You live in a delusion, not a world that exists. And you will continue to do so life after life after life, ad infinitum, until you wake up. I should not have said God is a "fact" because you rely entirely on scientifically "proven" facts and knowing them is the right thing to do. I do that but I never rule out a "thing" just because it can't be replicated in the lab. I see the existence of God to be a "fact" that is yet to be put in a box It is that box. And everything else. I believe that God must exist, or the universe wouldn't.

And nothing in life is coincidence; we briefly crossed paths for a reason for each of us. That reason might not be seen but it is there. Just as I can't see gravity, I somehow stand on the ground. Boz, you say no God exists because you can find no empirical evidence. Only physical matter- and energy can be tested. But a being that can create universes must, by default, be beyond what can be measured by standard techniques from inside of the energy pocket that is the universe. I know it as "God"- a good, generic, catchall word. You will have your own choice of the word you prefer, in this life or the next or the next ten thousand and understand why I use the word "fact" when I refer to God. My "evidence" is not just "evidence", it's experience. There can be no stronger proof than personal, firsthand experience and you cannot rationally dispute that. I get the impression that you won't experience the goal in this life.

God exists.

Good luck on your journey, Boz.
