We tend to ignore viable explanations if they don't match our preconceived notions, and it's not just you but even the best scientific minds on this planet are susceptible to this, and that's why the need of peer review or getting others to fact-check your ideas exist. Saying someone won't believe your idea just because they are closed minded doesn't validate your idea rather it shows a lack of proper evidence on your part.

Also regarding your argument, let's say i make some assertions like
The blue sky and oceans are proof of Krishna. Thunder and lightning are irrefutable evidence for Indra, but you won't believe this evidence because you are a non-believer in Hinduism.

Do you think just because I made these assertions, Hinduism has been proved?

Peer reviews of one's conclusions is a correct thing Magi; but even the jury that might produce these studies is not quite "unbiased".
Eventually it comes to you and listening to your inner voice.

The more you become honest with yourself, and study the case right; the more you take the proper choice.
Nobody should pick for you.

It's never about "Them", but it's about

It's always about our personal choices, we are the own masters of our own universes; or let's say life? we will never convince all people, people will always be biased on way or another. Except for the ones listening to the right voice. I personally think I'm listening right. Either I lose or win.

Yes, the jury is not unbiased but such a collective opinion is often a lot better than one single individual's, as it decreases the chance of being wrong. In a court of law, a jury only becomes essential when the proofs and evidences are not sufficient enough to reach a verdict, and that does indeed indicate a failure on the part of those presenting the evidence rather than the judge.

You might believe the voice you are hearing is the right one, and that might be the case. I am not saying you can objectively determine if you are right or wrong in every scenario, but being a skeptic and exploring alternate explanations for your experiences helps you get the closest to the truth as is possible for you. If you choose to solely rely on your own interpretations and beliefs while disregarding reality, what sets you apart from any other delusional person?
