"Figure it out" follows a tradition of secular instead of religious enquiry that goes back at least as far as Thales, was kept alive by the recovery of old texts at the dawn of the renaissance, and finally became general at the enlightenment. Science ─ in your example how birds, bees, bats, seeds, spiders, fly ─ gives no support for your claim that
"We are all Spiritual beings in our true natures. Our physical bodies are no more than our transportation in this physical world. The physical body is not doing the thinking and feeling. I have direct experience to this."
Science works by empiricism and induction, and thus has concluded from examinable evidence that your physical brain, integrated with your body, is the source of your "thinking and feeling". This is evident even at a naive level ─ interference with brain function through trauma, drugs, disease, genetics, inoxia, dehydration, age and so on is interference with thinking and feeling.
At more advanced levels, brain research, going back to the 18th century but only gaining real traction with the tools that became available at the end of the 20th, is developing maps of brain function, and descriptions of how brains in fact work. If you're seriously interested in what thinking and feeling are about, you might like to look into what we know about brains, as well as what we know about how birds fly.
So, you say, you have no test for truth? It's a feeling, not a statement connected with reality?
On all the evidence available to me, God exists only as a concept or thing imagined in an individual brain. No other hypothesis fits the data.
If you say God has objective existence, is an entity found in nature, the world external to the self, just show me a photo or video. That will at least have the potential to be persuasive.

My Answer: You choose to be blind to so much. Science started dipping that toe in quantum physics. Suddenly, those possibilities have really increased. God is hiding nothing. Widen that view. Clearly there is more to see. Why must you wait for others to see first?

My Answer: Have you ever known a person who had a stroke? I have heard it so many times. They tell me they are saying it but it just doesn't come out. If something goes wrong with your car, it doesn't work right. If something goes wrong with your brain, just like the car, it doesn't come out right.
Science deals only with the physical world along with the physical laws of this universe. Science chooses to be blind to all else. On the other hand, there will come a time when things other than this physical world will not be able to be ignored.

My Answer: Is that really what I said? You do not understand. Let me try again.
In God's system, no one tells you what Truth is. No one tells you what to choose. No one tells you what to believe. No one tells you how to value things. Each person must Discover for themselves what the best choices are. Each person must Discover what the Truth really is. I can point, however it has never been up to me.
Further, unlike religions, I do not want anyone to Believe. I point to where one can Discover these things for themselves. The base that I will not go below is Math, everything must add up perfectly. Math prevents one from wandering into the believing and feeling realm.

My Answer: Must everything fit into your box of the physical world? Do you even know why this physical world exists? Do you even know that you are a Spiritual being in your true nature?
Find a quiet, dark, comfortable room away from any distractions. Close your eyes and focus inward. Say to yourself: It's me.
That is who you really are. If you are still have trouble seeing, seek out the very youngest of children. Many can still tell the difference. Find the very youngest because this physical world supplies so much sensory input that it isn't long before one is seduced into thinking this physical world is all there is.
This physical world exists because it's time-based causal nature is perfect for learning. Make your choices ; experience the results, in time, when those choices return to you.
We are Spiritual beings placed in a physical body because it confines us to the physical laws of this universe. Would a Being capable of creating all this really confine Himself?? Give me a break here. Stretch that IQ.
Life is the education of God's children. It has never ever been about believing or following. God is not going to intimidate those choices. On the other hand, when one reaches a high enough level of understanding, a visit from God would not be intimidating and would confirm what you have Discover. God knows who is ready. If one is not ready, one would only be confused by the experience. We are mere ants.
Religion and society have corrupted people's thinking into nothing but believing and accepting. This single thing prevents so many from doing the work it takes to really Discover the Truth for themselves.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
