Joseph Hinman develops the notion that belief in God, while not
absolutely provable, is rationally warranted and that the
experience is life-transforming and vital. He utilizes a body of
empirical scientific studies that go back fifty years and draws
upon sociological experts including Abraham Maslow, Robert Wuthnow,
and Andrew Greeley. The huge body of work includes many important
advances in this scientific work (such as the M scale) this allow
for carefully study of mystical experience and offers a range of
evidence that warrants belief. Arguments for God based upon
personal religious experience have always been considered weak by
both apologists and skeptics. This has been the case due to
prejudices and misconceptions about the nature of religious
experiences... A vast body of data demonstrates that religious
experiences, what some call "mystical" and others refer to as
"peak," have positive, long term effects so dramatic it can only be
described as "transformative..". Religious experience is the effect
of God has upon the human heart, thus, the Trace of God. Hinman
establishes that the Trace of God and religious experience -far
from being caused by or related to mental or emotional instability-
has an impact that is not just positive and life-transforming but
vital: that belief in God is rationally warranted.
