Lmao the bible ain't evidence mate, just an old book
I hold no beliefs just a perception of my current existence as processed in my mind.

So you have nothing except speculation and philosophical argument then?
Come back with some supporting verifiable evidence and I'll listen lol
Your brain.

Your feelings are brain patterns. As well as your thoughts.
Patterns created by who/what?!

Evidence which is testable, repeatable, empirical, you know, verifiable.
It ain't embarrassing to admit you have none fella.

I can demonstrate that all of your functions are biological. Can you demonstrate anything otherwise?

When a person claims they can feel god’s love, they must first demonstrate that god exists. And therefore even able to feel.

Nobody including physicists have cosmological evidence of original origin.
I have plenty of evidence supporting claims that people love me, their actions, behaviour towards me, decisions they make which may influence my life etc.
Nobody has evidence their wife lives them.
That belief in love from human friends and family is based on experience, which is more than can be said for any gods lol.
Again this isn't true. Some people feel they feel God for various reasons.
Your friends and family can also be explained as mutually beneficial, social contract, or in the case of sociopaths totally manipulative....
Some people take dmt and experience things..
Again there is no proof one way or the other.
Unless you say pray heals or something and then it doesn't. Or I can walk on water and I can't.
I can convince you that someone’s wife exists pretty easily, and then by evaluating her actions and her own claims, one can be reasonably convinced that she loves him or not.
We could also hook her up to a brain imaging device and have hard evidence of whether her brain patterns support he claims of love.
Brain patterns don't prove love, they prove either hormone release or parts of the brain that respond to a stimulus. For instance you can hook up an actor playing a character and find the same brain patterns.
A person is in no way required to prove anything to anyone. That is your ego speaking.
The problem here is most people have never thought deeply about any of the meaningsame of observation or how they are altered by the mind and by the senses. Nouema and phenomenon as kant would say.
The ultimate skeptic Hume presents how can you prove anything exists.
Hawkin's last paper was on a 2 d universe. If this is true the whole of our perception is entirely wrong. If we live in a simulation again we are not understanding a epistemological nature.
I am not a true believer. But I find great fault in these simple discussions and thoughts people try to use to dismantle deeper subjects.
You can't prove that. You can only prove what happens to our biological functions when people are asked questions.
