Which is not to say that some may genuinely feel they are in a relationship with God and that God communicates with them.

You offer us nothing other than human thought in your arguments. Then you demand material evidence in the presence of material evidence and extend that demand by expecting material evidence for anything metaphysical.

I get that. You don’t believe. You deny the evidence offered to you yet demand more. I believe that most here can live with your choice. Why can’t you live with the choice that believers make?

Everything that exists in the physical universe, by definition, has physical properties that can be detected.

Human minds may postulate or hypothesis this or that particle or interpretation of QM, but our hypothesis and postulations are not established facts.

God is postulated and believed in on the basis of faith, not physical properties that we can detect.

So what we have is people speaking on behalf of the God they believe in, not something that can be detected, examined or tested.

God, if such a thing exists, does not reveal Its existence or communicate with us openly and directly.

So we are left with what people believe and what they tell us about God.

Directly and openly from God, nothing.
