I just figured, if Old English came from America, then those great figures must be from whom we Receive Pronunciation.

Knowledge and feelings of others. Sometimes coming out with everything all at once is a bit overwhelming for others, as their everything would be for us; and sometimes saying everything in our natural way triggers hurt feelings in others (often due to subtle misunderstandings and expectations), as their way might to us.

Simple answer: I find I carry on believing in God in much the same way I believe in Science. A mixture of experience, logical coherence, testimony, teaching from people I trust, and connection with other things I know/believe, that makes - to my mind - God's reality overwhelmingly more likely than not.
