RE: Ghosts do not exist - Science and paranormal activity
"Proof" is one thing, "hard evidence" is another one.
Saying "fire burns" is no proof, neither is a piece of charcoal.
The fact that after exposing wood to heat you get charcoal as a result is proof that fire burns (wood).
As for the case of ghosts, I am SURE that there's a possibility that some sort of entity "could" exist in a plane of existence we cannot measure (thanks to the limitations of being in this dimension imposte into us).
It is as likely as extraterrestrial life, just because we cannot measure it, it does not mean it does not exist.
Now, from that to "claim" that a speck of dust in a shitty Chinese camera is "evidence" of such entities existing... there's a huge leap.
If we have to believe in stuff with no hard evidence... I rather believe in Unicorns.
Totally agree. And while science has explained a lot of paranormal events away (attributed to vibrations, reflections, magnetism..., etc), we can't definitively prove that they DON'T exist. And of course, not being able to prove something is real doesn't confirm that it is unreal (your mention of aliens is a perfect example of that). So are ghosts and spirits real? I don't know, I don't see enough evidence to prove it for me, however I certainly don't see enough evidence to disprove it entirely.
