This formula statement seems to comfort you, though I don’t understand why.
It does not but unfortunately all my family, my tribe, and my country believe in it.In the 1960’s 2 American scientists won the Nobel Prize for discovering the spatial origin of the Big Bang…when they discovered low frequency radio waves coming from residual background radiation in a PARTICULAR AREA of space not too far from where we are now.
For me what I wrote is a wonderful thing because that realization is what led me to believe in God and ultimately to the Catholic Faith. When I first realized that, there was no confirmation bias about it: I was a practical atheist. So for me it was not a confirmation bias but the opposite: a revelation of something previously less than unknown to me.
I can see that you are placed in a difficult situation. What I wonder is… do you think that the fact that there are many who believe in Islam in any way makes Islam true? Or are you referring to the difficulties many Moslems face in converting or even seeing the truth?
Your version of history is inconsistent with truth. Here is the list of American Nobel laureates in Physics in the 1960’s:
I think that God chooses different ways by which to make Himself obvious to individuals. One way is by His creation: “The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands” (Psalms 119:1); and another way is by His redemptive work in Jesus on the cross: "That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him (Ephesians 1:9). God is a Spirit and consequently does not have to advertise Himself on a billboard like a fast-food restaurant, for example.
Consider the angels that had to be cast out of heaven itself. There is nothing that a determined will cannot reject.
Which formula are you referring to ? Why don’t you try reading the Bible and start from there. Linus2nd
The first part, people are born in the Islamic countries and becoming Muslims by “inheritance”, if there was even a single hint in the sky pointing to Christianity, I think the whole religions demography would be changed.
Yes, let’s look at that. You certainly recognize some of the great men in history. For example what made Abraham, Moses, Christ, Confusius, Buddha great or what made their greatness possible? They got into their own boat and set out into the deep. They broke away from the crowd, from their own people to find a more perfect way. And each achieved his own specific goal and inspired millions and billions to do the same. Why not consider doing what these men did. And of course I would encourage you to follow Christ as the ideal counter cultural man who achieved the ultimate goal of all humanity ( in my opinion). Wouldn’t hurt you to quietly look into that.

I think that most of us were responding to the original poster’s question about a sign indicating that God exists.
See that was the point, if we had a sign, then non of those obstacles to overcome.
It takes a lot of courage. Your first obligation is to save your own soul. Do that and you may also save theirs. Remember St. Monica who prayed for her son Augustine for 20 years. In the end he became the Bishop of Hippo and one of the Church’s greatest Saints. So listen to the Lord and cast your net into the deep. Linus2nd
He didnt put a sign in the sky, but he put one on the ground called the Catholic Church.Excellent observation, that indicates how effective it was, so why He doesn’t put a permanent one for all generations on this earth to led them to the right religion?
