As for stigmata, I've never been able to bring myself to believe the stories or their point. What is the mechanism? Regardless, I just don't understand the purpose. It's obviously not mass converting people to a certain religion, so if it is divine intervention then the divine being should have been able to anticipate it's lack of reception, no?
I dont entirely understand it either, it serves some purpose and occurs only in the saintly or devout, it is not a matter of a trick of the mind and that's why I mentioned it.
The subatomic theorising is different from the interior or religion in the mind theorising which I believed you were talking about, I have encountered something like it in theories that humankind is the cosmos itself becoming conscious and as a result there is a possibility that because mankind exists, all other things, time etc. are possible.
I'm a little uncomfortable with that theory because it is one of many which have man at its heart or centre rather than God, putting man at the centre just doesnt make sense to me, gravitation for instance exists whether man believes in it or has conceptualised it or not, so does an orderly universe which I believe is a pale reflection of the deity itself.
