EPIPHANY Part II
by Shimi Cohen
There is so much philosophical evidence for the existence of God: cosmological evidence, vision from planning, ontological evidence, and more.
But perhaps the best evidence is the simplest: People believe in God, simply because they saw Him.
What do atheists say about it? They have a preconceived argument for all these cases, which were and will be: a hallucination! The same people, who attest to a meeting with God, are simply delusional. While they sincerely believe that they experienced the revelation of a supernatural being, in fact the entire event occurred in their minds only, like a tangible dream.
The human brain has a wonderful ability to create convincing fantasies, and that is what happened to all those people who supposedly met God.
In sum, the boundaries between objective and subjective, imaginary and realistic, are very vague.
It is very difficult to provide conventional definitions that will determine what really exists and what is only in the imagination. Until such agreed definitions are given, the practical conclusion is to trust people's testimonies-especially if they are, as stated, a multitude of different testimonies, from all times and places, some of which are very serious.
If people say that they have seen God, the simplest explanation is that they did.
This time I chose to compose as music for the text the wonderful DEPECHE MODE, in the song PERSONAL JESUS
The text is the same as last year but there are new photos from this year.
