An atheist colleague of mine was deeply entrenched in evolution as the explanation of life. He used to argue that if God was there, he ought to show himself or communicate audibly. In the absence of such evidence he concluded God was simply a figment of the human imagination. Many humanists reason that unless God gives them a concrete sign they will not believe he exists.

Certainly there was a defining moment for me when I allowed God to come in and sort out the mess I had made of my life. Sometimes it’s as if God takes his hands off and leaves us to get into a pickle just to get our attention! ...
