Personal experience

[Eilonnwy]

anyone with a materialistic perspective on reality will deny any kind of subjective evidence as having any value. Those who accept the possibility of the intangible as a more than likely possibility use all evidence, especially using like evidence for valid proofs.

Personal experience is not evidence. I cannot take on face value evidence that amounts to "something happened because I wanted it to." There isn't a logical leap to assume that God intervened, no proof just assurances based on what could easily be coincidence. The person can be lying, the person can be delusional, the person could have misinterpreted events, etc... If I saw an alien in my house tonight, I may be convinced, but if I don't have anything tangible from that alien, I have absolutely no reason to expect anyone to believe me, as frustrating as that may be.
