A testable hypothesis
Hyp: God will communicate with me if I will listen.
Parallel: Electricity will flow in the wire if I move the magnet.
Prep: I cultivate a desire to listen with the instrument in me created by God which hear him.
Parallel: I create and refine an instrument to meassure electricity.
Test: I, in my own words, tell God I want to hear from him.
Parallel: I move the magnet and watch the electricity detector.
Result: God communicates with me.
Parallel: The instrument tells me there is electricity flowing in the wire.
Retest: As often as I need/want to, I speak to God; varying the words depending on my needs.
Parallel: I run the experment with different magnets and wire.
Report: Tell the world that God will talk with us if we listen.
Parallel: Tell the world that electricity can be created.
This experment is done every day and is scientifically sound in every way.
Very best wishes,
Bob, Alice, and Eve

Re: Maybe there is no Origin
I like meeting people. Occasionally, we touch on interesting topics. Sometimes the topic turns to salt. A very few times the other person tells me that salt has no flavor. The first time, my jaw dropped but I am no longer shocked. During one of those converstions the other person insisted that if I would build an instrument that could tell him what salt tasted like then he would be interested.
Point one: not all things are testable by instruments.
Point two: when one has tasted salt one can not deny having tasted it.
Best regards,
Bob, Alice, and Eve
