Prove God to me

Belief in God is not crazy. Saying that Jesus rose from the dead is just as certain as history, told by others, which in a court of law would be called hearsay. What we DO know is that Roman Centurions were under a certain death sentence if they failed at their task......... guarding the tomb.

Scientific knowledge we hang onto with both hands. They are certain, they must be certain. However, they don't say with certainty what nature will be like; they only describe what nature seems to be like. If there were no exceptions to the "laws of nature", there would be no scientific progress. And, of course, the unexplainable healings.......... well, they must be do to a wonderful doctor.

Probability vs Certainty (The Inductive Approach)
We never live our lives in certainty, we could get hit by a bus tomorrow. It's a rational probability that most of us will still be alive when the sun rises. Inductive reasoning argues from a specific to a general truth. In other words, inferring that God exists argues for God as the highest degree of probability based on the sum of observed facts, order and experience.
