If there were a picture, what would it look like? How could you tell?
Seriously, there is of course no direct evidence for hyperdimensions. But the mathematics of cosmology and quantum physics certainly point in that direction. And as for the standard of "direct evidence" itself, we don't have "direct evidence" for a lot of things (sub-atomic particles, "dark matter", etc) that are generally accepted. Heck, what "direct evidence" do I have for you other than these Posts (which are nothing more than electrons in cyberspace and my monitor)?

Yes, and the arguments against are just as well articulated. Good articulation does not make an argument correct, just well articulated.

But articulation betrays some intellectual acumen, does it not? I never accuse Nietzsche of being a dummy - nor Russell or other atheists. So the mere acceptance of theistic beliefs is no indication of stupidity either.

Reality just happens to support the arguments against supernatural reality a bit better, as there is no concrete evidence of these supernatural realities.

Again, "concrete evidence". What qualifies as "concrete evidence"? What is the tip-over point where naturalism can no longer be applied?

All humans are reasoning beings, meaning they have the capability to utilize rational thought, reason, logic, etc. I never said all humans exercise these abilities, just that they have them.

My point exactly.
