Good response. There are some things we are not meant to know. That is why it is called a mystery. May not be based on science, but does anyone remember in gym class, when you did sit-ups, the "correct" was to do with your legs straight. Then it was found out, that way actually screwed up your back and the best way was to bend your knees and do crunches. Then there are eggs - good for years, bad for years, now back to being good for you.

I believe in God. My evidence? My wife was dianosed with a lump in breast. In one weeks time, she was to have a biopsy. I prayed like I never prayed before, and she was on the prayer list of many people at the church. The day she went in for her biopsy, no lump. That was back in 98. I believed in God before that and really believe in Him after that.

Excellent evidence from a very personal point of view.

Though I've frankly been tempted fairly often to become an atheist, t's actually things not dissimilar to this that cause me to continue to believe in God as well.

Then of course there's the difficulty of the cases where people pray and believe with all their guts, and the person simply dies.

A guy in my church died of cancer about a week ago.

I have another friend from the same church (and this is a church where people do pray for such things) who's been deemed terminal with cancer by the doctors. Not much older than me. Wife and two kids. How many months left? Don't know.

My wife also lost an aunt to cancer this year. About a month after diagnosis, and she was gone. The family prayed and prayed and believed she would be healed.

And yet it does seem to me that there is more going on in the universe than meets the eye.
