The answer lies in the fact that it's attempting to look at it from the scientific point of view. That point of view is just a method of interpreting the world around you into something you can understand and quantify and it is by no means always correct or accurate. Science is a system of beliefs much like any other. In other words the scientific mind is that way it is, because it's how that particular brain is wired.

Now try to get a classical music composed and a scientist to explain music. Their brains innate differences will become readily apparent. They literally see a different reality. So the Million dollar challenge is not provable to the Scientific mindset.

But on the flip side of the argument, I would pay him One million dollars to Scientifically, quantifiably demonstrate beyond a shadow of scientific possibility that it's none existent.

Because everyone should know, that science can prove things but it should be able disprove as well. This is one can't be proven or dis-proven either.
