Question
Hi Marco,
I recently wrote about something strange that happened to my parents and i just two days ago and I wanted to know what you thought of what happened, here it goes...

"What does it mean to see a bunch of crosses in peoples cars and St. Michael then I get into car accident?"
here's the deal, my parents and i went shopping at a dierbergs store and inside i noticed people wearing crosses and even the guy who gets my dad's mail a young guy was wearing a cross on his bracelet and as i looked up there was an angel picture of Michael hanging in the store a poster of course but still! then as we came out of the store i noticed crosses hanging in people's car windows and the car parked next to ours had this huge colored glass plaque of saint Michael vanquishing the devil in the passenger side window. i stared at it for the longest and told my dad how weird it was to see so many crosses and angel pictures, my mom said it's because of Easter and shrugged it off then disaster struck, we were involved in a front end collision where our car as it was turning into the car dealership parking lot, hit this other car on the driver's side as it was speeding past us! but my parents and i weren't seriously hurt and the woman driving the other car just had a bruise on her arm... but does all those crosses i saw before have any direct connection to the accident that happened after, did me seeing the picture of saint Michael mean anything?

coincidence or is god trying to tell me something? i for one am a little spook but maybe it's just me? right?

Answer
Dear Lilly,

of course I cannot know the answer to your question.
Only God knows.
I do not think however you should ask this kind of questions.
If the Lord wants to tell you something, He has the power to make you understand His message.
So, do not worry; if the Lord is telling you something, everything will be soon become clear to you, unless you conscously or unconsciously refuse to hear Him.
Then, ask yourself: am I doing what is good in God's sight?
We all have always to grow from a spiritual point of view.
We all have always to love more and more the Lord and our neighbours.
Our faith is always weak and we need prayer to feed it.
So pray the Lord and trust Him; He will enlight your mind and everything will be clear.

Your brother in Christ,

Marco

PS I think that faith cannot come only from logic, because to have faith in God means to trust and love God.
I think however that logics and science prove the existence of our soul and the existence of  God and that there are many rational arguments strongly supporting the christian faith.
The explanation of these aguments is rather long and Allexperts allows only to give short answers. You can find such arguments  in the following site

http://xoomer.alice.it/fedeescienza/englishnf.html

where  I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges about brain and matter.
This analysis points out how the laws of physics  prove that the   brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies  the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial element. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God.
In the first article entitled “Mind and brain...” you can find a general discussion of the mind and brain problem from a scientific point of view.
In the second article entitled “Scientific contraddictions in materialism”
you  can find an explanation of the fundamental inconsistencies of  the  typical arguments used by materialists, such as the concept of emergent, macroscopic or holist property, complexity, information, etc.
In the section called “FAQ: answers to  visitors' questions” you can find the answer to many typical questions, such as "Are there any scientifically proved miracles?", "Does the existence of the universe imply the existence of God?", "Can science explain God?", "Can science establish which is the true religion?", "Can science explain consciousness in the future?", and many others.
