Do you at least understand why personal revelation isn't exactly the most credible form of evidence?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

Correct me if mistaken, but I didn't see you try to elaborate on your own personal experience(s) with God/Jesus.
I don't really care about scientific evidence here, or even evidence in general. You're never going to be able to provide me that via your own subjective experience, but I would've loved to see you describe in details what convinces you you're in touch with a grand higher power entity that is beyond your imagination.

Science has accomplished much, but hasn't got us any nearer to God or salvation.

Well, I'm it's right-hand man and I'm eternally saved. What's taking you so long?

Why do you keep using science as an excuse for your failure to come up with a convincing account of your experience(s) with God?

No amount of science can get you nearer to what does not exist, so maybe that's the reason we are left empty handed.
As has already been asked what convinces you that your experience are from a personal higher power ?

That may be true.....but first you need to demonstrate that god exists.
