Abstract
Dr. Michael Horan points to the Enlightenment as the point in time where people began to ask this question. He then says that he believes this is the wrong question to be asking, by relating it to the idea of proving that someone loves their spouse. He ends by suggesting that though we cannot prove the existence of God, he believes it to be “a pretty good bet.”
