¶ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the aprint of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 ¶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and athrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Nice parallel Jim. We are actually going through the same line but at different directions. Your a priori belief in a personal God illuminates and even defines how you interpret your existence. In my case, I am drawn to to make sense of existence through interpreting any clue we can find to discover him or it or whatever the nature of ultimate reality is. Yours is obviously a more convenient one and is very tempting to me.

It is faith, because we believe. It may be hard for science, but consider it similar to believing in origin science. The evidence may not be whole yet, and we conclude as we go along. Same with a relationship with God… the evidence may not be revealed to us whole, but step by step, we are surely guided, if we believe.
I believe, and the more I go along, the more I believe because the more God starts to reveal Himself in my life. Maybe you should start to believe as well.
