I was thinking to myself the other day that the most obvious proof that there is a God is the simple notion of love. I have announced on here before that I am Catholic, which I am, but I am speaking more of the basic belief in a higher power rather than an endorsement of mine or any other particular faith.
Think about it: The concept of love appears to be the strongest force in the Universe. Love is what has motivated people to go to war, steal, cheat, lie, kill, and more. It reminds me of that Beatles song, "All you need is love..."
What kind of, "scientific" proof could anyone conjure up that would explain the awkwardness, the insecurity, the confusion, and all of that illusory stuff? Who could really explain the whole experience of love and how it hurts when you're not with that other person? Who could possibly explain how somebody can love another person for what they are or almost are and no matter what they do or say? The very concept of love is highly irrational yet also, highly logical.
This powerful force known as love, I think, really proves that there are forces that exist greater than ourselves and even than the entire Universe. I think if we were really to give up our faith in love, feelings, and God, we would be denying ourselves a lot of happiness.
