If you choose to act as if they do, you are making an intuitive inference which is in itself non falsifiable. If you choose to treat certain kinds of inferences as more logically valid than others, feel free. It should not surprise you that other people find your intuition lacking, just as you find theirs lacking.Thanks for clarifying my objection to your measly standard of evidence regarding the proposition at hand. You basically conceded my point that a determination of the causes of certain experiences demands a far moral critical analysis than that which you proposed: a) believe in god. b) see if you find confirmation. Of course you will, in the same way that a mind who wants to believe in extraterrestrials is more likely to encounter a UFO that is perceived as confirmation of his or her prior beliefs or desires.
