Go look into your mirror and you'll find the answer to that question. When I look into the multitude of mirrors around myself and everyone else in humanity and the human experience. the human testimony, creation, history, etc., I see the blatant and inevitable reality of God.

Of course, you are going to respond to that by insisting that I am only seeing that I choose to see. And I will respond to that by quoting Abraham Lincoln, "The substance and character of a person is like a tree under the sun. The shadow (evidence) is what we choose to make of it. The tree is the real thing." I can describe and regard the shadow of the tree as anything I want or, as you said, choose to believe it to be. But I cannot make the tree go away by choosing not believe it is there.

All you've accomplished is simply IGNORING God. Keep in mind that every time you draw a breath or each time your heart beats, it happens by His permission.

Well, okay. I just "chose to believe" that you don't exist. But does that make you go away. Does that mean that you don't?
