Why is necessary to have evidence for the existence of God? I have started to suspect that knowledge of God comes largely from perception and personal experience. It's like watching a movie with a friend. You might take it as a just a fun popcorn film. Your friend might find significance in certain elements of the film. From there you could have a debate about whether the director intended a deeper reading of the film or whether they were accidental plot features. If the director doesn't return phone calls, such a debate can never be fully resolved.
I see a world richly endowed with meaning and essential truths. Others see an absurd one with only proximate meaning. This in part explains my inclination toward Swedenborg. His writings pro-port to be revelations of the inner symbolic meanings found in Scripture. Most consider it hokum, as did I many years ago, but after a second look I found them very compelling. YMMV
