Quote:You ask a woman out, date her, and propose marriage. She asks, "Do you love me?" You reply yes. She says, "Can you verify that for me? If you can't I won't marry you."
Is there any possible way to prove your love to this woman? You can do nice things and say all the right words, but will she ever really know? Which is more important: her believing the unverifiable truth or her clinging to scientific process?
People have already answered to your question in excellent ways, but let me point out that there is a big flaw in your argument if you want to use it to justify your beliefs: you can physically meet a woman, but you can't physically meet your god.
I'll write another argument to you. It's still a flawed one, but it's less so than your comparison.
Imagine that you had several chat sessions with a woman on the internet. She finds you intelligent, compassionate and funny, and she claims she says she's fallen in love with you. Unluckily, you've never met this woman face to face. Would you believe her, even if you've never met her?
(Bear in mind that the example is still flawed, because you at least chatted with her, while you can't chat with your god).
