• I read Robert P. Murphy as a counterpoint to keep me on my feet in my reasoning and thinking and not at all because I side with his conservative Austrian school economics (I don’t). Here he gives us his so called “reasoning”  Why I Know There Is a God. It fails and at times strikes me as being incredibly immature and childish.
