Ultimately, we would approach a posited explanation the same way something like, say, the theory of relativity was approached. Let’s treat it as though it were true and look at what follows; the fruit proves out what you are calling the tree.

Any scientific theory is subject to being falsified by testing. Are you prepared to submit your metaphysics to testing, and admit that it's wrong if the evidence doesn't support it?

Well, I would be bold enough to say that if people test dipping into the devil vs. dipping into God, per a classic scriptural model, they’ll see a difference.

I’m saying the “why” question is more important than the “what” question, and that it gives place to the “what” question. If you are stuck in the “what” question then you are saying the “why” question is unimportant. And that is in fact what the scripture says is the devil’s game....

And please realize that one kind of falsification is the falsification of your own nature. If a science calls you a robot, are you willing to swallow that? If not, then you have falsified that science.
