Simon. Just to clarify something, I wasn't talking about material gain when talking about an improved life.
But, yes, how would you test between Hindhu and Christian faith in the lab? Can it be done? I'm not yet hearing anybody say faith can be tested in the lab. It seems to be the one thing we all agree on. I've given three propositions. I'm hearing a lot of objections to those propositions (natch), but I'm not hearing anybody say how they could be tested/falsified in a lab.
And on that I'm going to move on to other threads because we've given this one a good airing and we're not getting anywhere with our experimental planning.
Anyway, it's off to evening prayers for me :-) +
