Otherwise, for you to just assume it's gibberish is to conform to the intellect of scientists that you do not even know personally... which I abhor.
Nonsense can be dismissed as such, even without firsthand experience. I abhor when people assert that nonsense must be taken seriously.

I consider this not only immature but unfavorable to the cause of searching and finding if there truly is no God. So until each and every one of you can testify from your own mouths that it is gibberish from your own practicing, I will assume that you are denying a higher being's language/aura/communication that you do not understand.
I can take one look at a person and automatically tell what their happiest memory is by reading their mind. Until you have personally experienced that I cannot, I will consider your dismissal of my powers immature and assume that you are simply denying a power you do not understand.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
