inversely why can't non-believers accept the possibility of the existence of something they can't experience with their 5 senses?
Well I can accept that such a thing may exist but if it is beyond our senses that surely such an encounter must be entirely individual and thus hold no weight for anyone else. if people say they talk to a skyfather it's their business. It's only when they say "and the skyfather told us that the earth is only 6000 years old, so science must be all wrong/lies" that I become interested.
The other thing is that althought science affects all of us - for many GODS are just not of much interest and do not have a direct impact. So maybe the first question is "why are so many people just not arsed about Gods".
