But love is demonstrable, in that we can feel it, and it's a physical brain state too. Faith is the same. Time and mathematics are conceptual human things that are contingent on us; there's no need for them to be physical.
Meanwhile, you keep trying to say that miracles are at once physical and not testable, and those are binary states. It's one or the other.
Quote:God is not inaccessible. We have access through prayer. Faith is a relationship with an loving, all powerful, merciful God, the nth degree of perfection. That is the God I believe in.
And does he answer prayers? Perform miracles in reality? Those things are testable, which is the objection I had to begin with.
Quote:I do not follow your saying God is falsifiable. You can know God through reason and logic. Thomas Aquinas gave five demonstrations in favor of the existence of God. Faith is leap, but not an irrational leap. http://www.aquinasonline.com/Topics/5ways.html
Ahem.
