Obviously, not everyone agrees that God exists. Accordingly, God is not a fact in the same sense as "grass is green." Everyone can see that grass is green, but not everyone can see God.
Additionally, your response didn't answer the question. You tried (and say that you failed) to falsify the Bible. However, you didn't say what you would have found that would have convinced you that the Bible was false.
You said that you performed 5 controlled experiments. What were those experiments?
Hi,
The point of knowing God exists or not, is not for everyone. The point of everyone agreeing that God exists is also not the point. The point also is not for everyone. I would like it to be though. I would.
The fact that I know God is Real, is really something that I know. I also know some things that no one else knows, but all people might be like that. All people have something in their lives that they know about, that few if any others know.
I did not try to falisify the Bible in my world of work and words. I tried to prove that the Bible is not Real, it is not what it purports to be. I tried to prove that the Bible is wrong somewhere, not falsifiy it. That word is foreign to me. It sounds more like a Philosophy word, and may have a direct equivalent in science, or it may be used in science now, but it was not a word used when I worked in science. So, I'd rather not use it, in reference to my work.
What would have convinced me the Bible is false, is anything that I understood exactly what was meant in their wordings in The Bible, and, it was contrary to any proven science but, but proven science that I also fully understood, and I fully intended and did present my findings then to the world.
When I was done, I had two items that I could prove did not happen that The Bible said did happen****
**** Only in peer review, what I thought was wrong by sending my work off to any major religion that would look at it, was that I did make two errors in my findings, and actually I only had two provable items that would prove to me and the world that the Bible is and was a work of fiction, rather than what I actually found.
So the long story is, I found only two items, but upon review after two religious groups the Baptists and The Roman Catholics got back to me, was I had made errors. Those two items were now Plausiby correct.
Are you sure you understand controlled experiments? Only one thing is changed in a controlled experiment, and the results are tallied.
In my case, the first of those is all I remember any more. The control was similar in nature to the way things always work, like in a a person's year, in happiness and satisfaction and interactions with others. And then changing but one thing, doing that because it is stated in the Bible and assumed to be said directly by God, therefore it is doing it because God said it, and not knowing at all how it would work out.
Rather than a year's worth of interactions, I chose the responses in happiness and satisfation and interactions over a 35 year period, which I knew being a natural researcher as it is just something we notice and categorize. I chose my parent's level of happiness and satisfaction and the same interactions, as I had, 35 years of results, in working with and for them, at times in both family, business and now a daughter relationship. I had all of that for an issue that I had always done. I always honored my mother and my father. I have always done that.
Then, I chose honor the father and thy mother, because God was supposedly to have said that and it was simple enough for me to understand, almost. Almost, as when I ran the experiement, I realized almost instantly that I did not really know the definition of the word honor.
I ran it for two weeks anyway, expecting to shut it down, for that error, as not even a single item, not even a word can be not understood, in a controlled experiment. Everything has to be understood. Everything.
In two weeks, that was no longer a problem, as I could feel if that makes any sense yet, what the word meant, and what I could feel is what it meant.
100% of the results matched what would be expected if God did actually say that, and more. I was not their primary caretaker. My brother and his wife were, as the family business was passed on to my brother to run, and he actually loved his mom, and his dad. He actually did.
I ran that experiment till I had enough pain versus satisfaction results. In my entire life, I have never ever not had problems with some of things I did with my dad and my mom. I that year and a half, that 18 months of secret, yes secret experimenting, not once were they not happy with the results. And, like I said, they knew nothing. No one did. I could not taint the results, by letting anyone know.
When it came time to stop that first experiment, the results were so good, that I left it running telling no one, but I went on to each of the other four and ran them, one at a time.
Later, I was the go to person for my mom and dad. I live more than 500 miles from them. All issues on what to do with them and how to treat them came to me. Yes, they are both dead now, both dying years apart. Yet, till they died, even with each of them on thier death beds separately, I was the go to person, because of that first controlled experiment, where I had to feel honor, as that word I soon found out, I did not know what it meant in practice, when I was sure that I did, when I designed that experiement.
I compared 35 years of results, to only 1 1/2 years of results. The only change was doing that because it is said in That book that God said that.
Is this any help?
LOVE,
