And yet you were willing to post that it was impossible to prove or test god , one way or the other, a few posts back.
You are inconsistent precisely -because- you have insulated the concept. The only context in which you are willing to entertain verification is in the context of "knowing" -your verse assumes existence. Presented with non-existence you assert mystery.
IOW, you are willing to propose that there is a means of verification if existence is assumed, but if existence is doubted you insist that this cannot be tested. This is abject ignorance.
Let me elaborate, your god didn't "create" any of us to begin with, and the heart isn't the "knowing" organ - even though the authors thought that it was at the time. Why on earth would this verse mean something to me? It managed to get everything absolutely wrong in one go.....
