I think it was God, but I leave room for being wrong. I don't analyze everything that happens to me. I could waste my life away trying to analyze and prove everything that happens to me, but it's more enjoyable to put it in God's hands and let it flow. Living is not a method. I don't believe in God because of that one experience, but rather a daily reinforcement of my belief.
So, you admit that there is no way to distinguish between god talking to you and your brain talking to you. If that’s the case, then on what rational basis have you concluded that you’re pretty sure it was god, and not a delusion? If you, yourself, can’t rationally justify it, then you must understand why others don’t find your personal experience persuasive, yes? Also, “daily reinforcement” of an unfalsifiable and unwarranted belief is not further evidence, it’s confirmation bias.
