Indoctrination

[Mister Agenda]

Why?

Believers often, knowingly, lack evidence for God's existence. So a lack of evidence isn't exclusive to atheists.

Perhaps being unsatisfied with believing something despite a lack of evidence is.

Well there are different types of evidence. The evidence of a believer is faith-based evidence, meaning it's not empirical evidence, but still a valid form of evidence.

One of the things that tells us evidence of something is valid is whether it's persuasive to people who aren't already convinced of it.

What if a person has an extra-sensory (beyond 5 senses) experience in a way that can be measured using scientific tools, would you consider that evidence for something supernatural?

If a person has psychic perceptions that can be tested and measured using scientific tools, I would consider that evidence for psychic perceptions. I'm not sure I could still consider that supernatural if science can detect and measure it.

That's an easy one.  I'll flip a coin 100 times, recording the exact sequence of heads/tails.  You, via your extrasensory ability, email me the outcome (especially, in advance); we'll compare.

Yeah that's not at all how that works.

Yah, it would only work like that if it actually worked.
