I know the Incarnation happened because I know Christ.
just because you can't shake hands with someone, that doesn't mean you question they exist. I mean, do you question that Abraham Lincoln existed just because you can't shake his hand?
I believe that Abraham Lincoln existed because there seems to be sufficient evidence that he existed. But Abraham Lincoln isn't God, and never claimed to be. This comparison is apples and oranges. But, I do believe that Christ existed, but the claim to divinity is hard to know with epistemic certainty. Anything infinite is hard to know with epistemic certainty because we are finite beings.
As I said before, you can posit all the same things that you are saying and exchange it with any god. But it still doesn't offer up any kind of justification. How do you know for certain that you aren't falling victim to prelest? How do you know that it's truly Christ?
