It's the Holy Spirit within us. We cannot help it. By the way, I was married to an atheist that converted, yet "I" NEVER preached or said a word to him about God or religion. All will believe in THEIR right time. Whoa, gonna get alot of thumbs down for this one. But, true in MY case.

Ancient maps drawn around 2200 BC by the Phoenicians show that at that time the Polar Ice Caps were very small. After taking this into consideration and that at one time the ice packs reached as far south as the northern USA and that historians in various parts of the world, including Plato’ account of the submergence of Atlantis, all recorded that around 1500 BC the inhabitants of the coastal cities had to flee them because the oceans overtook them, tells us that the ice began to build up around 2350 BC and then began to melt around 1500 BC. The only catastrophic event recorded in history that took place around 2350 BC that could have produced the necessary temporary climatic changes to cause the ice to begin to form and then melt was the worldwide flood.
The pre-flood canopy of water that existed before the flood, which came into being when God created the atmosphere in the midst of the waters and separated the waters from below the atmosphere from the waters above the atmosphere, (Gen 1:6-7), provided a tropical climate throughout the earth in which the ocean temperatures were 80 degrees and the atmospheric pressure was 28 p.s.i. as opposed to the present 14 p.s.i..
Gen. 1:6-7 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
The higher atmospheric pressure caused plants to grow much taller than at present, which we find evidenced in the giant plant fossil records. Dr. Mori, from Japan, demonstrated this when he pressurized carbon dioxide to the stem of a cherry tomato plant and covered it with a plastic shield to protect it from the ultraviolet rays and after 16 years the plant grew 40 feet tall and produced over fifteen thousand softball size tomatoes.
In lieu of the fact that God shut up the rain from the sky at the end of the flood (Gen 8:2) and that there presently is no canopy of water surrounding the atmosphere tells us that the canopy of water dissipated during the flood.
Gen. 8:2 Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained;
The results of this include the following: our atmospheric pressure dropped to the present day 14 psi, which caused the plants to cease to grow as tall; the life span of man shortened (Gen 5:3, Gen 11:24-25) because of the lower atmospheric pressure and the increased exposure to ultraviolet rays, which were previously filtered by the canopy of water and the atmosphere cooled to 32 degrees at the Polar regions because the insulating factor that the canopy provided between the air above the canopy and the air below the canopy was removed.
Gen. 5:3 When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. 4 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.
Gen. 11:24-25 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah; 25 and Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and he had other sons and daughters.
The pre-flood warm ocean temperatures coupled with the cooler atmospheric temperatures produced a constant cloud cover throughout the earth, which caused it to begin to snow in the Polar regions and in the higher altitudes in the mountain ranges and caused cooler than present summer temperatures, which enabled the ice packs to remain during the summer seasons and grow as far south as northern USA. The increased volcanic activity caused by the movement of the upper crust during the flood helped produce the increased cloud cover, which aided in causing the cooler summers. Ancient historians and writers documented these climatic conditions when they recorded that there was constant twilight and black rain during this time period. As the ice packs built up the ocean levels dropped several hundred feet, enabling the inhabitants to build their coastal cities at the lowered ocean boundaries. During this time period it is estimated that the middle latitudes of the earth, which include Egypt and Israel received an average of 40 inches of rain per year, which afforded lush farmlands (Ex 9:22, Num 13:17-24), as is depicted in the hieroglyphics discovered painted on the walls of ancient tombs.
Ex. 9:22 Now the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
Num. 13:17 When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he said to them, “Go up there into the Negev; then go up into the hill country. 18 “See what the land is like, and whether the people who live in it are

Answer 3

You mean like that Bayes Theory one? Well, they don't really have any that mean anything. There is no way to calculate the odds of a god. The best you could do is compare it to other things that have identical evidence and say that the odds would be the same.

Answer 4

Statistics are not the best way to convert anyone. Prayer is. The holy rosary is God's preferred means for obtaining conversions.

God bless!

Answer 5

Those meaningless statistics are the best they can do with what's left of their brains after brain-washing.

Because they have no meaningful statistics....
