My “Superstition”
Are you superstitious? The strongest argument I know for the existence of God or gods is The Watchmaker. If you are walking on the beach and see a watch you know it is designed because you have the sand with which to compare it. It speaks of a Great Principle of Intelligence that designs, creates,…
