I agree with you. The scientific method is a problem-solving technique, not theology. Science tells us that the universe was created and that it will end. As a matter of common sense, it makes more sense to believe that a divinity created this universe, and for all we know, the infinite number of universes that surround it, than to say it just happened. Also, it's easier to live with the faith that God has a plan for us than to believe life is random and meaningless. Personally, I've had several extraordinary experiences in my life that are hard to attribute to chance. And my life has in no way been extraordinary.

Yes, as for objective experiences, one cannot refute one's own, with God (or sadly, with fallen angels).

All due apologies if you're "cessationist" but I wonder what philosophical naturalists do with even the common occurances of speaking in tongues, especially in cases where one speaks in another specific human language not known by himself. Then there are healings after prayer, etc.... I have witnessed such things, myself.

As a matter of common sense, we ought to say "I don't know" when we don't.
