The problem with evidence.

I’ve been pondering the existence of a God a lot recently but more in the abstract thought of a creative force rather than how religion sometimes explains it.

I often think if a “God” exists then this force must exist outside our physical dimensions and this force must also exist outside of the laws that govern our physical realm, as this force created it all.

How we can test for something that’s beyond what we can possibly conceive of ? Beyond the limitations of our four dimensional space? Beyond our own imagination even ?For example outside the

constraints of time? (even time is an abstract yet how do we measure beyond it or without it?)

If we can’t devise tests or experiments for this level of existence doesn’t “evidence ” become a moot point? The evidence could be all around us but we just don’t know it yet !

Love for example can't be measured or quantified, it's just a feeling right? Yet it exists and is a powerful force....imagine a world without it.

I also watch a few detective shows and often hear the quote “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”? which I think can be applied here.

What do you think ?

I would say I believe in a creative force, a “first cause” as it were.... as the physical realm has to have a point of origin. It begs the question though, whether that “first cause ” has a personality or a purpose....in which case that would be God.... but I’m not sure how we would know that or if we can.

Finally, I watched sci-fi show the other day where a scientist said “spirituality is just science we haven’t understood yet. ” Do you think there’s truth in that statement ?
