Grounds of Religious Faith and The Existence of God
             If asked the question, What are the grounds for religious faith? One would probably sit
             and ponder on an answer for quite some time. However, you have to go right to the main

             Though there are so many uncertainties as we have just mentioned, the existence of all
             other uncertainties in our world may explain why the existence of God is so real to many people.
             For the believers, God provides a convenient answer to all these questions except for the...
