How many of you out there have seen a ghost, UFO, God, or other mythical beings? Maybe you haven't seen one, but you believe they exist.
I have friends that believe in witchcraft, ghosts, and other paranormal activities. I personally do not believe in such things. I am a firm believer in science because it can prove and reveal results I can see with my own two eyes and touch with my own hands.
Why do others believe that ghosts exist? There has never been any proof, or science behind it. There have been many that say you can "feel" the presence of a spirit when it is close to you because the air will get colder around you and you may hear voices.
When I was a kid I used to turn the lights off and head down to the basement in order to scare the hell out of myself. When I got down there my mind would go wild with the imaginary horrors it would conjure up. I would swear on my life that I saw glowing red eyes and heard low growling in the blackest corner. I would then run for my life back up the stairs and turn on all the lights in the basement before I entered it again.
It seems to me that this is very much the same sort of thing when you watch ghost hunters on T.V. These people go into the darkest, scariest places they can find in an attempt to scare the hell out of themselves while someone records them doing it. The viewer gets caught up in the show because when they were a kid they remember doing the same exact thing in their basement. It brings back a flood of memories except this time it has been televised as a truth, with all their unproven scientific gadgetry. It would make just about anyone a believer.
This is just one example of how you might think the supernatural is real, others might involve hearing about someone else's first hand experience, or listening to groups of people saying they all had the same experience.
I wish these things were true, magic, super powers, supernatural entities, ghosts, god, loch-ness, Bigfoot, and aliens that have been to our planet. Any or all of these things would make our planet all the more interesting and wondrous. But sadly I don't, there is no factual science or even a decent picture to prove anything.
You could say the same could be said on love, there is no science to prove its existence. Love is a feeling not an entity or force. If you're going to pull love as your excuse card you had better put all the feelings in there too, hate, empathy, pride, etc. The fact that every person and animal on this planet feels love and other emotions makes me a believer. This is not the case with supernatural events and beings.
What do you believe?
