Re claim 2, I claim that it has an effect on my experience: Though I was at one time an atheist, I experienced what I can only describe as the presence of God or the divine spirit. I am far from the only witness. Does this count as an obse

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are

That's just a reformulation of Laplace's Demon, which repudiated long ago.

So if you believed I punched you deliberately, but also believed no action of yours would keep me from punching you again, does that mean you would do nothing? Even if I called you a coward?
