But I have a personal experience of encounters with the divine, and so do most people.

As a matter of fact, there are no documented civilizations that don't have the phenomenon of worship and the worship of the divine.

It doesn't mean that all individuals do, but societies in general.

And people often say, so as a science-based, as an evidence-based guy, how do you deal with the existence of God, for example?

And the analogy is there's lots of things that exist that we know exist, that we have personal experience of, but that we have to only look at secondary evidence that they exist.

Besides God, can you give me another example?

Love.

Okay.

And that's why I brought that up.

That's why love.

It's like, how do you know there's love?

I feel it.

I'm experiencing it.

Well, I mean, no, that's not true.

I mean, there's all kinds of things.

I don't know.

No, no, no.

There actually are.

I mean, for example, you'll see oxytocin release.

And so there are some neuropeptides that are associated with the experience of love that people actually have.
