I was thinking this morning about Pascal's Wager. Sally and I happened to watch this tonight, and it really supports what Pascal said.
I have spent a fair amount of time in the Namib Desert. I picked up an interesting thing in the middle of the desert, and it really looked amazingly like a Kodak Instamatic camera, complete with what looked just like the letters KODAK. It is amazing how it even had what looked just like a film behind what looked just like a door at the back. All just by pure chance.
Would you believe that it was just pure chance? I certainly did not. I loved how much light I could see in the sky above the desert. I loved how much life I saw in the desert, even when it just looked like grains of sand, but after the rain on one occasion some of those 'grains of sand' proved to be seeds of grass, and the desert looked like a wonderfully green meadow.
Science reassured me that if I research with the theory that He is there, I will find evidence. If I followed the examples of some of my colleagues and teachers and looked for reasons to doubt, I would find reasons to doubt.
I challenge everyone who reads this to watch this movie. I challenge them to ask sincerely if God does not exist, and examine how you feel. Then, be open and ask sincerely if God does exist, and examine how you feel. Do your parents and family love you? How can you measure it and study it under a microscope? You just know. You can 'just know' that God exists by the love and peace that you feel, just like I did as a little child reflecting on how the peace and comfort that I was feeling right then, as I felt the Spirit of God, was like the peace and comfort that I felt in the loving environment in my family. You can know just as I know, and as millions know, if you follow the same recipe that I, and they, followed.
