What reason do you have to trust these feelings? The history of the human race is littered with people that were led astray by such feelings, which is why there is emphasis put upon repeatable, verifiable evidence. Our brains are capable of all kinds of strange trickery, which I readily admit isn't proof that your experience isn't real. We do know, however, that our brains are far from fool-proof, and coming to the conclusion that there is anything beyond the material brain must be understood that that conclusion itself is being filtered by that less than fool-proof brain.

With all that we know about the fallibility of the brain, what makes you trust it when you come to an unverifiable conclusion?

Do you need repeatable scientific evidence that you love your parent, partner or child? How do you know that you love them (if you do, of course)? How can you prove these actual subjective feelings mathematically? I would assume that you just "know" that you love them by intuition alone. That is, you cannot determine this by inference, observation or reason. My conclusion about God is the same.
