And just to be clear, I make no assumptions. First, I need evidence that there is anything supernatural, particularly human souls. Then I need to see something that indicates some sort of paranormal effect on the natural world. Then I'll need not only evidence of a god, but evidence which only implies that specific god, and only certain sacred scriptures over others. More than anything else, I need to see some way of verifying or falsifying competing ideas to eliminate what is most likely true by weeding out those which certainly aren't, applying the scientific method to religious beliefs.

I'm rejecting this one and closing it. You are encouraged to make a request in
