At the end of my new to Medium essay over three years ago, https://medium.com/illumination/why-is-it-so-easy-for-people-to-believe-the-most-obvious-lies-yet-require-proof-of-god-339a2a07cc4f, I wrote:

"So, why does this walking BS detector believe in God? Because I look around at the wonders of the universe and achievements by humans both small and large from which divine influence is inferable,

and as I like to say with a phrase I learned in law school and long ago repurposed — res ipsa loquitor. Evidential proof is not required when the thing speaks for itself."

I dropped in pictures of the Great Pyramids and of an Apple store. A friend re-reading it recently asked me if the apple was a reference to the serpent and Adam and Eve? I replied, "I think I had in mind technological innovation with that picture, and that sometimes it's inspired from the other realms."
