Dialogue With an Atheist Pt 4

The answer to prayer that I shared with my unbelieving friend was not really the issue. It was an incident in my life that I shared with him. He spurned it, as if I offered that story as slam dunk evidence for God’s existence. There is a difference between scientific certainty (the kind that enables me to safely assume that 2+2=4) and the things I believe. The word, ‘believe’ in itself, denies that kind of certainty. We don’t say “I believe 1 and 1 equals 2.”

I believe that was an answer to prayer. I do not hold it up as slam-dunk proof.
