I don't know who you are addressing, or which conclusions you are referring to. Rest assured that scientists will agree 100% with the OP.
It's important for those who are living with the most fear to catagorize and label, which is what science does for them. This is the attraction. The fear of the unknown decreases so long as it becomes "explainable", even if the explanation isn't adequate or true.
The thing is, it really doesn't matter if anyone believes anything, really. "Believer" or Non-believer", these are comforting terms. Perhaps "Experiencer" might be a better term, if terms comfort the "skeptics" so much.
All of us have experienced thinking about someone we haven't talked to in a long time, and the next moment they call or show up on our door step, or at the grocery store we run in to them. This happens to everybody. I've not spoken to a single person who has not had this happen. The odds of this happening to all people, or even 50 % of the people on the globe are infinitely unlikely, however, it is so. Does this fact of life require "belief" in order for "skeptic" and "non-skeptic" alike to accept it as a part of the reality each of us exists in and as part of? There may be a scientific theory to "explain" this fact of reality. There may be "religious" explanations as well. But does the reality itself require any explanation? Perhaps to simply experience the reality directly without the dissipation of terms and explanations is the way that the mystics and masters have spoken of when it comes to living truly in the now and at one with all. In this living this way, there is knowing of all things and doubt disappears along with the insane chatterboxing mind for which we are in need of disassociating ourselves as heart centered beings. But don't believe what I say. Listen to YOUR heart. Or listen to the fear driven head. Free will.
