Yes, I'm not denying that.
I'm not saying they are wrong either.
I'm saying everything you experience happens for a chemical reason. If they can not explain a certain effect, that means there is something they have not figured out yet. Maybe it's that they haven't looked specifically enough, or done the right tests, but the reason I said a rem scan doesn't say much is because it is much too general to figure out where a specific thing originated from.

We've got to get over this idea of lumping things in to a pile, naming that pile, and just saying "it's already figured out" if we want to be able to understand how things work the way they work, and why. It's such a tragedy that we so often put things aside and stop thinking about them because they are "figured out", that we start closing ourselves off to possibilities without considering them because we think we know everything about them, and don't need to revisit them because an explanation has already been given.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
