Is the Bible True?, page-602

''For the moment can we put aside the anthropomorphic, religious, made in the image of Man, God/Orchestrator/Creator.
Then disregard the plentiful subjective accounts and traditions of mystics and others regarding the existence of "higher" levels of consciousness that enable a brief glimpse and sometimes contact with those higher levels, though of course not the Prime cause which is unknowable.
I only say disregard because this is hearsay except for those who have had such experiences ... which isn't the case for you and certainly doesn't qualify as evidence that "anyone can see and verify".


What I meant was, if the mystics, while in their 'higher state of consciousness' are able to acquire information about the physical world, the human condition, or whatever cannot be acquired through mundane means, then it is this information is that potentially verifiable, if verifiable, there is our objective evidence.



''So, the interesting question is what would the evidence need to be to show the existence of a cohesive, intelligent creative flow that leads to all the manifestations we see ? How would this be investigated, experiments performed leading to proof ?''

A good question....what would it take? Perhaps a body of information that could not have been acquired through normal physical means, observation, instruments, microscopes, telescopes, Hadron colliders, sensors, etc. A body of information that is relevant, verifiable and astonishing in its depth and scope of understanding of the world and human affairs.......
