I never said nor claimed I saw a figure or a 'god'...vague or otherwise. Conventional science nor religion have the answers for everything. And accreditation just means that the credits earned are transferable to another school...it has no bearing on whether or not a school is legit. Just because Metaphysics isn't accepted by the main stream science community doesn't mean it's any less of a science either. As I recall, at one time the only "science" that was acceptable was whatever the Church said was acceptable....which included the world being flat and being the center of the universe. It was imagination that got intelligent folks thinking and brought about what you would term the "real" science of today. My point is that if you accept ANY part of any religious text concerning anything about the spiritual realm and otherwise, that can not be measured in a test tube, then you have to accept that there are things that not even conventional science can explain. Which means a more "unconventional" approach and form of science is needed.
In my experience people who do their damnedest to deny the existence of anything outside of the basic "norm"...do so out of fear. Fear that everything that they do not want to believe in is real and thus makes the world much more scary and uncontrollable place to live in. Just because one may have not experienced any extraordinary and unexplainable events in their life does not mean those who have are silly or overly imaginative.
