Dear Fellow Emmaus Community Members:

A short time ago, an article written by Katherine Tanny, in the Austin American-Statesman, books section, caught my attention. Victor Stenger, author of the book
"God, the Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist," gave a lecture on the subject and was promoting sales of his book. The event was
sponsored by the Center For Inquiry and the Austin Community of Atheists. Stenger stated that God doesn't exist because the "absence of evidence is evidence of
absence." Furthermore, he said there is no verifiable evidence that God has ever talked to anyone or that He answers prayers.

I am confident in stating that Victor Stenger has not been on a "Walk to Emmaus." We have been blessed in a special way through our Emmaus experience.
This experience has strengthened our relationship with God and His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We know God exists because His handiwork is
everywhere for us to see. We know God exists because we can hear Him. We know God exists because we can feel Him. We know God exists because He
is revealed in our minds and hearts.

Praise God, and to Him is all the glory!

De Colores,

John Zech, Lay Leader
