Ghosts exist because most people cannot deal with the idea of their own mortality without some kind of afterlife. ;)

No, you've seen things that YOU couldn't explain. The arrogance that it must take to jump from "I can't explain this." to "Nobody can explain this. It must be something that cannot be explained ever, no matter what." is astounding.


I cannot explain the jump it took you to go from my use of a common phrase to exhibiting astounding arrogance. Because "cannot be explained" can also be a subjective and present tense statement. And don't tell me everything humanity has encountered in this odd world has already been explained away by science. Had I said "will not be explained by anyone ever" then you may have had legitimate reason to make such a brash conclusion.

Honestly, if you had summed up my statement up as "ignorance", I would have been more impressed.

Thanks Dr. Science, now back to the subject, I believe there are paranormal things in this world, to say that we live in a world without mystery, anamolies, paranormal events is just downright stupid and pompous.

Like I said before: The is no paranormal, just things we haven't explained yet. In time we will. After all, all a mystery is is a challenge.

Really, if you don't know, why not research ghosts, and then you can make your decisions? I believe in it, especially my dream and how I was born.

No, but I believe hilariously weird shit DOES happen, which I love.

For instance, I heard this guy talking about how he once visited a house and stayed over, but woke up in the middle of the night more scared and fearful than he had ever been, as if he had been possessed by some ghost. And that he woke up under a freaking piano. The weirder thing was that a previous guest at the house had apparently awoken underneath the piano too. :|

So one person says that rutabagas taste good and other people say liver is delicious, some people swear up and down that roses smell nice and others are sure that marijuana smells terrible... I can't agree on any of those things.

I'm not able to experience those tastes or smells from the other people's perspective. Their brain is supposedly (if materialist empiricism is correct) receiving the same information that my brain ought to receive when I place the appropriate liver particles on my same sense receptor/ input device/ my tongue. The fact that we don't seem to be experiencing the same taste makes me wonder whether what I see as blue is experienced the same way as anybody else seeing that color. Sure, there may be a light wave length that we've agreed on as being blue but I don't actually know what that looks like to you. Other animals (i.e. Platypus) are able to sense electromagnetic changes (and induction in those fields) from moving items. As we don't have a sense receptor for that, they receive the information in a way that as humans we can't really comprehend experiencing...

The question then is, are we actually experiencing the same world at the same time at all (person to person, never mind person to platypus) or do we just have enough similarities in our "worlds" that we can agree on a fairly wide range of things? Because if the second option is the case (which it may or may not be) it may be possible that paranormal activities are absent in one person's "world" and yet in another person's these paranormal activities may be normal...

Yes I realize that this was a nearly meaningless comment/ everybody has wondered about that from time to time and it doesn't prove or disprove anything at all...

I wasn't saying that, I was saying that "we don't" or "possibly can't" was stupid

We don't live in a world where there are supernatural paranormal events. We live in a world that can (either at present or in the future assuming we don't blow ourselves up first) be explained scientifically. That doesn't mean there aren't mysteries.
