Why This Book?
I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things ... Ecclesiastes 7:25
(King James Version – This will be noted as KJV after this notation)
There are more than a few books that address the big questions through either faith or reason. Most are philosophical treatises that require some thought to comprehend. My desire was to address some of the important issues in life in simple terms that anyone can grasp easily. I have always had the ability to break down complex issues into easy to understand language that anyone can grasp.
My hope is to involve you, the reader, in the process as a jury using circumstantial evidence to decide about some of life's great issues. Is God real? Why a Messiah? Is the Godhead a Trinity or separate personages? Why do bad things happen to good people? What is the purpose of life? People have always struggled with these questions.
Since there can never be a definitive answer to God's reality (unless you personally get to meet Him) circumstantial evidence is the best way to come to conclusions. Faith and the promptings of the Holy Ghost is the only way to truly know God, but sometimes it is necessary to find faith. Finding faith can come through reason, which is what this book will help with. Circumstantial evidence is a method of drawing inferences from clues. While an inference may not seem like strong evidence, multiple inferences pointing in the same direction should be considered in shaping a conclusion. Imagine how many murderers would get away with their crimes if we insisted that only direct observation by a multitude of individuals could be used to convict in a felony crime. Very few murderers commit their acts where there is a high likelihood of being caught in the act.
If the police found the murder weapon in someone's home, blood on that individual's clothing that belonged to the victim, a motive for the crime that only the suspect had, the suspect's DNA at the crime scene, and witnesses that came forward testifying that the suspect said he planned to kill that victim you would need to consider the possibility that the suspect was guilty. There can be, of course, extenuating circumstances and we can be thankful for reputable defense attorneys that honestly seek for those circumstances.
When building a case in the following chapters for the subjects above I hope to build a solid case that is convincing. There will no doubt be those who try to refute the evidence as a defense attorney would. If you are that defense attorney I can only suggest that your integrity, your character, and your eternal destiny rest on finding the truth. You will neither gain nor lose assignments or promotions based on the outcome of these cases so, of cour

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
