"PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD - EXPLORING AND UNDERSTANDING THE ATTRIBUTES OF A LOGICAL GOD In the very last pages of this book, you will find the testimonies of two very different people, The Doctor, Dr. Francis Collins, the head of the Human Genome Project and one of the most distinguished scientists of our time, and Ryan, The Desperado, a 'lifer' who spent 25 years in jail. Francis Collins shares, ""One afternoon, one of my patients, a wonderful elderly woman, much like a grandmother, had very bad heart disease. She had a particularly bad episode of chest pain while I was with her. She got through it and, at the end of that, explained to me how her faith was the thing that helped her in that situation. She realized it. The doctors around her weren't really giving her that much help, but her faith was. After she finished her own very personal description of that phase, she turned to me. I had been silent. She looked at me quizzically and said, ""What do you believe, Doctor?"" Ultimately, I had to admit to myself that her question had made me realize that I had arrived at an answer to the most important issue that we humans ever deal with; is there a God, and I had arrived there without ever really looking at the evidence? And I was supposed to be a scientist. If there's one thing scientists claim they do, it is to arrive at conclusions based on the evidence. [Concerning God] I hadn't taken the trouble to do that."" The most fundamental question of our time must be, ""Why do I believe what I believe?"" One must ask oneself, ""Is what I believe based on truth and logic, or is what I believe based on ignorance of facts, emotion and relativity?"" Why do you believe what you believe? In this book, David Harrison argues that a lack of knowledge of God is mostly based on wilful ignorance, a failure to thoroughly investigate the reality of God. Obviously, one cannot prove a negative, the argument that there is no God. Conversely, one can argue that God does exist and provide rational proof of His existence. In this book, David takes us on an investigative journey, explaining the principles of logic and why logical arguments are so important, how to identify logical fallacies, the distinctions between belief, faith certainty and knowledge, the concept of compossibility, and provides an understanding of good and evil and free will. He unpacks the attributes of God and why they matter. Perhaps the key to the investigation is The Court of Law where David explains the admissibility of evidence and invites you to be a member of the jury. Why do you believe what you believe?"
