You say it wouldn't take much to convince you and that you are partial to math. Well, there is a lot of math in the Bible and if you really investiagte you might be amazed at the improbabilities that occur. I won't go into it here but Chuck Missler has done some research on it. Check out his book Hidden Treasures Koinonia House
By the way, a friend of mine that lives on my floor at college, has had the gift of discerning spirits. God has spoken to him on many occasions and allowed him to see many aspects of the spiritual world. He has seen demons and angels among other things. He's seen some pretty amazing things that would fill chapters of description.
I'm not so naive as to think that you would actually be convinced by this. All I have is his word. I personally believe him. He is a quiet humble ordinary guy studying to be an engineer like me. He is a Christian and a servant of God and others. He is not a Charismatic wierdo nor a schizophrenic. He simply loves God and likes to observe people, so God blessed him by allowing to know a little more and see a little beyond our 3 dimensions.
God still performs miracles. And if you really want to know him he will make himself known to you. If you do not, no amount of miracles can make you believe.

"How do you think it works, exactly?
Eyesight isn't magic. The principles are pretty well-understood. How exactly does light bounce off of an incorporeal entity in order to be seen?"
If you're looking for a scientific answer I can't give you one. And like I said I did not expect you to believe him.
As to how it works, I suppose its how near-death experiences work where people have "come back" describing their bodies lying on a bed and the actions of the EMS personell and things going on in the next room. Of course these are proofs only to the people who have experienced them or to those who believe in the trichotomous nature of man and thus will be of no interest to you.
Its interesting you mention the light because according to my friend there are different kinds of light. He mentioned one thing in particular he thought strange. Angels as well as Christians that he saw exuded light and yet cast shadows in the sunlight and yet were semi-transparent. In one experience a demon-possesed girl's demon came out of her and among other things attacked him, but was immediately repelled by bright blue light that flashed out of his own body.
Also when he said God spoke to him he does not mean God causes vibrations of air to make sound, nor does he mean he kinda gets the feeling God means something. He "hears" a distinct voice loud like a trumpet blast but not in any particular language, but the meaning is very clear.
By the way he said God took the gift away from him about six months ago and has not allowed him to see anything since.
I think for most of us in the time we spend in this physical body our spirit is limited in senses and perceptions to what our physical bodies sense and percieve. When we leave our body behind we will "know fully even as we are fully known" And for some, like my friend get a preview of coming attractions.
Anyways, do with that what you will.
