I don't see anything wrong with being wary and skeptical, but I disagree that there is no room to study ghostly phenomena. If indeed there is a physical causation for this, then it would never be discovered and understood if avoided all together. I think you should exercise caution when making assumptions regarding brain function because this is something that is still not fully understood. Also, the 'thought' process cannot be fully attributed to merely the brain. if this were so, then people would cease to think after their physical bodies die, but there is a lot of ancedontal evidence to suggest that thought continues to occur long into the afterlife.

In the movie "what the bleep do we know", the man who introduced Quantum physics to the scientific world defines it as the law of possibilities. Simply stated, Quantum physics does not rule anything out, and this would include things we clearly do not understand, such as supernatural phenomena and the existence of life in other parts of the Universe. Another thing that is said is that 'a grain of sand contains a thousand universes'. Suggesting that there is are multitudes of life existence that reaches far beyond our own. Its another thing that is simply not understood by science yet.

But we haven't discussed aliens and UFOs.....
One of my favorite topics. I love ghost stuff but it gives me bad dreams at night. UFO stuff is awesome. I wish I could see a legit UFO.

I could watch shows on UFOs all day 24/7. I wish I were an alien. Then I could fly around in space digging the scenery while listening to cool space music.

I don't know much about UFO's, but there have been hundreds of accounts where people insist they were abducted by aliens. As far fetched as the idea may seem, these people had some kind of strong motivation to tell their stories. I think what people think of as 'aliens' are simply entities that reside in other dimensions aside from our own. The verified sightings of UFOs could account for instances when they cross over from their dimension into our own.

Or they could just be aliens from other planets just exploring like we would.
I love the arguments that it's not physically possible for UFOs to be here because of the distances. Like a civilization that could easily be a million years more advanced in technology couldn't figure out a way to get around that!
Oh, and that there's no physical evidence. Like a UFO that went across the galaxy is just going to have nuts and bolts falling off that we could find.

How was Mentzer erroneous? You have not shown that a logical understanding of the universe is a false one in any way shape or form, and better and more intelligent men and women than you have certainly been trying for centuries now.
I watched those Ghosthunters clips, and I saw nothing that indicates the supernatural in any way. There is nothing in any of those that shows any evidence of anything but natural phenomena. There are lots of blurry images that are just pattern recognition, evidence of nothing but false-positives and great examples of how this bullshit gets started. They see the supernatural because that is what they want to see. None of this evidence can meet the skeptics' challenge. Again, the issue here is that you are all going to 'magic' as the default because you want to believe that is the answer, when really what you're seeing is a lot of shoddy untestable 'evidence' and hyperbole about what it indicates. Once again, you're all relying on anecdotal evidence to argue against tested, well documented evidence on the nature of the universe and how it operates. The probability that any of that phenomena is 'supernatural' is astronomically higher than the probability that the retards in that show and everyone believing it are just misinterpreting the data. You'll even hear them sometimes suggest the most probable, logical answer, and yet then they'll say "Well it can't be that, it must be ghosts!" as if that is somehow the more logical and likely answer, that the universe just showed that everything we have ever come to understand through observational, testable data just got thrown out the window. Those people are paid to be delusional morons for the entertainment and validation of other delusional morons (their viewers).
As for 'What the bleep do we know' that movie was a crock of shit. Entertaining, yes, but complete and utter bullshit as even the most basic of research into the concepts presented in it will show you. Once again, just because we do not have a complete understanding of something does not mean that anything goes; and in the case of quantum physics specifically, one of the reasons we are researching a unified theory is because quantum mechanics only applies to the micro and newtonian/einsteinian physics to the macro. The moment anyone starts throwing around the word 'quantum' to explain phenomena in the macro world that's a very good sign that they probably have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

No there isn't! There is no evidence whatsoever of any afterlife, and there cannot even be anecdotal evidence of this because dead people cannot 'sense' anything because our senses are a physiological process that ceases when all other physiological functions cease. Plus thought is well documented to be only a function of brain chemistry.

Seems like alot of people here need to read Richard Dawkins' book called "The God Delusion".
