I think it’s fine to call it faith in sensory experience—I choose to use it as data.
The second is the stronger argument, IMO.
Actually, if the Rev made that argument to religious people, that would be a strong argument in favor of basic empiricism. You only get to God through empiricism.
Though that’s probably a better argument for a Deist than a Methodist.

What else could you ever possibly use as data?
Things you imagine. Things you reasoned “a priori”.
