So you don't feel I am ignoring your points:
Why must you have scientific evidence to corroborate the claim that people interact daily with an otherwise undetectable deity? Are you really asking me this? Watch Rob's video for a more detailed and eloquent answer, but my answer is: why WOULDN'T you demand such evidence for yourself before believing in something so extraordinary?!

Because you can't really come to any objective conclusion about those things without it. You're welcome to all of your feelings and thoughts, but without a scientific framework to back up an objective truth claim about an experience ("my experience is a direct reflection of my personal relationship with the Christian God of the bible") then that experience remains purely subjective; the alleged cause is essentially unprovable.
Quote:While I do not believe this to be the case, it could be that God only reveals himself to us as one mind to another. How would you go about corroborating that?
I never could, which is one reason why I don't believe in God. [emoji39]
