> because god is not within our realm of existence,
Hence, why I asked how to measure multiple realms of existence.
> Nope
Then how do you explain this:
> None of these people require actual evidence to support their beliefs, only theory.
?
That looks like the conflation of theory and hypothesis to me. Theories have evidence, and have been tested.
Unfortunately, this means I'm gonna have to end the conversation, cos it's early morning, and I need to head to Church in 6 hours. Have a good morning/night/whatever.
God, by definition, is supernatural, and would therefore exist outside our reality, in a "realm" that cannot be experienced from within our reality. So maybe there's another realm, maybe not, I don't know. That's the whole point though: no one can know about anything that is not within our realm of existence, including whether or not there are other realms outside/separate from our own.

Call it whatever you want. They are both examples of people who believe without evidence, and thus depend on faith.

Some theories, yes, others, no.

Ok. Well, this was fun while it lasted.
I need to head to Church in 6 hours
Have fun with that. For the record, I have nothing against anyone who practices religion, except for Jews, muslims, and satanists, because their religions promote immorality. I don't practice religion though, because I don't have faith, because I require evidence to support belief. And no, I don't think that morality requires religion or faith.
