But the point is there are real, known explanations for much of what you're talking about and solid evidence of theoretical explanations for the rest. Like my 9 year old knows the answers to some of the questions you seem astonished by because he watched a 10 minute YouTube lecture on the known scientific explanation. You don't need any of this hooky nonsense.
We have EXTREMELY strong evidence for how the Egyptians built the pyramids. We KNOW how the Chinese built the Great Wall. We KNOW those "spaceships" from Egyptian hieroglyphics aren't spaceships. It's so bizarre to me that adults pretend we don't have a good or absolute understanding of many of the things.
I might get myself in trouble on this one. . . but, whatevs.
There is a lot that is known and understood about how the universe developed, how stars are formed, how planets form, and how life and complexity evolved, but that doesn't stop a lot of people from thinking there is an inaccessible supernatural force driving all of this.
We also know that people weren't poofed into existence, virgins don't become pregnant, people don't rise from the dead, and wine does not become blood when you speak some words.
Rather than defending Leonard's position (which I think is not at all supported), I wish to point out that humans are exceptionally gifted at taking 'extreme strong evidence' and using it to justify anything and everything.
Religion seems less absurd because we all grew up in a world where just about everyone believed in some version of it. If you could find a person born and raised 'under a rock' and educated but with zero knowledge of aliens or religion, then I'm not so sure that remote viewing and resurrections would be all that different to that person.
