Through direct revelation or personal experience. I believe much about the supernatural through the witness of people I trust. That's not good enough for you because you rely on science to prove or disprove what it's not equipped for.
And how pray-tell, does direct revelation verify anything to others? It's only good for one person, and what happens when that one person worships a different god than yourself? Still supernatural? ... or wishful thinking?
Even my hard-core fundamental baptist father has never claimed to have had direct revelation. He chooses to believe in the absurd so he can escape the reality of death. Nothing more.
Having deistic beliefs, I know all about wishful thinking, but I don't go around claiming that supernatural forces are running the planet.
You cannot verify anything, and using "personal experience" as some kind of "alternate form of evidence" is just ri-goddamn-diculous.
