You respond that is BS because science, which has no tool or method to determine this, cannot confirm the things to which I refer. Therefore, it is stupid to believe in God or any existence beyond what science has the capacity to discover or measure.
Well, I respect science and view it as an extremely valuable tool for discovering truth and is valuable for improving the human condition. But there's no way I'm going to abandon my belief in God and the supernatural because of knowledge, or lack of such, obtained from a method that is not even equipped to make such a judgment.
I can't take it seriously when you tell me that God cannot communicate himself to countless others and myself when you have no way of knowing that. I prefer to use the method that is best equipped to determine the situation.
My response to you was a question, and you never answered it:
How did you determine that the cause of these experiences was more likely to be supernatural than natural? What is your method? What are your reasons? It’s not our responsibility to reassure you that your beliefs are right via admitting we can’t disprove them. It’s your responsibility as an adult to look within at your own reasoning, and make an objective decision about whether or not it’s good enough to support that belief.
