Experiments under controlled conditions yield fairly undeniable results. Theories such as evolution and the Big Bang draw conclusions by looking at circumstantial data.

Why is that accepted as valid for scientific theories (that have yet to be proven), and not for people's experience of God (also not proven, but some of us find a great deal of circumstantial evidence as well)?

Big Bang theory and evolution fail the critical thinking test just as much as theological theories do.
