SummarySummary

There are a number of positive facts that are supposed to attest to the existence, presence and even intervention of God.

These include:

  • mystical experiences (where certain human beings perceive the divine presence);
  • miracles (where the course of "natural laws" is suspended by God);
  • certain natural phenomena that resist scientific explanation, such as the appearance of life and consciousness
  • the "anthropic principle" and the adjustment of the fundamental constants of the universe.
All these different facts point to the existence of "something" unexplained, which intervenes in life and even in the universe.
