He stated what is known and accepted should you seriously consider the subject. Are you claiming that God, angels, heaven etc are empirically provable? ie do you contest the stand point?
what are our options?
- They came into some person's dreams/thoughts - inspiration.
- They actually materialized for some people (non-empirical, no go here, right?)
- Some person dreamed them.
- Some person imagined them.
- Some person postulated them.
- Some person reasoned that they must exist.
- They wrote themselves, magically, into the book.
- please add more as fitting...
