I often hear skeptics say what you've stated, that we cannot find peer-reviewed citations proving metaphysical things. Do you have peer-reviewed citations disproving metaphysics? Disproving God? You do not.
What evidence can there possibly be for things that do not exist?
Think about that for a minute...
How would you propose someone conduct an experiment to disprove a thing that has never been quantified or validated?
All we can do is take the claims of something metaphysical and test them against some variables to see if they hold up. Likewise, in order to verify the metaphysical, all you have to do is test a few claims against some constants and variables and see if they hold up. The fact that there is not a single metaphysical claim that has ever been proven to be worth it's weight in toilet paper says everything you should need to know about metaphysical claims.
Pick one - Anything metaphysical that you want, we'll break it down to see if it's worth a damn.
You and I cannot prove that there is
not an invisible space wizard living in our backyards right now. There's no evidence for it, admittedly. But we still can't DISprove it, right?
Does that mean that faith, or belief, or even going so far as talking to the Invisible Space Wizard is something that you suggest we do? Is that a logical or sensical thing for us to do?
