How can one investigate God?

Prayer

What practical use is there of a claim that isn't testable?

Salvation

Who in their right mind would be convinced by a claim that isn't testable?

Millions

You claim that God is capable of being investigated by science; tell us how or move along.

It's not provable between people who don't believe, but each person, scientist or not, has the opportunity to investigate this personally. It is between him/her and God. Ask God earnestly for an answer. It may take time, but answers are there.

'What practical use is there of a claim that isn't testable?' (me)

"Salvation" (you)

What if you are believing the wrong untestable claim? Odin may not be very forgiving then.

"It's not provable between people who don't believe, but each person, scientist or not, has the opportunity to investigate this personally. It is between him/her and God. Ask God earnestly for an answer. It may take time, but answers are there."

Do you at least agree that the existence of God is not a scientific question, that it is a theological question that will not yield meaningful results with the limited tools of scientific inquiry? That is the crux of my position here.
