Hmmm.
I was hoping to find a way to talk to them, and ask them what 'evidence' meant to them.
Do you think it's at all possible? Any suggestions on how I should approach it?
Short of a lightening bolt? No, I don't think it's possible. It took a 2x4 (in the form of those skulls) to get me thinking. Before that, my faith in the supernatural was absolute. I asked for Divine intervention to keep my mind focused on the straight and narrow path, so that all distractions (including evidence) would be mere whispers.
That is the mindset. My dad had the whole church praying that I wouldn't be contaminated by science.
