Can't? Where do you come up with this stuff? You commit
the same error over and over again. How can you expect
people to take seriously your drivel? I doubt whether even
you believe what you've just posted.

Faith out of experience: To keep warm I pick up a glowing red
coal and burn the dickens out of my hand. Careful consideration
of the evidence convinces me not to pick up another glowing
red coal because I believe I will get burned again. I now have
faith out of experience. It is real and exactly such a thing as
that which you claim cannot be.

And, there is a story in the Scriptures that tells of a most sinful
man. On a journey of intimidation and slaughter he was suddenly
zapped to the ground by a light from heaven, he then heard an
unseen voice calling him by name. Considering the evidence of
his experience he became a Christian. His name was Saul.

The fact that God has given us the ability to consider our
experiences may also instill faith, our belief in Him...or not.

Can you then explain Luke 9 and 10, in which Jesus sent out
the twelve and seventy to labor, i.e., to preach, to cast out
demons and to heal? They returned with joy telling of their
experiences. He describes their labor as mighty works and that
the workers names are written in Heaven. Jesus also mentions
those who despise these laborers and their works. So, do you
believe Christ was just being silly?

God's call to Isaiah is, "Come now, let us reason together."

And again, from the KJV of Isaiah 52: "...for that which had
not been told them shall they see; and that which they had
not heard shall they consider."
