And yet, Bruce, if I said to you "there is a God who exists as revealed by Jesus of
Nazareth", what would be your first response? Maybe you'd say, "that's nice for
you, now run along and play" (oops, that's what *Lar* would say). But what if I
pressed and said,"No really, it's true!" Your next thought would be that you would
want *proof*. Is that inconsistent to expect? Or maybe you'd want evidence. What
amount of evidence would convince you? Hypothetically speaking, what *would* it
take to convince you as a skeptic?
