    Yes, if I did not believe in the incarnation of God in Christ , I would not believe in a personal God

    because even I would be more loving than a non incarnate god or God for at least I am willing to sacrifice even my life out of love and to be there with the suffering of humanity, which non-Incarnate concepts of God do not

    Yes. The evidence is very strong that the universe was designed by a timeless, immaterial intelligence of unimaginable power and omniscient knowledge. We know that the universe appeared quite suddenly in the Big Bang, which marked the beginning of time, and that it was "fine-tuned" form stars and planets, with many cosmological constants set to very precise values. In addition, the earth appears to have been designed; it is the only planet known to have life, and life is directed by coded messages in DNA.

    Whenever you have a creative message, you have a designing intelligence. In all our experience, a designing intelligence must be a person--not an impersonal force, not a machine, but an intelligent designer.

    Yes. Because of the experience of myself and many others. The world and the Bible also show me that there is a personal God who loves you and me.

    Yes. I have recently been praying to him a lot lately, and he is "making my paths straight." Proverbs 3:6.

    Yes

    Because person-hood is not an attribute nor an "emergent property" of materials.

    Persons are a product of the personal, not the material. It is a trait imparted in being made in God's image.
