What people in science are saying is...show me the evidence. Where is the evidence of a non-physical world? Scientists are theoretically not close-minded about it. They just want you to prove what you say.
It's like saying you can fly. OK, show me. Then you say, "Oh, I don't want to show you, just have faith."
>Institutions of higher education such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton where formed by people who understood that there existed both a physical an non-physical reality and they wanted to educate everyone to have a deeper understanding of both.
Harvard University was formed in 1636, when the could still burn you at the stake for being a witch. Or at least "tsk" you real hard. So there's that.
They had zero idea about what we now know today. It's hardly comparable.
Listing of scientists who think as you do is not meaningful in the slightest. I can give you a long list of those who think the other way.
>You are free to close your mind. Perhaps one could argue that closed minded people fill a different need in our societies, but I wouldn't.
This just speaks volumes of your bias. Why used "close minded"? Are you close-minded about there NOT being a non-physical world? If so, then YOU are the one that is close minded, right? It's the inverse of what you say.
And furthermore, a non-physical world has to be impossible. This "non-physical" world still has to have something. If beings are there, then there has to be SOME kind of order, SOME kind of organized energy. Otherwise, how would it work if it is just chaos and there is no order? What is this non-physical stuff that has to be organized? Pure energy? That still has to be organized in some kind of way. If this is so, then there's no such thing as non physical. If there's something there, then there's something there. The best you can hope for is to say that we cannot measure it, but just because it can't be measured by us, does not mean it is non-physical. We can't see quarks or quantum wave fluctuations at all, so because we cannot see them with our eyes, does that mean they are not there? Our instrumentation does not allow us to measure planck time, either. Does that mean we know nothing about it and it is non-physical world? And why would the non-physical world be able to interact with the physical world, as apparantly happens with demons and gods and angels and et cetera, but the physical cannot interact with the non-physical, other than you saying it with no proof? And, if the non-physical interacts with the physical, then the non-physical has to interact with the physical and we could measure the non-physical indirectly, the same way that we measure quarks and shit. So therefore it is ultimately physical, or at least some kind of measurable entity, which we can then manipulate. The only way you can deny this is if you start making stuff up, saying, "Yeah, but the non-physical knows how to not be measured." Oh? What bible verse say that explicitly? And if that is your comeback, then hypothetically, if we were to somehow measure and control every single atom in the world, then at no time would a non-physical entity be able to interact with us as we would know.
