John Lennox: the Big Bang, Purpose of Suffering, AI and Irrefutability of Faith | Straight Talk 

Faith can be called a belief without scientific evidence but faith is never without evidence. Some of us experience a life-changing encounter with Christ and that can be of greater value when it comes to evidence than the scientific evidence would be because when God reveals Himself to you, He also leave His Spirit in you that begin to guide you into a new life. A day after God revealed to me in 2011, I went to the balcony to light up a cigarette as usual, being all in awe and wonder, grasping the reality of God and the spiritual world. There, while smoking, my hand shakes as if someone would touch it, I look around, nobody's there, so I continue to smoke and my hand shakes even more strongly, so I stand up and ask "What is this, what is going on", at this moment my eyes are being literally directed towards the cigarette and I sense a clear voice in me telling me "stop it, stop smoking, now you know the truth, now you know your goal is to embrace life and smoking is not that, it kills life" That was the moment when I realized that there was something in me, the Spirit of righteousness, guiding me towards the new life. Just like Jesus promised to send Him. So, the journey began, This Spirit in me, which I now know is the Holy Spirit, gave me the freedom to stop smoking, drinking, and having other addictions like watching porn, I got clean from bad habits like cursing, exaggerating, being a hypocrite, entertaining myself with stuff like worldly movies, music, violent content like fights, telling stupid jokes, etc. I have the strength to keep myself clean and clear, my home clean and in order, my money in the right control, etc. My relatives could not understand what was happening to me, my dad said he could not recognize me, when I say this is God, who is changing me like this, they go silent. Later the Holy Spirit showed me certain things about my future, I am moving to another country, I am getting married, I have certain missions and goals to get into, also many obstacles but nothing overwhelming because He is with me, so no fears, no real worries, not even death itself.

@@nikokapanen82 I think "evidence"can bre taken to mean something verifiable by a third party. Your own personal feelings aren't "evidence" in the traditional sense. You may feel perfectly justified in your belief, but those feelings are not transferable to someone else.. The only person who can experience your feelings is yourself. Lots of people have faith. The airline traveller has faith that the flight will end with a safe landing, the commuter has faith they will arrive at work without accident. Einstein, when he made the startling discovery that time was flexible, had faith that he would be proved correct. So there's nothing wrong with faith. However, it can, and has, resulted in bad things, such as when the person has faith they can fly, and jump off a tall building., to find out their faith was unfounded. It always wise to temper faith with a bit of caution.
