Not saying you have to believe anything either way. What I'm saying is that, without proof of anything either way, all interpretations are open to being explored. I would agree that believing in anything that is demonstrated to be false is stupid. But to have an idea about what you might think an afterlife may look like, and even to guide yourself accordingly, isn't necessarily stupid. So long as you are willing to abandon any beliefs should they be shown to be untrue.
If you agree that some form of afterlife hasn't been shown to be impossible, you kind of have to let others have their thoughts on it free of judgement. Just like any theories of physics that may seem outlandish. The difference there is that scientists are actively searching for proof, as your quote suggests they should be. And religious zealots see no reason to search for proof.
Personally, i see no reason to search for proof because my beliefs in any afterlife are not concrete enough to warrant any work going into finding the truth. AKA I don't care enough to really seek the truth, but that doesn't mean I can't hold some ideas about what the truth may be.
