Or maybe your “feeling” about the existence of God is more like:
- …your feeling that you’re standing on solid ground? The surface of the Earth is moving at over 1,037 MPH at the equator; about half that at the 45th parallel.
- …your feeling that the Sun moves across the sky? The Sun is the central point in our solar system, due to its much larger mass compared to the satellites and planets that orbit it.
- …your feeling of happiness and satisfaction upon eating a full meal? That single meal of a Big Mac, large fries, and large Coke contains 1420 calories – more than would be burned by over an hour of hard running for most people.
- …the feeling of beauty at the twinkling of the stars in the night sky? The light from distant suns is steady; the twinkling effect is caused by shifts in the upper atmosphere.
- …the feeling that the images on the movie screen are, well, moving? Projecting a series of still images faster than the eye/brain can process them results in the illusion of a moving image due to the effect known as persistence of vision.
Sorry, but neither your “gut” nor your “heart” have a very good predictive rate. You’ll get 10 out of 10 points for poetry, but minus 1,000,000 for accuracy.
