                      1. Or you show that the experience was not caused by God
                    2. Principle of Testimony
                      1. Unless we have positive evidence that they are misremembering or are untrustworthy, we should believe the testimony of the experience
                        1. 'Other things being equal, we usually think that what others tell us that they perceived probably happened'
