Consider the Evidence

Are Christians weak-minded, deluded, or emotionally immature?  Do they believe what they believe "in spite of the evidence" as one famous atheist puts it, ignoring what is inconvenient to their preferred worldview?  Or is deep Christian faith something entirely different than many people's assumptions, including the assumptions of some Christians?  The story of Thomas is an illuminating example for us of someone converted BY the evidence.  Can modern Christians have a similar experience?
