Just as man can measure the effects of wind, air, and gravity, we can see evidence of God’s existence.

Your response is precisely why I stated:

“Whether or not a man chooses to believe...is another facet...”

Non-believers will choose to disbelieve regardless of the facts. In their finite minds, they will desire a “logical” explanation, but history and God’s Word (yes, the Bible) reveals that they are not truly interested in knowing Him.

In other words, orthodox scholars have presented evidence (especially in modern times by way of technology, etc.) substantiating the historicity of the Bible, and yet, man simply chooses to reject the Lord.

My hope is that our Creator will reveal Himself to you in a way that will bring about a personal relationship.

Best Wishes,
TJI

That's more than a little condescending, don't you think? All I care about (in this context) is facts. It's "believers" whose worldview is based on faith rather than facts...by definition.

In their finite minds, they will desire a “logical” explanation,

Why in the world would you put the word logical in quotes? For that matter, what's wrong with a logical explanation?

You can assert that, but there's a wealth of evidence showing that the mythological events in the Bible are just that.

My hope is that our Creator will reveal Himself to you in a way that will bring about a personal relationship.

If I'm wrong and you're right I hope the same thing...but I don't think that's likely.

Best Wishes, TJI

The same to you as well.
