You are correct. I have never had a personal revelation from God.

Neither have you.

How would you know someone has not had a similar experience to you but interpreted it and defined it differently? How would you know if someone has not had a similar experience to you and defined it the same for some time, but later decided they interpreted it incorrectly? This still does not address the problem of your ignorance of these dating methods, which means you don't know enough about them to know what flaws they really have and how they will affect or be controlled by those who use them.

There are two possibility.

1. You are a mind-reader, and Your last object was GR33N, through Internet access.
2. There is nobody who had personal revelation from God.
