There's a difference between proof and good evidence. I would sincerely hope that you at least have good evidence before making important decisions in other areas. And for your wife, I'm sure there is plenty of evidence that she loves you. No one is asking for 100% proof of anything, science doesn't work like that.

Can you make a God claim?
|
Suppose I say that 》I 《 am god, and have the aviators and the compound in Guyana to prove it.
Can any theist here truly prove me wrong?
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Heck, people make decisions like using recreational drugs in spite of evidence of harm. People in general are more emotional than rational.

OK, people make decisions for bad reasons. I'm not disputing that. What's this got to do with anything? I'm really not sure what your point is. We don't make or test scientific claims while high on drugs.

Therefore, it's unreasonable for you to assert that religious claims should be ignored because they don't lend themselves to scientific study. RE: Can you make a God claim?

When did I say they should be ignored? This whole thread is asking someone to make a claim. You haven't made any for me to ignore.
I'm interested in finding out what is true. If that is not your interest, than that is fine. People believing things don't make them true, no matter how many people believe the same thing. You keep giving other examples like love as if they cannot be tested, but they can indeed, in various ways. We got as far as God is a supernatural being... And I asked what a supernatural being is, and I've not had an answer. |
