That's why it's called FAITH....Thomas was also a doubter.

I had a good friend, sadly died a few years ago. A very intelligent man, mathematician Oxford graduate.

Many years ago when on holiday in Greece he sat watching the sun go down over the hills and wondered at the beauty of it all, of the balance of nature and felt there had to be an unseen power to have created all of this...the heavens and the earth.

He became a priest and a good caring priest he was too. Ordinary bloke, used to support two teams Arsenal and Cardiff. He often came to home games with me. Good for a laugh, good repertoire of dirty jokes...but underneath it all an undying faith in God.
