I think the Kantian realization that the world is dependent on our senses causes us to to doubt that we can contain the world in language or our thoughts. Science has not disproved the existence of other dimensions.
Why would people be unwilling to acknowledge the possibility that spiritual entities exist? I talk to them every day and they talk back to me, using English words and language. I am sure this is real and most societies have had some sort of concept of this. Why would people be unwilling to acknowledge there could be other life besides human life?
First of all, define non-physical entity, properly. I have the suspicion that it's a nonsense term to begin with...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
