When you go to the Lamborghini dealership, why does the salesperson give you a price so high she knows you can never afford it? Why even set a price if they're going to make it impossible for you to purchase it?What I find more curious is why people ask for these things and then constrain the criteria of what constitutes proof or evidence to something so narrow that they will never receive it. Why even ask the question if you rig the deck to make answering it impossible?
What's the story with people asking for proof and evidence?

I think you missed my point: the price of the Lamborghini has nothing to do with your ability to afford it, and the standard of evidence we need to tell whether something is true has nothing to do with your ability to meet it.Purchasing a Lamborghini is just acquiring ownership of a material possession ~ just like worldly riches . . . Theoretically you could have it all. Real estate,houses,own stocks, have lots of $money$ etc. . . .

more proof your POE
To maintain a false sense of control!Why ask for proof and evidence?
Perhaps those "fingerprints" are nothing more than people's imaginations...Perhaps God's Fingerprint is in Nature all around
The more interesting question is this: Why do some find the request for evidence so inappropriate and uncomfortable?
Who is this we that needs a standard of evidence? For some healing of depression or different infirmities is all that is necessary.Is there a standard that is necessary?I think you missed my point: the price of the Lamborghini has nothing to do with your ability to afford it, and the standard of evidence we need to tell whether something is true has nothing to do with your ability to meet it.
Essentially, you avoided the question thereby (interestingly enough) validating it.Essentially, the burden falls on the person that is being asked to produce the evidence.The more interesting question is this: Why do some find the request for evidence so inappropriate and uncomfortable?
I am sure than no sound person would ever accuse you of needing standards of evidence.Who is this we that needs a standard of evidence?
Is it possible for the burden to fall on the one who finds themself in need of the one they have no faith in?Essentially, the burden falls on the person that is being asked to produce the evidence.

Sure. For starters, a demonstration that whatever healing is happening, it occurs at a greater rate than is expected by random chance, and evidence that the cause you suggest is responsible as opposed to something else.Who is this we that needs a standard of evidence?

What does this even mean?This is why you are saved by faith? The only standard of evidence that is necessary is the one that will take them across the river Jordan from their head to their heart!
It basically means that there is no amount of evidence that will satisfy or convince mans carnal mind of the existance of God.What does this even mean?
You say that as if you think we have a mind other than our "carnal mind"; what would make you think that this is the case?It basically means that there is no amount of evidence that will satisfy or convince mans carnal mind of the existance of God.
Romans 8:7
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
