It "indicates" that it would be related to a deity. If that were true, it would also mean that science is not the creation of our universe. It is "in my opinion" given that all of the theories of deities in our culture, that this would be a reasonable assumption.
If you had evidence of that stuff you could win a Nobel Prize and go down in history as one of the greatest people ever, responsible for saving countless souls. May I ask why you're not doing any of that stuff? Given the insanely high stakes for other people, it's downright selfish of you not to share your evidence, if you have it.
"In my opinion" and "my findings" imply that when I say "evidence", it means that I deem it as evidence for myself. Do I have "evidence" by your terms, no... But I deem it as true based on the countless testimonies (of athiests as well), cults, and historical accounts to name a few. If you have not done sufficient research on this topic, you are the one that is fooled, not me.
That's not evidence, then.
It sounds like you have not done much research into anything, actually. If you are really interested in why there is a great deal of testimonies of spiritual encounters, then study a bit of neurobiology. Or just google sleep paralysis, as one example of how a naturally occurring human condition can lead a person to feel they are having a supernatural experience. And if people can feel like they are having a supernatural experience when they aren't, then think it through. If the ONLY evidence we have is the testimony of people, then why would you accept a supernatural explanation when there exists a natural one?
Also, I beg you, please watch this video.
You seem like a nice enough kid, but people can be cruel when you are so extremely niave. It will help if you actually spend some time educating yourself on issues, don't just believe something because someone said so. Scientists don't, they test and retests other scientists ideas. To be truly skeptical, as you claim, you need to actually apply your skepticism correctly.
Good luck in life kid, I mean that truly.
