Do You Believe In The Supernatural, Paranormal And The Unexplained?

[Jahulaye]

Including ufos, aliens, Bigfoot, yetis, ghosts, conspiracy theories and all the others?

What makes you believe this? Experiences? A gut feeling? Studies and research?

Or are you not a believer, in which case why?

Well I believe in the unexplained because everything is unexplained till someone finds out what is causing it.

and you can visit CERN https://visit.cern .....although of course only the bits they want you to see (waggles eyebrows mysteriously)

conspiracy theories....no I think most things are cock up rather than conspiracy.

about the rest, I neither know nor care.

On the LHC thing, before they switched it on people spread rumours that the energy levels would create mini black holes.

The energy levels were many orders of magnitude lower than needed for that, but I seem to remember that the media found the odd rogue scientist who refused to rule it out. (because actually, you could not rule it out as a quantum effect).

On the wider pont.. Dunno really. I'm sure there is more to the universe than what we know today.

The balance of probabilities suggests there are alien life forms out there, though on the Stephen Hawking thread there is a quote about it not being a good idea to go looking for highly advanced, space-travelling aliens.

Yeti/Bigfoot. Perfectly possible that a large ape-like creature lives in small numbers in remote parts of the world.

Ghosts... Hmm not really. There have been lots of efforts to find hard evidence. Not successful.

Generally fairly open-minded, unless the evidence has already ruled it out.

I believe its best to have an open mind about all of these things, there is much we don't know about the world and the universe. It would be arrogant and short sighted to immediately rule everything out because it may seem a bit out there.

I'm an interdimentional being... as in Angel Vampire puppet... and I'm coming to get you :-)

Exactly as kromo said... I think "supernatural" and "paranormal" come under "not explained yet".

^I agree. I don't believe anything is 'supernatural'.

I agree fully with mm at 18:06 Wed.

I have an open mind but lean towards thinking there has to be something. My three year old grandson asked my daughter who the 'new person' in the bedroom was. Daughter told him there was only the two of them in the house but he insisted there was a lady with a baby.
