If we live in a purely material world then how do we account for the many supernatural experiences that people have, such as encounters with God, ghosts, spirits, etc (obviously, exactly what all of these encounters actually are are all interpreted by different people in different ways but the fact remains that people encounter things that do not fit a purely naturalistic world view). Are we really to conclude that all of these people are delusional, deceptive, or mad? Or could it be that people are having real encounters with real supernatural beings not explainable through purely scientific mediums?
If you just say that the people are crazy or deluded, is that really fair since you're not actually them and you don't knwo what they are experiencing? Just because you have never experienced it doesn't mean it's not true. I've never been to China but I don't claim that China doesn't exist.
