Because something cannot be disproved doesn't mean it's true. To live a life daily accordingly thereafter based on something neither here nor there causes social dissonance and strife - Houdini tried and died and despite subjective claims it was never proven. Alien intelligent life may exist on other planets [closest being 4 light years away] Not practical to live life based on a belief that cannot be proven. There are enough proven beliefs to keep humans busy - Faith is trust and hope combined. nothing else

Best thing I've heard about the Dalai Lama is his doxastic openness.
