We can know God exists through "empiricism". If we go back into the original hebrew language, we find something of interest. The entire language is based on the five senses. The hebrew language is what is called a "concrete langauge". The name implies that it is built on absolutes rather than relatives. That being the case, it is the perfect langauge to describe the nature of God both by what we can and what we can experience through our senses.

The skeptic is like the language he speaks. Considering this is America and most people in this land speak English, we find that they prefer the experience God in an abstract manner. They talk about things that cannot be experienced through the five senses. And because these are ideas that cannot be readily proved in any manner, they will always be relative. In any language that possesses relative thoughts and laws, you tend not to see the Living God and the skeptic feels liberated to some degree in his language because he feels like he is in a realm where God cannot reach him. This is his safety zone. Because language in this sense is relative, he can wiggle himself out of any situation that proves without a shadow of a doubt that there is a Living God, that he is a sinner and he will rightly go to Hell if he does not accept the gift of life found in Christ Jesus.

No, the skeptic has never relied on empiricism to refute God, for he knows that empiricism does the opposite. The skeptic hides behind langauge to hide his true doubts and fears of the inevitable.
