Have you ever seen a ghost

Post Reply New Topic

Alright Sands, from this point foward dont expect anything you say in this thread to be taken seriously since you wont take others seriously . BTW, you really must know Not know Jack Sh1t about chemistry, biochemistry, and thermodynamics to liken reviving a dead body to starting an automobile. Ever heard of something called Entropy?

To prove a Negative, you must show that something cannot exist. Of course, all that has to be dont to disprove a negative
is provide an example of this thing which is claimed to not exist.

that's not the same thing. you just discussed causality which isn't exactly proving it doesn't exist but rather proving that a set of actions does not cause something else to happen.. i'm discussing existence (as to the topic of this thread relates to the existence of ghosts). if someone claims something exists but no one else ever sees it or records it, how can you prove that it isn't there?

I never saw anything like that, but eep. *scratches head* I drew something that would resemble some annoyance bothering me for some time and causing issues. "Ok if I were to give my paranoya, or bad luck, or strange feelings of intrusion an image. What would it look like?" I drew a round head, horns, crazy stareing eyes, and a big fat phsyco grin all over his, infact small, 'face'. Honestly, this now creaps me out a little.

It creeps everybody out, what you just described. IF you're a human being, you're never completely immune to superstition. Superstition and spirituality aren't the same thing. But they're close. "Getting the creeps" is the atavistic response common to all of humanity.

Well, if you are going by that logic, the second law really disproves ghosts as well. I mean, where are they getting the energy to keep thinking and moving?

Ambient Infrared/UV/X-Ray/Gamma Radiation, Geomagnetic Field, Light, Dark Energy? In theory a life form of such type, would rest like a reptile and it's cells would have a battery-like system to charge up, then discharge for functionality. Although if efficient enough, it could even function 24/7. However in both cases it wouldn't have too much physical mass (as too much mass, would require too much energy to move), so they'd be rather small in total density. There's a lot of energy flowing everywhere, from geological to cosmic sources, so it's possible. In fact you could classify such a being as a animated plant, rather than an animal. Although like a living thing, it would need to consume natural resources to repair damaged cells over time on occasion, and emit some sort of waste (dead cells).

I don't believe in ghosts in a sense of dead relatives, but I believe in ghost being a type of life form (possibly alien) that was observed in the distant past, and became folklore and myth, and it was mistaken to be a typical ghost. I'd say most cases of ghost encounters are superstition, not a ghost but something else, or delusion. I can't say I've see a ghost, because the definition is rather subjective depending on belief and culture.

Interesting. Modern physics does suggest the existence of higher dimensions, though AFAIK this has yet to be experimentally proven. Furthermore, it was once thought that "spirits" were beings from higher dimensions passing through 3-space. BTW speckles, there ARE other places where Ghosts could get their energy. Energy is really not all that uncommon in the universe ya know .

yeah, we just suck at harnessing it for our own use and manipulation.
