God, Energy and Matter

[Rahn127]

If someone hits me with a baseball bat, I don't need to look for scientific proof before I realize it.  You might tell me I could have imagined it, but that wouldn't change the fact that I got hit by a baseball bat.  Someone visiting from another country, who also got hit by a baseball bat, might think he got hit by some other kind of club, but he still got hit by a baseball bat.

If you want to have some other evidence before you would believe then go ahead and wait for it.  I've got no good reason to spend my life looking for other ways to prove it's real.

You are now talking about things that we can demonstrate exist and can perform actions.
People exist.
Baseball bats exist.
People can swing a bat and cause damage upon other people.
All of this can be taken into account when you make your claim that "someone hit you with a baseball bat."

But let's put this physical claim into proper context when it comes to your personal experience with what you claim about a god.

Let's look at this claim.
"An invisible, intangible thing punched me in the jaw."

1. You didn't see it happen.
2. It's intangible so you couldn't have felt it.
3. There is no damage to your jaw.
4. There is no evidence whatsoever that this happened.

As all magicians can tell you, people can be fooled and their senses are not always reliable.

Beyond the idea that you personally experienced something. Sure I can believe that you did. But that experience can happen all within your own mind.

I have experiences all within my own mind every night when I fall asleep. My brain can create some wonderful experiences that didn't actually happen in real life.
