Considering that I've repeatedly told you that my view of the world doesn't end with science, but rather with something I can actually experience for myself, I rather think you're off base here. The trouble is that none of the experiential proofs for god that people give me, have ever worked on me. If you can't give me something to experience, no way to test the claim that's actually falsifiable, then why would I believe it?
It's the falsifiability that's the important part, by the way; if one can't produce a failure state, then in what way could the test possibly be honest? That's not a science thing, it's just logical.
Quote: That's a little bit of the truth there it's not the full coverage, what about all the other questions? Why does anything exist at all? Why are we here? And so on. Not how we how got here we know how the processes works, more or less I'm sure we will know much more in a thousand years but only about these relatively minor details and specifics of the universe. We're all interested in "truth" here you know.
But how can you be sure your answer is right if you can't objectively demonstrate it? I understand that you've accepted your particular answer, but without being able to show it, how do you intend to confirm it? It can't just be inside your own head; that's the way crazy people get crazier.
Quote:If you just base your belief in God on simply the what the Bible says (the Bible isn't the proof or the argument for Gods existence just the revelation/message) then you're very likely to lose your faith with any modest level of scientific and historical education. You will have to put some work into it if you're serious about wanting to know the truth.
But the only thing you've really got that purports to be material from god is the bible. If you're discarding portions of that, how else do you divine the truth about him?
