Subject: RE: BS: One compelling reason for a god?
I think what you might be missing Bill, is all the circumstantial evidence which, over time may be persuasive, as long as it is not blown off as coincidence and ignored. Although I am not able to itemise each example, (and it would look extremely foolish if I did), I can assure you that my life has been so full of them that if they have all been coincidence, then the word needs to be redefined.

I have previously given the example of my daughter, who was familiar and comfortable in a very particular situation she had no way of ever having experienced before or known about. Alone this example means very little, but multiply it by a thousand or so and you may begin to see a trend.

NB: I do not present this as evidence of the existence of God, merely to show why I believe there is more out there than you can take apart and reassemble with some 8-guage fencing wire and a claw hammer.
