";"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." C.S. Lewis

The Argument From Desire
Probably my favorite argument for the existence of God would have to be the argument from desire. While facts about design, morality and intellect are useful, we all really want a God who will speak to our soul's desires. As Lewis put it in his essay "The Weight of Glory";
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." C.S. Lewis
