There is a huge amount of mainstream scientific data that supports spiritual beliefs (9),
(All the controversies in the history of science show that the best explanation of the evidence is an opinion. The mere fact that some scientists may disagree does not prove who is right. In this post (below) I am not trying to prove anything scientifically, I am only trying to show that mainstream science provides solid grounds on which to base spiritual beliefs.)
Many Nobel Prize winning scientists and other great scientists believed that science supports spiritual beliefs(1)
Quantum mechanics provides evidence that consciousness is fundamental, that consciousness produces matter and therefore consciousness cannot be produced by matter. Double slit experiments, quantum entanglement, and the quantum Zeno effect support this interpretation (2).
Evidence from cosmology supports the belief that the universe was designed and created(3) (Multiverse theories don't explain this evidence.(4)).
Mainstream chemistry rules out all natural explanations for the origin of life(5).
Mathematics (information theory) also rules out a natural origin of life(6).
In addition to mainstream materialist science there is also the scientific work of psychical research(7) and parapsychology(8) which have provided evidence for the afterlife, and ESP.

Nobel Prize winners Max Planck, Erwin Schrödinger, Brian Josephson, Sir John Eccles, Eugene Wigner, George Wald and other great scientists and philosophers such as John von Neumann, Kurt Gödel, Wernher von Braun, Karl Popper, and Carl Jung believed consciousness is non-physical because of the evidence:

Many scientists believed the evidence that the universe was designed. These scientists include Nobel prize winners such as Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Guglielmo Marconi, Brian Josephson, William Phillips, Richard Smalley, Arno Penzias, Charles Townes, Arthur Compton, Antony Hewish, Christian Anfinsen, Walter Kohn, Arthur Schawlow, and other scientists,
Charles Darwin, Sir Fred Hoyle, John von Neumann, Wernher von Braun, and Louis Pasteur.

Evidence from cosmology supports the belief that the universe was designed and created.
http://ncu9nc.blogspot.com/p/articl...by-subject.html#articles_by_subject_cosmology
The Cosmological Argument for a Transcendent Designer of the Universe. The discovery that the universe is expanding, the discovery that the universe came from nothing, and the discovery that natural laws are finely tuned to make life possible, all demonstrate that the universe was created and designed by an intelligence outside the universe. The evidence for intelligent design in the origin and evolution of life shows that the designer continued to play a role in the universe long after its creation.

4) Multiverse theories don't explain this evidence.

Opposing the multiverse by George Ellis. "Martin Gardner (2003) puts it this way: 'There is not the slightest shred of reliable evidence that there is any universe other than the one we are in. No multiverse theory has so far provided a prediction that can be tested. As far as we can tell, universes are not as plentiful as even two blackberries.'"

The multiverse argument for the existence of paranormal phenomena.Proposing a multiverse does not help the materialist cause, it hurts it. If there are enough universes to explain the existence of our "improbable" universe as the result of chance, then there should be enough universes for one to exist with a
God,
spirits,
Sasquatch,
intelligent designer(s),
UFOs, alien abductions,
psi, etc, etc.
