By way of example, consider the Catholic dogma of transubstantiation: When a Catholic takes part in the sacrament of the Eucharist, she believes that the bread and wine change their substance into the body and blood of Christ, but they don't change their elemental form - to any conceivable test, the remain bread and wine. What sort of experiment could you devise to test the claim that bread and wine become flesh and blood while remaining bread and wine?

DUH, the point was to them, not to those who know it would be pointless. OF COURSE IT IS POINTLESS, because they have nothing.
Just like you could not get a Star Wars fan and Star Trek fan and Harry Potter fan in a lab, if they were treating that fiction as fact. DUH DUH DUH.
It IS pointless, I AGREE, and my point is if they had something they could actually put their money where their mouths were and not simply masturbate over their fantasies.
