jrsmith Posted May 30, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2020 There was a time when I was younger that I belived in all things unexplained, but now that I am growing older 66 now, that I may have out grown most of all this stuff. But I am still interested in all paranormal, but do I still belive? What about all u people out their? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not limited by natural laws and physics. Some people grow out of that naive approach, some don't. I mean, a majority of the world's population still believe in a god. Sadly. If you trust physics, which has never failed, it tells us that there are three spatial dimensions. There are no higher dimensions for beings to hide. And an intelligent being can't be made of air. So we can safely conclude that souls, ghosts, demons, angels and their bosses don't exist. Because they have nowhere to exist.

I was once a nonbeliever myself but now am a certain believer in ghosts from the quantity. quality and consistency of the evidence. What are ghosts and the various types of ghosts has now become the more interesting questions for me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejarma Posted May 30, 2020 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2020 the only interest I've got in the paranormal is debunking it for the BS it is! Having said that if folk get comfort from believing long lost loved ones are with them then how can argue with that... Just don't try to convince me it's real, because I'm sure it's not.. Oh yeah, welcome, jr by the way 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, welcome, jr by the way ^^^^ this ^^^^ And in my case after over 40 years of research in topics of paranormal supernatural otherwordly etc ive have zero proof only excuses and stories, things blindly believed when younger went to the trash can when all i needed and never found was simple proof. Ive also had a truning to the study of the mind, the imagination, mental issues, those are the places where paranormal supernatural otherwordly exists. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe when an unexplained event occurs ; ) but I never NOT believe, too many things have happened... (the in between times are NICE). And some things like Santa, flying rain deer, fairy's - including the tooth fairy, werewolves, elf's, unicorns, etc. Well sometimes you just have to draw a limit on some things... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have evolved to the point of not believing anything about anything. There is reality...and then there is everything else. You don't need to believe in reality. It just is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather, we'd find some science or history forum to join. This is certainly a more entertaining place, than a skeptics forum, where everybody is an olympic champion in back patting. But I'm also here to learn about patterns in people's experiences, and to search for the impossible needle in the haystack, a paranormal story that can be backed up with evidence. But after nearly four years, I've found nothing - as suspected. Still waiting though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think this stuff really says more about how our minds work, more than anything paranormal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
