You misunderstood me. I refer to those who state something and will then refuse to even give consideration to a different point of view - It is pure closed-mindedness.

Again, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean against individuals, but the concept of AP and likewise things.

So, because something doesn't fit into your perception of what's 'normal', you label it as childish? ''What a great mindset to have.''

Maybe so, but consider how these explanations are coming from those who have not experienced it themselves?

That is a fair point, but what if there is no physical evidence that can be provided? After all, it is supposedly a non-physical experience. I neither believe nor disbelieve in AP and such things, purely because I haven't experienced it myself. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist though. It just means I haven't experienced it, and I shall keep an open mind until I encounter such an experience (if I ever do).
