AquaEyes I appreciate your skepticism, science is a wonderful thing. How ever things are not nearly as cut and dry as your clever posts project. For instance, a scenario:
You and a friend are standing in a lush garden and it's a warm summer afternoon. Your friend suddenly shrieks and points to a patch of green. "Oh look at the monster! I've never seen something so disgusting!" You look and look, but can't see anything. Clearly, your friend is hallucinating. Now, as I have the powers of a narrator, I make you red/green color blind like your friend and the tomato hornworm stands out in all it's foliage destroying glory.
There are a lot of things about the human mind and body that science barely understands. Maybe one day you can smugly say for certain believers are childishly hallucinating while grander things happen in the world, and I'll be inclined to agree. After all there are things you can do to a persons sense of safety with old exposed wiring and some darkness, but today is not that day.
