Yes. What about love, hate, sadness, happiness, etc.
Past that, theoretical physicists work almost exclusively without the benefit of their 5 senses. Einstein predicted relativety without being able to experience it with any of his 5 senses.

Yes. We can learn about something we can not identify with our 5 senses by seeing the effects it has on other things.
We did not see either black holes or dark matter till long after we knew they existed because of the effects they have on other things like light vanishing into a hole or something in the void between pieces of matter.
We can know about God and other spirit creatures by their effect on what we can tell using our senses.

Yes it is possible to know something purely from mental analysis, logic and theory.
Then it is good if the theory can be proven by physical means, but then this is not always possible at the time.
Many of Einstein's theories were not proven until many years later.

It's hard - isn't it?
I think that God is LOVE. It's the Power of Love that works through us. I can see love when someone smiles at me. Feel it when I get a hug. Hear it when kind words are spoken. That's good enough for me. I know about Love - so I know about God.
But yes - it is hard to believe in God when one thinks of It as a big Daddy in the Sky. That's why I don't see it that way.
Namaste!!

no, thats called faith in something
cause the feeling your describing is just that, a feeling
its a non-tangible sense that is very hard to prove or disprove
so any knowledge gained that way isnt the most credible evidence

Yes. It's called word of knowledge in I Cor 12:8. I've seen it operated many times, and I've operated in it a few times myself.

human do have a pre-cognitive sence...it's a part of our instinct to survive....without it many would not . It is also true that some of us can develop these sences to accute levels...the U.S. governtment has studied this for quite sometime...take Edgar Cayce for example...look him up if you haven't already.

You may be able to intuit information, but it is only a belief until you can rationally justify it. Then it can be called knowledge.
