These rationalists only believe what they can see or sense. But we know there were phenomena we can’t sense, nor could our machines sense, until the technology was developed. Who is to say that there are 10 or 100 or 1,000 more phenomena we can’t detect?
The thought experiment I like to use is this: Are dinosaurs real? Probably, but how do you KNOW? I can show you some big old bones. Does that prove that dinosaurs are real? There are lots of things I could do to make you think a certain way.
Suppose for a moment that science has been slowly, methodically built up as a religion for 500 years by a secret society bent on destroying Christianity. The scientific process is good and a real way to explore the world around us. But science has morphed into a religion with a doctrine, canon, clergy and adherents.
