@RareDenver Here’s the problem I have with your idea that a piece of evidence would make it clear to us that there is a god.
I live in a world where I see many, many people who believe that they see god, that god speaks to them. Only I see them killing each other and starting wars, and forcing child brides to marry old men – all because they think god was speaking to them. Even people who are not so vociferous in their beliefs are frequently at cross purposes on behalf of “god”.
So I look at them and I say to myself, “People who believe god talks to them are deluded.” So now if I pick up some piece of evidence and I begin to believe that piece of evidence is proof that god is out there, then – if I am still thinking rationally – I will say to myself, “Although this seems to point to a conclusion, I know from prior experience that people who believe that god has been revealed to them are almost always delusional. Therefore EVEN IF THERE IS A GOD it is more likely that I am deluded than that he is communicating to me.”
So seeing evidence that there is a god would make me more likely to seek mental health help than go to church. All this requires is that you recognize that you are as susceptible to aberrant thinking as the next guy. To think otherwise, I feel, is narcissistic and naive.
Can you see my point?
