Divine Revelation

January 14, 2013 at 12:27 pm (This post was last modified: January 14, 2013 at 12:31 pm by FallentoReason.)

Theists, please enlighten me on this topic. I was thinking today at work how this revelation stuff works, but in terms of the science. Does God create matter in your brain that gets interpreted as a revelation? Does he even violate his own natural laws at all? Furthermore, whatever explanation seems the most convenient, wouldn't the nature of revelations be a direct way of testing for a god? For example, if you believe particles materialise in your brain thus making you experience a revelation, wouldn't we be able to measure that, test it some more and possibly even witness God at work in you in that very moment?
