There can be loads of explanations for your experiences:
- you are delusional when under duress
- you are not entirely truthful in your storytelling
- ...
Even THIS is a simpler and hence better ('Occam's Razor') explanation than an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent creator of all, who sends books to be obeyed once in a while and expects obedience as well as love from human beings:
- you have a time travelling descendant who protects you by interfering when you are in trouble

First, I don't expect you to believe me. I wouldn't believe someone else if they told me.

Hearsay is never proof of the existence of God. If it were, you are indeed not the only one who claims to have had experiences that suggest God exists.


I don't think he said his paranormal experiences convince him of the existence of a higher being. He just said he has had some experiences that defy logic/physics/etc. It doesn't imply anything about religious belief.
