In the original script Solo was supposed to be trying to test whether they knew anything about space travel and Kenobi was supposed to give a look like "What kind of an idiot do you think I am?" It did not come across well in the final film. 1

Every decision we make in this life is based on a reason; you wouldn't go out bowling when there's a huge snow storm, I could not run untested, unproven vaccine, flu tests in my clinic, I need some verifiable evidence that they work at least 98%of time, I'm sure you scrutinize some personal/professional decisions over & over before giving go ahead....Then why would you accept something so untested, so unproven in any shape or form week after week? I am not criticizing you, I'm just baffled, I came here to understand what drives your faith so solidly, conclusively that you want to pursue relentlessly..My Heck! I gave up lightyears sooner..... I responded to you in this or another thread in the same way that Nehor has. You don't feel the revelation of God in you, or you interpret it as heartburn, and so you assume that those of us who have felt Him in our lives as real as daylight are delusional. I feel enlightened by God. I know that He knows who I am. You haven't encountered Him, apparently, and so you don't believe He exists. I have encountered Him, in spades, and I know He exists. For me, it's tested and it's proven. And every scrap of evidence for His existence that I've encountered I have no doubt you would explain away as the equivalent of swamp gas, the planet Venus, and self-deception. If that's the case, then fine, you're entitled to your opinion. I've chosen otherwise. 4

Okay Stargazer you guys responded the same way.....I'm going to ask you this question in a different way....I understand your relationship with your God, not only you said it but also I felt the same way in my believing days.....However there comes a time (for me at least) I want more evidence or a third party confirmation of what I am seeing/feeling is real...... Giving you couple settings for example....You are interviewing a medical rep.and asking the effectiveness of the vaccine/antibiotic he's trying to sell you, or you sitting on a plaintiff's chair in court, judge/prosecutor demands an evidence that you can prove the events transpired the way you say they did...... In my case, came down to the proof...It was no longer enough to feel or believe into my senses or intuitive talents.....Real enough, like many of you I do run a business where I have to look at the results every day of my life, I was getting some unreasonable traffic tickets, I bought a garmin dashcam so I don't have to argue with the cop anymore (And secretly I do hope I'm going to be the next guy to capture a huge meteorite striking across my view, not very close hopefully).....I don't doubt your sincerity when you say "I encountered him".... 1
