Pastafarian gets license

FFS Pasta .. you obviously didn't bother reading the bit about how you know nothing about me .. given the ignorant and assumption driven BS you're still posting.

Arrrghhh .. you're still as annoying and immature as ever.

No, just saying anecdotes arent evidence.

So now you're saying that the personal experiences of many people irrespective of age, gender, culture, space and time ought to be totally ignored. In essence, you're saying that we ought to throw out all the collected data on the topic. I understand .. it's "inconvenient" information.

Pretty much, personal experience is flawed and biased.

Personal experience, even if it appears to match that of many other people, isn't considered evidence according to scientific method, because it is brain-based, organic in nature.

We all share the same kind of brain because we evolved as a species (early life forms started some three billion years ago) and are related to all the other species on the planet. Nothing supernatural is happening. These experiences are personal (subjective) and seem like magic, a glimpse into another reality (heaven, paradise, spirit world), when in a natural world there is no such thing.

The human brain is supposedly the most sophisticated biological organ evolved in the known universe, and is capable of amazing things. But there must be objective evidence that something exists outside the human brain (supernatural being in another dimension) and can be scientifically tested.

A good example of this type of phenomena is pariedolia, in explanations of seeing faces in clouds and other objects. Our brain is trained to create order from disorder, so we instantly recognise anything that vaguely resembles a human as a human face. Look at all the smilies on the right hand side.
