Thank you very much for the article. It has always helped me, when considering the question of God, to distinguish between the confirmation of God’s existence and the (never possible) comprehension of God. In my opinion, the classical proofs of God’s existence, when supplemented by modern scientific findings, make it clear that it is very, very reasonable to believe that God exists. God in the sense of a first, unconditioned cause that exerts a constant influence on creation.

In reply to Mark David Vinzens. My playing in symphony orchestras has always thrilled me, and even just attending a concert and listening to the diverse instruments create such beautiful music has always symbolized for me our coming together in unity, guided by one conductor: God.

I don’t think acknowledging the existence of God is at all unreasonable. After all, that God would be completely beyond are comprehension and categorically different from contingent existence in an utterly transcendent manner is, as I see it anyway, the most reasonable of conclusions.

There are however some incredible coincidences right here on the planet that I find hard to explain without a Creator. The similarity of every organic thing to human beings (In terms of DNA) is between 50% and 96%. And isn’t it handy that all of this food was already growing by the time we evolved. When you study the history of the Earth, you find that everything had to happen almost exactly the way it did for us to have evolved and survived. The more I study science, the more it convinces me of the existence of a Creator.

Nobody can prove the existence of God, that’s why it’s called Faith. You make the leap of accepting God and everything else falls into place, but you have to make that leap, no other way I’m afraid.

In my experience, atheists do not deny the existence of God. They deny the existence of God that has been communicated to them. This might be a god that has created hell and heaven and/or who is going to bring people out of their graves on the day of judgement. Athiests require evidence in order to accept something – as should we all. In many ways what I think Bahai’s believe – other ancient religions may consider us as ‘atheists’ as we don’t believe in what they did? I think – As Bahai’s we let our love for God unite us. As humans we should let our sense of reasoning unite us with whom we call Athiests… By the way – I really loved your poetry – and will try and remember parts of it :).

Hi Tom – have you shared the 555 arguments some where. Atheists serve us well!

To me, our brains uses language to communicate…But language is restricted to the information we gather from outside by 5 senses, which are at best perception and limited to what is time/space borders. However, using the 2nd principal of thermodynamics (Entropy) lead me to conclude there is higher existence than my limited time/space world. For me, the 2 defying facts of the 2nd principle of thermodynamics was deductive conclusion of a higher/spiritual (God) existence .
