your metaphor is good..but it IS a metaphor. Presumably, every person could be shown the different views at different magnifications, and thus see exactly what the others saw. This can even be photographed and shown to others who didn't get to look thru the microscope. This is really not possible with paranormal phenomena...whether religious, psychic, or otherwise

You actually have no way of knowing this for sure. All you can know at this point is that no-one has yet done this to your satisfaction. A certain amount of belief or faith is required your part to make the above statement.
