The average IQ of US doctors is only 115. (You may want to debate whether
doctors are proper scientists, but it's the nearest group I have a figure
for.)

And what is your source of this?

It takes intelligence to have a scientific mind. You are not intelligent.
So obviously, you are lying (and not very convincingly) about having a
scientific mind.

You don't have to be particularly intelligent, just have an enquiring
mind, be a little cynical about 'facts', and be willing to learn. Having
a logical approach to things is good, too - it's easier if you start off
with that, and then do the training, than sitting down thinking
chaotically and trying to learn logic.

I have had profound spiritual experiences, and there are things in my
life
which would be too much of a coincidence to occur without divine
intervention. Still, I tend to consider the first as psychological
experiences and the second actually coincidences. Faith and other related
phenomena seem to me as purely psychological. However, I need badly that
psychological side of me. I am very spiritual, or try to be. It's all my
rational mind that prevents me from being mystical.

I don't believe that having a good (possibly correct) understanding of the
physical world, necessarily removes the possibility of a non-physical
aspect to life or existence or whatever you choose to call it. Nor do I
believe that an unquestioning belief in the literal truth of every word of
any book, is required for one to have a spiritual or religious faith. Nor
do I believe that belief (or unbelief, which is really the same thing)
proves anything.
