, friends and lovers?

I'm not saying that this constitutes irrefutable proof of the existence of God, but doesn't it beg the reasoning that something greater than ourselves exists somewhere, holding this rolling ball of rock together? I guess that I just refuse to accept that life was created by a great chain of wonderful coincidence.

just a thought. . .
