It wasn't a dream, she asked my sister what they were talking about right before she left the room and it matched what she saw and heard. She even forgot about it and didn't tell my dad till late the next day, she should have been scared if she had just imagined it, but she says the peace of God was under her. I SWEAR she's not making this up, she seems so genuine when she says it and she NEVER lies.
And many millions of people have claimed to have been abducted by aliens.
ARe they all lying? Is it really happening? Or did some people claim it happened to them, others read it, including the details, and then have vivid dreams that seem real?

Billions don't believe in Odin. Do you guys really think over 2 Billion people are just delusional?
That is a fallacy known as argument from popularity. Just because something is believed in by the majority, doesn't make it any more likely to be true.
Remember, at one time the majority of humanity believed in a flat earth.
There are 1.5 billion Muslims. Does that make Islam 75% as correct as Christianity? When Islam becomes the biggest religion on the planet, will that make it the true one?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Billions don't believe in Odin. Do you guys really think over 2 Billion people are just delusional? Plus all the other religions?
You don't determine truth by counting heads. Don't you understand that? Anyway. . .
Who said anything about 2 billion people being delusional? They could just be wrong. After all, there are myriad ways to reach an opinion about something that have nothing to do with good evidence or rational thought.
And what about those other religions? According to your faith, those people are just as fucked as we are. Are they delusional, evil, what?

The very few who claim to see spirits and hear voices have been found to always have some underlying neurological reason for it... Or were never diagnosed...

The vast majority of people in the world are of Asian descent. That must mean being Asian is correct and being of European stock, like myself, must be wrong.

Then your dad is wrong.
Islam believe in their version of the Abrahamic god - a variant of your god, in fact.

I'm sure your dad means well... but try not to use him as a source of information about reality.
Go to the other wiki and follow through all the sciences.
