RE: What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

Right. Science is falsifiable. Theories are falsifiable. So the alternative explanation is one of these:
1) No one has noticed these theories are not falsifiable
2) No has noticed that data falsifies these theories
3) There's some worldwide scientific conspiracy that silences people who notice that theories are not falsifiable, or can be falsified by data
How likely are these scenarios? In my estimation, these are so incredibly unlikely that they can be safely discounted. It's more likely that I'm actually crazy/asleep/hallucinating all this, and science makes sense only within the context of this experience. Even if that's the case, it still makes sense internally, and these figments of my imagination aren't doing a good job of persuading me otherwise within my virtual reality. Bad figments.
