So tell us, do you think that the bible's description of a spirit is a trustworthy representation of reality?
If yes, then what makes you think so? Why do you accept it as representative of reality?
How, do you imagine, the people who wrote the bible came across that description?
Could any of us come across it, too, if we had never heard of the bible nor of its contents?

Wrong, that whole premise is based upon a spirit being a part of the physical, which it isn't.
How does the non-physical interact with the physical?

This has nothing to do with the discussion.

Who cares what the Bible says? This is a book that reports on talking snakes ... why should I take any word in it seriously?

I wonder how much knowledge taken from the bible was used to build the machine?

By definition ghosts would need to interact with the physical world to have any meaningful existence:- Poltergeists, apparitions, disembodied presences, anything that acquired information regarding your personality, beliefs, experiences...
Even if they existed in one or more of the Kaluza Klein compacted dimensions it would not be undetectable.
I'm not convinced that Prof. Cox has the data to back up the claims he has made recently but his basic premise is sound.

You should have mentioned the talking donkey earlier. That changes everything!

Well, I already provided you with one concept already, which was the relativity of time. The bible clearly states that time is relative, and that concept is something we can trust because it's correct.
Another concept is original seed. In the beginning every seed God originally created he gave the ability to reproduce after it's kind, hybridization/genetically modification removes this ability (because it was never part of the original creation) making the seed sterile.
Quote:And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Again another concept that we can trust.
Quote:https://extension.illinois.edu/hortihints/0008c.html
Not every plant’s seeds are worth keeping. Hybrid plants are developed by crossing specific parent plants. Hybrids are wonderful plants but the seed is often sterile or does not reproduce true to the parent plant. Therefore, never save the seed from hybrids.
Therefore when Bible states that God is a spirit, this obviously means that a spirit is not part of this physical universe because God clearly existed before the universe was created.
