Hmm, Evidence That Demands a Verdict, huh? Interesting. I'm always looking for more scientific and historic proof of God's existence, so I shall be looking into this book, when the time allows for it.
And I totally agree with your sentiment that hard proof, rather than fuzzy feelings, should be used to back up God's existence. I mean, yes I have some personal reasons, and I know that God's spoken to me personally many times in my life, but I don't use that as evidence when talking to others who don't believe in God. That's just my own private revelation, when talking to others I much prefer using cold, hard facts.
And I also am a bit of a skeptical loner too. I generally don't go along with something unless I'm absolutely certain that it can't NOT be true, which I guess makes me a man of little faith, but whatever. And I've also come to the realization that, even though I will absolutely carry out God's commandment to spread His love to others, I just don't like people in general. There are some with similar interests (like yourself) who've I've come to like, but for the most part I just don't like other people.
