Hi, I'm the Godhead

[chasm]

Evidence? I certainly have a conviction, and the word "evidence" comes from "conviction", after all, one man's evidence is another man's nonsense, depending on their initial belief system and their premises about life. I'm convinced. But evidence in the sense that you mean, ie something that you can get your teeth into, no none. I believe in intelligent design although I'm not really that familiar with the "official" explanation, but I do believe that the universe is a creation, or more accurately, a manifestation of god. And yes that is based on feeling, that's what has led me to my way of thinking, but that feeling has never been shown to be incorrect, so I continue with it. I wouldn't convince you. I wouldn't really give it any serious attempt. In my view it doesn't even matter what one believes. No hell, no punishment, none of that. So I don't feel the need to convince although I do like talking about my views. And I don't think you would make any serious attempt at convincing me that your view is correct. Or would you?

The word evidence does not come from conviction. The word evidence comes from the Latin word ēvidentia, which means "proof".

Conviction comes from convict, and we all know what convicts are. In all seriousness, the word conviction comes form the Latin word convictiō, meaning "proof of guilt".
