I know that God is very real. It is not an intellectual or scientific thing, although for some he is proven through those channels. God is reached through faith trust and a personal relationship. For many the struggles of life bring you closer to your creator. i can speak from personal experience of knowing there is a God out there that is alive and real. He has brought me through many a storm and for that i am grateful. Thanks for your intriguing post. Blessings.
