Do you agree that the only good which is empirically knowable, is the good that exists within your own heart?
Not a argument on theism, projection.

1. My heart pumps blood and has nothing whatever to do with my mental process, beyond keeping my brain alive.
2.Empirical knowledge relates to quantifiable observable objective facts and is not a measure of subjective "good" or the lack thereof.
I can neither agree nor disagree because this question is incomprehensible.

No.
Since your heart is an organ that pumps blood, and does not (and cannot) contain any "good" (or "evil"), your premise is ridiculous on its face.
The ancient, ignorant superstition that the human heart was the seat of knowledge and emotion was proven false a very, very long time ago. It was imagined by ignorant people who didn't know what brains did. You should really stop using it.

"Goodness" cannot be assessed empirically.
Empirical study merely observes objects, and their causal and relational connection to other objects. It doesn't pass moral judgment upon them.
Empirically we can only say what is.....not what ought to be.

No, completely disagree. The heart is deceitfully wicked and desperately sick. The heart is not the standard of righteousness. God is the one and only standard of righteousness and good.
