It works in your mind, to your eye, to you.
It is indistinguishable from you convinced yourself that it works.
It is indistinguishable from being brainwashed.
It is indistinguishable from it's all in your head.
It is indistinguishable from someone made it up and you fell for it.
God took an illiterate, taught him how to read and comperhend the written word where 12 years of grammer school failed. From there He opened his mind and heart to precepts and understanding that span the bible and on into being able to answer all of his own question about God, life and our purpose here. That developed into help others with their own questions, which rolled into an on line ministry for 5 years of answering christian questions, and a year and 1/2 of defending the faith from all takers ranging from doctors and lawyers to an oxford professor, to doo-mases who just hate because God has not granted them their wishes. To having a paper researched for publication on an orgins account that encorprates genesis and evolution seemlessly.
Not to mention what He has done in my marriage life, and the sucess I have been given in my company. (which is poised to be bought out, and I am to take a job as an exectuive/engneer, shortly after the project i am currently working on goes to market later this year.)
I know there is a God. Not because of my sucesses, but because of how deep and complete my failures have been. I am constantly reminded of my short commings and how quickly everything I have can be lost. why? Because none of what I have is because I earned or deserved any of it. It was literally given to me, and I am just a steward of God's gifts nothing more. No God= No gifts. No gifts= Drich dead a long long time ago.

Based on what?
Based on the singular idea that your world view (there is no God) HAS to be correct?
What if your wrong? What if God will not give you anything because you are too proud to ask for it?
