My point is that you can't impose some sort of external arbitrary standard on knowing the truth of whether the spiritual world exists anymore than you can use a history library to know whether quantum physics is true or not? Why not? But history is science? Quantum physics isn't provable by science!
Of course this is a trick. You can live in a culturally constructed probabilistic guessing game all your life if you want to. Don't pretend that you have the answers though, because you can say, with a North Eastern accept, "We don't know". If you don't know, you don't know. Leave it at that, what can historians say about quantum physics: "We don't know - apart from their work".
At least don't be haughty about it. I have experienced the supernatural for years and years. You don't have to believe me, but don't say that science has disproved it. Science could not disprove the reality of spirits anymore than history could disprove the reality of quantum physics.
