Have you ever experienced God's presence?

Something called god told me that a tree fell down after a storm. I thought it was just a small tree only when I looked out my window the biggest tree we had fell. Despite there being a pool, a shed, and two fence around it, nothing was damaged. Bernd told me he protect me, that was the closest, I felt his presence. Right now It’s 64° degrees in heaven btw

Not in a direct and emotional way, I think. If I have experienced the sublime in many forms (the existential, the organic, and the perfect), when I see the ordered Sky, when I think about all the things that exist and are complex and form an interconnected and interdependent network (like nodes of a great web), when I saw some Euclidean demonstrations in a logic seminar and then felt the perfection and that our physical World responds to that metaphysical order which is understandable in a mental key (all modern physical science, and before it classical astronomy, can be understood as the history of geometry and, in general, mathematics applied to the forms of Nature, that is, making explicit its underlying logical structure). And when I see or enter a temple, I also feel the sublimity of the sacred.
But I haven’t had the experience of it as some saints or visionaries describe it. As Salvador Dalí said, "they’ve only presented it to me elliptically." I think about the cosmological argument, the teleological, the ontological, and the moral; I believe there’s reason to think of a First Cause, which is an Ordering Principle and also a Moral Principle, and that at least possesses the quality of being perfect and (exists from and by itself) and that, as it is the principle of order and morality, is, in some sense, intelligent. (But I don’t know if it is thinking or conscious.)

Science doesn't lie, religion is good, and secularism was a mistake of the "enlightened":
