But MOST PEOPLE with sufficient mental horsepower

CAN

FAIRMINDEDLY consider evidence.

Of course, having the ability and doing so are 2 different matters.

God has a big investment and priority in providing sufficient evidence without forcing belief.

Sight removes faith.

When you sit down and the chair holds you, you likely have no more use (for the time being) for faith that the chair will hold you up.

God requires faith as a major enduring component in our walk with Him. It seems to have something to do with trust, submission, abandonment to HIS LORDSHIP, SUPREMACY. Perhaps He wants to prevent another satanic rebellion in the uper eschelons. Whatever His reasons, it is His ball and His rules. And a chief rule is FAITH. So He persistently seems dedicated to providing SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR FAITH without so much that faith is no longer required.

HOWEVER, The Bible seems to indicate that in our end times era, He will be wholesale laying aside such a priority much of the time. His demonstrations of His power, Majesty, grandeur, authority will clearly be awesome beyond what we can presently imagine.

There are rumblings that He's getting very close to the beginning of that series of demonstrations. We shall see.
