they were told it by guides or counselors, non-physical beings.....
Without objective evidence for the existence of non physical beings the default position is that they do not exist.
Burdon of proof remains on the claimants.

Little irrational voices in the back of their heads.
I refuse to discuss anything with a biscuit.....
A list of 8 plausible explanations means they have at least 8 plausible explanations.those are what skeptics and scientists say when they have no explanations...
As has been pointed out, you're the one claiming that there is a supernatural explanation for something that can easily be explained without recourse to the supernatural, so you're the one who needs to produce some evidence.evidence?

sorry for accepting a non-science explanation....I am not a fundamentalist science fan and do not worship at the altar of ''I am a scientist and know what is real and what is not real".......

That's not the point.
The point is you don't even consider a prosaic explanation.
Oh, and the whole "worship at the altar" thing? That's you, not us. We don't do belief here. People here try not to believe anything, from anyone, unless there is supporting evidence. If top scientists say something, the proper sceptic will look for the supporting evidence rather than automatically accepting what the scientist said.
Ummmmm all of those are explanations.....![]()
no evidence of that at all....next...

yes....they will delay acceptance of the scientists' statement...you certainly do have beliefs...fundamentalist science beliefs and will reject anything that doesn't fit into those beliefs...as all of you are showing....
You want evidence that those are explanations?![]()
