Unhappy Help me analyse this text please!

Does God exist? I find it interesting that so much attention is given to this debate. The latest surveys tell us that over 90% of people in the world today believe in the existence of God or some higher power. Yet, somehow the responsibility is placed on those who believe God does exist to somehow prove that He really does exist. To me, I think it should be the other way around.However, the existence of God cannot be proven or disproved. The Bible even says that we must accept by faith the fact that God exists, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). If God so desired, He could simply appear and prove to the whole world that He exists. But if He did that, there would be no need for faith. "Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed'" (John 20:29).That does not mean, however, that there is not evidence of God’s existence. The Bible declares, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

I am sorry - this is [a] much too long and [b] much too small.

Please split it into reasonable chunks in a reasonable size and repost in Editing and Writing Topics.

Hi, Aman, I wonder why you think the lenght is reasanable now, as Anglika has indicated.

Please, do post something shorter and not in bold letters, it is difficult to read and hurts the eyes.

cheers

First, is this an assignment? If so, then please let us see what you think may be the repetitions, complex sentences and so on. We can then comment and advise.

It helps if we know what it is you are doing.
