You have no way of knowing whether I am telling the truth or not.I have your own declarations as evidence that you are, at the very least, hallucinating. In the same way that you can claim to know that I never lived a holy life, I can claim that you have never experienced god. Especially since you are defining a holy life as you please, whereas it's pretty commonly accepted that people who see god and talk with him are not in their right minds.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
