Most of us don’t believe this is a possibility. The possibility of such a thing must be demonstrated. And it has not yet been.
“Isn't your statement that feelings and experiences can get you to God no matter where you live proof of God's existence right there?”
Feelings and experiences can get a person to any deity that they are predisposed to believe in. There are people who claim to have personal experiences with Baast the cat goddess. There are people who claim to have personal experiences of Hanuman the monkey god. And there are people who claim to have personal experiences with inter dimensional space travelers. There is no way to tell whose experiences are valid, if any are. It is far more likely they are all mistaken. And as we cannot verify the experiences this must be the conclusion.
Religions are often mutually exclusive, so saying each contains a nugget of truth is ridiculous. Especially when none can be verified in any way.
But how is it possible that we are self aware humans with brains and love for each other etc, if there is nothing else like us anywhere in billions of galaxies and maybe multiple universes?
Why would we be unique and more importantly how would we be unique in those ways? Why would we be able to even have any experiences, if there were not some enabler of those experiences?
