We test spiritual concepts out, Bill, by actually trying them...but it's far easier to just talk about them of course! ;-) Go to church and you'll hear a whole lot of talk. If it's a really great church with great leadership, you might find opportunities to try out the concepts presented. They mostly concern subtleties of inner thought and interpersonal relating to others...(the Golden Rule).

I'm not asking you to believe in anything. I figure if you're like most people you already believe in enough useless crap to fill a giant Walmart anyway. Why make it worse by adding more?

I can't "rate" the ultimate 'value' of a woman or a sunny day either, except in so far as they satisfy me...and that's just MY interpretation.

I use science for what it's good for, and spirituality for what it's good for. I try not to beat eggs with a sledge hammer or light a fire with a fishhook, if you know what I'm saying. They're all useful in their proper place.
