Creation

   Divine-Watchmaker sorts of arguments, in any guise, for God's existence leave me cold. What seems far more persuasive to me is the feeling that comes from the sense that comes to everyone at some point in their lives that the beauty we see, the intimacy we enjoy, the sudden overwhelming senes of what an astonishing thing it is simply To Be, makes us experience the world & creation as a gift, that a Giver specifically has handed it to us, and that this outweighs all other doubts & experiences & arguments. Just as Christ comes in a backwater stable & goes around with a dozen ill-equipped men teaching among a people under a foreign power, our clues to God come humbly, mounted on a donkey.
