Have you ever seen a ghost

Post Reply New Topic

It's interesting to note the progression of science and scientific theories. In one century, it's sound. In another, it's quackery. Was the medieval practise of trepanning more religious than it was scientific?

It's interesting to note that religions never suffer from quackery because the ideas are never permitted to be thoroughly analyzed for reasonable good sense. They are frozen into absolute dictums and therefore never suffer the embarrassment of being revealed as total nonsense. Science, on the other hand is continually being analyzed in the light of new knowledge and when ideas do not fit they are unceremoniously discarded. That's how progress is made.

Yes but this is probably not the right place to share it.

It was coincidentally right after my grandmother's funeral.

Of course science has had its failings. But it examines its failings and corrects them where ever it can. That's the point of science. If you don't understand that you are totally at sea in understanding science.

I have read of scientific examinations of paranormal phenomena and the results are all totally negative. The bulk of instances have proved to be scams.

Good for you! I wish you all the luck in the world and advise you to stay in close communication with Stephen King.

Hey man, I'm not a b***h, I'm a bastard or a son of a b***h, whatever you might prefer. And what am I supposed to be trying? People have been ghost hunting for centuries with no concrete results. I just wished you good luck and you suddenly realized you don't have a ghost of a chance and so you're pissed off. Not my problem.

I realize you don't think, so your conviction about ghosts is rather tenuous at best. Instead of a vague undefined name why don't you get specific as to what phenomena you intend to pursue? Is it the spirit of someone dead or a spooky extra dimensional invader or a projection of someone's mind visible to everybody else or just what?
Spirits of dead people are pretty well debunked these days so it might be something else.
I don't have to be a scientist to be able to think clearly. I gather from your input that you have little or no scientific training but I might be wrong. Lots of scientists have very peculiar ideas but they pursue them with rigorous analysis and experimentation. I would be delighted if you could demonstrate to the world that ghosts are real phenomena and you could introduce one to a scientific audience. I'm not holding my breath.

Can't prove a negative, Sand.

With all that hot air, you sidestepped the question.
