[Avodah] proofs of G-d

[Eli Turkel]

Toby writes

<<I have given this a lot of thought over the years -- as I'm sure we all  have
-- and what I have concluded is that, even though we really don't have the
absolute proof that would eliminate doubt once and for all, we do have
extremely  strong evidence for the following propositions:

1.  Belief in atheism is based on even weaker and more tenuous  evidence than
is belief in G-d.  Atheism is every bit as much a religion  (i.e., a system
of faith without proof) as is any G-d-based religion.>>

While I may personally agree with you just look at the recent spate of
books denying G-d.

These people are wrong but not stupid

I doubt if many people have become baale teshuva (oe geirim) based on
an intellectual
"proof" of any kind about G-d or judaism. My personal observations are
that many factor
are more important than a preponderance of evidence.
