I think you misunderstood me.... My position is: Most people don't claim to have seen gods, and gods aren't real. A small percentage of people do have these experiences, but these people are either frauds, hallucinating, or otherwise mistaken.
I don't see why you think the situation is either [everyone is hallucinating] or [gods are real]." It seems clear to me that [most people aren't hallucinating] and [gods aren't real.] Are you under the impression that most people are having direct experiences of gods or other supernatural apparitions?
So how do you explain things like this?
Same as with Bigfoot/Loch Ness Monster. People (especially children) are highly suggestible, hallucinations and optical illusions occur, hoaxes occur. People lie to fit in. These are things that are already known to be true.
Well the miracle of the sun was witnessed by 30,000 to 100,000 people.
How many people witnessed this?
