Thank you so very much for your splendid post, dearest sister in Christ!

The scientist's faith is that the world is intelligible. If the scientist did not believe that, then all his science would be in vain; indeed, there could be no science at all. And the engineer faithfully believes in the complete adequacy of the mechanistic principles of his calling. If he doubted them, he would not be an engineer at all.

Well and truly said.

God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. I've known Him for a half century and counting.

The atheist claim is therefore as absurd to me as someone saying that my brother does not exist simply because he does not know him.

Jeepers, dearest sister in Christ, it certainly seems that way at times! Talk about "flatlanders!"

Thank you so very much for your kind words!

"The atheist claim is therefore as absurd to me as someone saying that my brother does not exist simply because he does not know him." Oh, it's worse than that. The atheist's claim is like you telling the atheist your brother and his family live next door to the atheist, and the atheist seeing your brother's house, wife, and children every day on the atheist's way to work, hearing him call for the kids to come inside to dinner, yet claiming your brother does not exist because they have yet to see him, will not step tot he window to see him when he calls his children, and denying just all the things he is associated to in order to justify not stepping to the window for confirmation of his existence next door.

There is an arrogance inherent in atheism which seems rather irrational to me ... how can an atheist assertion certainty that a Creator does not exist when the atheist literally has so much evidence to the contrary? The irrationalness of a Christopher Hitchens or of a Dawkins nags at one the more they open their bitter mouths. Reminds me of a toddler who throws theirself to the floor in a fit for a specific toy, hoping the parent will give them attention and provide what the toddler demands while writhing around screaming in a pile of toys.
