God is like the wind...

Reading Paul Arden's "God Explained In A Taxi Ride" (2007, Penguin Books) is like reading the "Laughter" page off the Reader's Digest --- always a pleasure to read and at times tinted with a bitter after-taste.

Take this example in one of Paul's topics, "The Answer Is Blowing In the Wind":

A young child asked his father if he could prove there is no God.
'I can't prove it,' he said.
'It's like the wind. You can feel it, but you can't see it.'

How abstract, yet such simple truth! Now this is what I call faith! As Paul puts it, "are you brave enough not to believe in God", if you can't prove that He doesn't exist?
