Tooth Fairy Bullshit
RE: Tooth Fairy Bullshit
Then we should be able to detect those interactions at the very least.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

We know that things occur by natural processes, so this would be the most, and at this stage, only logical possible solution.
My beliefs are based on what can be proven, your faith is despite what can be proven.
Get the difference.

Belief and faith are synonymous, there is no difference...

We do, just not by scientists.

I posted evidence of those interactions on multiple occasions, and interestingly enough it gets quiet as a mouse up in here...

Time being relative is the Theory of Relativity, you fucking simpleton.  But, hey, continue to insult people because you're talking about things of which you're obviously clueless.  It's not like you'll surprise us and show that you actually have an ounce of shame.

And once again, Huggy avoids the actual point being discussed because he's clearly wrong in order to focus on an irrelevant detail.  It's okay, Hugster.  We've come to expect nothing less from you.

Ok then, if simply stating that time can be different in relation to point of view is the Theory of relativity, then you admit that the Bible introduced relativity first

Also, it appears this guy spends a lot of time talking about the evolution of consciousness and evolutionary psychology. So, I guess you're just picking and choosing what this guy believes in. If it supports what you believe, he's right. If it doesn't support what you believe, he's wrong. Is it too much to ask for some intellectual integrity from you? Oh, wait, what am I saying...

I take it that's a "no" on the brain fillet?

Funny quick you guys are to discredit someone's work based on nothing...

Your logic kinda fails since he's the CREATOR of this reality, and why would the creator be affected by the creation or not be able to interact with it?

If you create or interact with something then it is part of the same reality that you inhabit.

The only thing you can possibly use to argue against this is the fallacious argument of special pleading in the case of your god.

That is absolutely not true.  In fact, most Christians don't even believe that.  I can't tell you how many times a Christian has told me that God couldn't prove himself because then we would have to believe and faith wouldn't be necessary.  In fact, that came up in a conversation I had rather recently here:

I was taught that God doesn't give us undeniable proof of his existence as a test of faith...those with righteous minds would find him. Joker and any other Catholics, what are your thoughts on this?

So once again you're talking out your ass with absolute certainty about that which is literally impossible to know with any certainty.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

World of Warcraft runs on servers using the same laws of physics as the people who wrote the code.

Yet the rules that apply to warcrafts "world", don't apply to the people that created it, correct?

So then you agree, that a creator of a "universe" can exist apart from the creation yet still interact with it...

Could that be because our standards of convincing evidence is a tad higher than yours? Just saying.

How about posting a few of your best ones, just to see how they stand up to scrutiny?
