It isn't easy to be certain about anything. Science has discovered many wonderful facts, but they are always subject to change as new information is found. And there are many things that science doesn't tell us much about - important things like love and beauty, history and ethics and the meaning of life.
And so often we struggle to decide what is true. Lovers want to know if they can trust each other. Courts want to know if the accused is guilty or innocent. Voters want to know if the candidates will keep their promises. And if you're reading this, maybe you are asking questions about God.
Is it possible to know the truth about life and God, or is that a vain hope? Is belief in God irrational, and faith the opposite of evidence and reason? These questions don't have simple answers, for most of us make assumptions about truth and evidence that lead us to conclusions that may be stronger than the evidence alone would allow. So even the most logical person can have beliefs that cannot be justified.
So what would constitute good evidence for God, and how can we stay open to whatever the truth may be?
