God.

                              The closer we get to God the more awesome
               this ever present Being becomes. To venture this close, to the

               point  of  questioning  the  existence  of  God,  is  still  so  far
               removed  from  God  that  any  progress  we  might  make  in
               discovering  the  knowledge  that  might  convince  us  of  a

               presence of such a Divine being is a mammoth step in the right
               direction.

                              We cannot prove that God exists. We cannot
               prove that God does not exist. We can only believe that God
               does or does not exist. One belief is as valid as the other. Or is

               it? To not believe would render us void of the possibility of
               positive proof one way or the other. Remember belief is not

               truth. It would be folly to linger on the road of belief and thus
               never encounter the truth. To accept the belief as the goal in our
               search for meaning is but a step and to progress to the truth we

               must  take  another  step  albeit  that  we  still  retain  belief  until
               starts to unfold.
                              It  is  easier  to  meet  with  the  truth  when  one

               occupies the openness of positive belief. In this case, as there is
               no valid reason why a belief in the existence of God is no more
               compromising than a belief in the non-existence, let us accept

               the hypothesis that God does exist. With this hypothesis we can
