Re: Bro Wif PRCs
because people want ghosts to be real, because it adds a sense of mystery to the world, and possibly because it gives them hope in life after death. no-one who believes in ghosts does so rationally, because there is as much evidence for ghosts as there is for Santa Claus - yet we scoff at adults who believe in Santa.
just wait - people will chime in with half-assed hypotheses based on absolutely nothing to explain away this awfully damning logical analysis, to allow themselves to continue to believe in something as unfounded as the tooth Fairy.
if you want to consider the possibility seriously, wait for actual evidence conducted in a controlled environment. photos, no matter how awesomely realistic they look, do not constitute evidence. they are enough to pique one's interest, and even the interest of actual scientists, but they are not actual evidence. we demand evidence of the effectiveness of drugs before we use them, but some folks simply accept ghosts to exist, without so much as a hair of evidence. .
