This letter appears in today's Leicester Mercury:
Proof of God is all around us
R. Dunkley writes of his surprise that letters express belief in God "despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary" (Mailbox, September 8).
I should like to turn his statement on its head and wonder why a very few (only) writers express disbelief in Him.
The existence of God is to be deduced from everything around us: the natural beauty of the world, but above all the gift of life.
These things cannot just arise with no origin or creator; neither do you need to be especially religious to be quite certain of God's existence.
There is, of course, the question about why dreadful things happen, which I tried to address in a recent letter to Mailbox.
It is a most legitimate and pertinent question, but in no way does it deny the existence of God. Two truths cannot contradict one another and can be reconciled.
Mark W. Jacques OP, Quorn
