"Scientific Skepticism": Is there such a thing; and if so, what does it look like?

Yes. Rich did not want the job. Maggie’s providences were like winning five different lotteries in five different states, in the order that she bought the tickets… and she was the only one who bought any tickets.

But I am too well aware that accounts of God’s interventions, even entire sets of discrete independent incidents with the only thing connecting them is the induced or implicit (even explicit) imputed meaning particular to the individual, I am too well aware that they are not compelling (which is bizarre to me) for someone who is not ready to accept them.

The grounds of [true] belief in God is the experience of God*: God is not the conclusion of an argument but the subject of an experience report.

*That experience does not have to be multiple externally objective incidents though, although they are sweet. At least an internal one is, however.
