In many thingsd all we can do is experience and maybe measure the effects. but we can not measure or see what it is we are describing.
Heat isn't a perception. If no one could perceive heat, it would still exist if "exchangeable energy through motion" existed. But still, what the O.P. is looking for is something that would differentiate Allah's level of evidence from the other contradicting god-claims.

That sounds like a great idea to me.

The first god to show herself to you must the best one. If no god shows themselves, then either no god exists or none of the gods care enough about you to make the effort.

Cute passive aggressive analogy but wildly inaccurate

Doctors, surgeons can scan my body and confirm that all the parts in my Central Nervous System are in tact. Not the same case with a spiritual entity

So you will believe when you HEAR something from someone, correct?

Or see it from someone else, or can see a picture of it. I could have a surgeon cut open part of my scalp and be able to see it. I could have open heart surgery done and see my heart beating. All of that is verifiable and I can see it.

Can you see a thought or idea? True you you see the effects of them, but there is nothing you can point to and say is a thought.

Yes, actually they have medical equipment that can show this.

Further, I am fully aware of my thoughts as I experience them first hand. We even share our thoughts with others and come up with brilliant inventions. Look around your room and dare tell yourself that all this was created without thought. Geez. We see the result of brain damage where the person can no longer have thoughts.

There is nothing supernatural about our ability to think. We experience our thoughts all the time. I am now sharing my thoughts via computers that people created by thinking. But over and over you post without thought for what you are saying.

But then you have never seen a pic of your great great grand father - no one who is alive in your family has not seen him either - no one claims that he has seen him - so u should not believe to have a great great grand father if you apply your new logic as posted above, agree ?
