DAVID: [i]I've come to believe in a universal intelligence because nothing else makes sense to me.[/i] > And so I'm really asking: how do people gain a genuine inner conviction (= belief, as opposed to a "maybe") that something is true, even when they know there are gaps in the pattern?--I follow Adler and his proof "beyond a resonable doubt" as in jury trials. God will always be concealed. Proof will never be absolute. I have learned a great deal more since I wrote my book. Much more information has developed in the past seven years and it all adds up to more 'proof' as it has followed my expectations of what I thought would be developed in the kind of new knowledge discovered.
