Is there evidence of something beyond nature?

Interesting.Do you think this differs from the statement: "Often the morals Christians claim God has are based on their interpretation of the bible"?

To a Christian the Bible act as a tune fork which hits the same noted as the Spirit living within us. There are both objective and subjective morals.

Considering the "Spirit" tells every Christian something different, you seem to be saying "I'm going to believe what I want to believe, regardless of any evidence."

Is this correct?

The Holy Spirit doesn't tell every Christian something different.

As I wrote "There are both objective and subjective morals."
What is good for my marriage may not be right for your marriage but being faithful applies to all. So it true the Spirit may guide me a little different than someone else while the Spirit won't guide someone to be unfaithful.
Often the Spirit will tell me what I don't want to hear or do at least at that time. The Bible helps me not to fall in your trap of "Believing what I want to believe." If I didn't have any evidence of regarding my faith I would trash it. I'm someone who continually tested my faith and it has stood the test of time.

If that how it works, it certainly looks that way. Perhaps you could call him back and check.

There is no evidence for this hypothetical interaction prior to the Big Bang.

I just gave you that evidence, and it was presented by renowned physicist Alan Guth. He states quite clearly that the energy in the singularity interacted and smoothed out PRIOR to inflation.

He is just incorrect about the timing of this interaction and the inflation that occurred after the Big Bang.

Interaction first. Inflation second.

There is no evidence of this prior to the Big Bang and Alan Guth has not claimed there is. He may think this is what happened but there is no evidence. If there is present it.
