Just seems like the skeptics really have nothing substantial to offer to explain these trips people take.
Nothing substantial is really needed to counteract what isn't substantially supported, is it?

And for pete's sake, stop with the whining already; it's unseemly. You were the one who appealed to science- sorry, but you don't get to change its terms and necessities when you suddenly find the real thing doesn't work for you. That is disrespectful of the thing you once wanted, kind of like deciding after a divorce that your ex was always really just a terrible human being anyway. Get over it already; acknowledge your woo as woo, believe it if you want, and move on.
