In all my time in the Backroom, I don't know if I have ever seen words as wise as that. If everybody in the world did it that way, think of all the pain that would be avoided...

God appearing meant he is physical and you should be able to whip out your camera or camcorder to record the phenomenon.

Metaphysical God ----> Physical universe ---> can be detected Physical Human being (yes, according to religion).

Metaphysical God ----> Physical universe---> cannot be detected by Physical Science. (no,

according to the same religion).

If you are going to say God is sending messages to Physical Human Beings then you can't exclude Physical Science out of it. Because both use the exact, same Physical Universe!

There may be a coexistance of physics and methaphysics. Human beings could be both, part of them is physical part of them is mp. Your soul, for example. Then God could communicate with your mp part.
Another possibility is that physics is just the part of the world that we know. And metaphysics is the part we know + all the rest.

If God communicates with your soul, the same question remains how your soul (something metaphysical) can interact with your brain (physical). If the physical brain is able to sense the metaphysical, artificial devices that can do the same must be possible. Conclusion: if the metaphysical can interact with the physical, it is only another part of the physical.

I think that is right.

If the Soul is physical, then it should have physical properties and it should obey the laws of physics.
