i agree that the proof of a soul is needed to be on the path of absolute proof. without a soul there is no conscience, and as pure energy travels only on a straight line, without a conscience or decision making, or self awareness then ghosts could not exist. which is kinda where we ae in the scientific world on the topic...lol
Thanks for your input Paulm
I would like to add some other points to this discussion.
There is so much science that we thought we knew about that, as we delve into
Quantum Mechanics further, we are finding surprising results that change everything we thought we knew. There are also other scientific studies on the horizon, such as
Sub-Quantum Mechanics, that will probably just blow our minds in their revelations.
Energy can be manipulated by both gravity and electromagnetism, which of course, are energy fields in their own right. How do we know that other energy fields do not interfere in other energy fields travel? At this moment in time, we don't, as we do not have the scientific knowledge to determine it. We only know what science tells us is so at our current understanding. We simply do not know about, at this time, all the elements, energies, dimensions and all the other things that are said to make up our Universe as a whole.
In the
scientific world, yes I agree with you, 'ghosts' do not exist. I just cannot argue that, as it is a fact. There is
no scientific evidence, that can be gained through the
scientific method, that can provide evidence. But, is this 'regulated' because of our current level of scientific understanding? Is this because we are still thinking 'inside the box'?
Putting aside the fakes and fraudsters out there that have almost completely destroyed this field of study, there are countless hours of credible evidence out in the world that suggests that 'ghosts' not only exist, but they are more commonplace than we actually think.
Science tells us that there is this thing called the human energy field which has memories, thoughts, feelings and other emotions that exist in energy form - our consciousness
is an energy form. It cannot be anything else, as science
tells us that
everything in our universe is made up of energy. Science also tells us that we cannot destroy this energy - we can neither create it. But science will not go as far as to say that it is even
plausible (I am not talking about scientific proof through the scientific method - I'm talking about the acknowledgement of something) for this energy to exist in an 'entity' form in our plane of existence. Why is that?
As in a discussion I had with the
Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP), let me also ask this question: If 'ghosts' definitely, and undeniably, do
not exist, then why are there academic organisations (such as the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), run by professors and other noted academics), and agencies (such as the Department of the Paranormal - DoP - a federal executive department branch of the Union of Everett) who actively research and document paranormal activity? We can't have our cake
and eat it......
The simple matter of the fact is that
nobody can prove where this energy goes - or where it
doesn't go. I also believe that there is a clash of interest between science and religion. What would happen to certain areas of our civilisation
if science
proved that there
were such things as 'ghosts' and there
were in fact human energy fields existing in our plane of existence? Do we even think that this kind of revelation would be released out to us? It is a bit like an ELE (Extinction Level Event). Does anyone out there
actually think
any Government would tell us that all life on Earth was going to end and there was nothing that could be done to save us? Or would they just let it happen, letting humanity pass doing what they do every day - going about their lives?
It is a toughie
People like myself
know there
is something out there. We have experienced and witnessed it. We have documented it. It can be intelligent and present having a memory. One of the
Kindred Spirit episodes with Amy and Adam was an excellent example of this when they requested an entity remember the word 'Apple' and it gave the word back when asked at a different location.
We just cannot prove it in an acceptable scientific form and that will be the conundrum for years to come.
On a final note, and this is not a dig at
anyone, purely an observation (so please do not read into this as anything other than what it is), I find it interesting that some people believe in the existence and study cryptids, aliens, UFOs and other phenomena that fall under the paranormal umbrella, yet they cannot believe in the possibility of 'ghosts'. Yes, we have Bigfoot footage, and UFO footage and other things caught on camera. We also do in the world of hauntings. Yet these subject matters are also discredited as there is
no scientific evidence, that can be presented by the scientific method, to prove
their existence. As a species, we are extremely selective in what we
want to believe in.
