We all evaluate different kinds of evidence when it comes to forming our beliefs and conclusions. Some of these types of evidence include:
- Intuition evidence
- Personal experience evidence
- Testimonials
- Appeals to authority
- Personal observations
- Case examples
- Research studies etc.
Would personal experience evidence be enough to alter your spiritual beliefs?
Let’s say hypothetically that you were diagnosed with an incurable terminal illness and after years of suffering you end up meeting a spiritual healer. He tells you that God will heal you if you follow the healing regimen you are presented with. So as a last resort you do the spiritual healing process and it works. Would this be enough evidence to make you re-evaluate your beliefs about God's existence? Would it be enough to alter them?
How much do you trust your personal experience evidence? Which type of evidence do you trust most?
