"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

Still an opinion whether or not you believe the facts. Here I'm using the word opinion to mean "point of view" if that helps clarify the meaning.

Very true!

Who here let's their personal opinions impact their professional work? I could easily ask the same of Christians, "do you tell all your clients they are going to hell because they don't believe in a zombie jew?" chances are they don't. Because even though they believe that it's unprofessional to...

Aliens don't contradict what science says is possible. Aliens don't require the existence of supernatural forces. But to be honest I haven't thought about or researched it enough to form an educated opinion on their existence. And to answer your question: yes I am mocking all spiritual...

"childish" how? Are we no longer allowed to mock ridiculous beliefs and point out their absurdities through satire?

Restoring my faith in humanity right there :)

That's right it doesn't. It just makes it incredibly amazingly unlikely to the same point as any other made up thing, such as our noodley overlord Fsm.

Nope. Can't prove that a monster made of spaghetti and meatballs didn't create the universe either. I'm hoping you are equally open minded to the Fsm.

It would be really interesting to hear from people, if they believe in ghosts, what would they consider evidence that ghosts don't exist, and how could that be measured. The very first test of a good theory is if it has the ability to be proven wrong.

Sorry again a copy paste answer to your question as it's already been answered: Q: If energy is neither created nor destroyed, what happens to the energy within our bodies and brains when we die...

See above post.

http://www.thetutorpages.com/tutor-article/a-level-physics/ghosts-are-impossible-in-physics/7056 This looks interesting regarding the laws of nature that ghosts would break. Unfortunately I can only copy and paste this stuff, I'm no physicist.

Anything that is "super" natural by definition goes against the established laws of nature. However you are going to have to research a bit more for all the exact laws a ghost would break. I'm guessing you'll find a few.

I don't believe in something until there is evidence for it. You are mixing up your examples here. A scientist doesn't get excited hearing about things with a very long history of having no evidence, or having evidence to the contrary. Even to form a hypothesis there has to be some...

Agreed. I think every parent of little kids here will tell you that kids never make stuff up like imaginary friends, and they never believe in fanciful things such as Santa, the tooth fairy, and unicorns etc, and most of all little kids never lie. So yes suspending all we know about nature...

Look don't get bogged down in things like defining your hypothesis, as soon as someone does that and it becomes falsifiable it can be disproved. Best to keep it all vague.

I like the way the logic is going here. I think it should be applied to other beings as well. There are non scientifically verified videos of things like unicorns. Are they fake? I don't know. Best to keep an open mind. And does the tooth fairy really exist but we just haven't gotten...

Technology isn't advanced enough? Video cameras have been around for a while now. But I'm sure there is some convoluted reason why those things apparently can't see ghosts when people apparently can. In science you have to prove your theories before they are believed. They are not believed...

Burning rocks to get rid of ghosts... Okay yep I give up. Logic has no place here.
