Can you make a God claim?

[John V]

1) Coherent/consistent: The claim has to make sense. You have to define what you are talking about, in clear terms. It must be consistent with itself, and with the things we know about reality.

I disagree that a claim must be consistent with what we know about reality.

First, this statement is ambiguous, particularly "we" and "know."

Second, as I understand those terms, this criterion is not generally applied to claims. For example, we knew that time proceeded at a constant rate everywhere. By your criteria, we wouldn't have bothered listening to Einstein, because we knew that his claim was not consistent with reality.
