Science, faith, and theists

[Michael]

Hello Ben

So far I have given the universe as evidence for (not proof of) a creator. I have given the sense of the numinous and subsequently changed lives as evidence for (not proof of) the numen. The question then is whether we can then test these with science (as that is what I was asked to do) . I don't know of a way we can, but I'm interested in any ideas.

But I'll offer you a third evidence that is specific to the Christian faith if you like. And that is the evidence of reports that Jesus Christ, who is reported as saying he is one with God and was sent by God, rose from the dead. Again I do not offer this as proof, but as prima facie evidence for a God who breaks down the barrier of death.

So the challenge given to me was to take my faith into the lab. How might I take any of these three examples of evidence (again, I fully accept they are not proof) into the lab to test whether my faith is sufficiently warranted?

P.S. I believe the sense of the numinous and a positive change in life is sufficient warrant in itself.
