This has been, and will always be my argument for years to come. If After Life is not real, then what is the current explanation for ghosts. Some scientists claim it's dust molecules refracting in light or some bullcrap like that. But what explains the random movement of objects? We've got a haunted dorm near by. Lights randomly turn on, and objects move. So, if there really is no After Life, then what are these strange poltergeists? Is there a scientific explanation? Is there such thing as air molecules bunching up together causing objects to move? Then explain how the objects just happen to fly at people? I'm a bit high right now so I don't know what I'm saying. Just discuss.

I think you should replace Heaven with afterlife.

We don't know.
I don't have any evidence to believe in ghosts myself.
Lack of explanation doesn't mean crazy theories are validated.
Also the existence of Heaven isn't falsifiable.

I don't see what the existence or non-existence of Heaven has to do with ghosts or anything else, but I don't believe that ghosts or anything of the "paranormal" really exist. Such things are merely the result of their observers' inablity to find the true cause of the phenomenon. A person's mental state also has the potential to significantly alter how they perceive and event. For example, lights turning on and off is likely the result of faulty wiring, objects appearing to "move" could be nothing more than a table with uneven legs and an overactive imagination, etc. Unless someone can show me convincing, scientific observations of otherwise-unexplainable phenomenon, I think it's all bunk.

first of all, i don't believe in ghosts.
second of all, i believe in the afterlife being either Heaven or Hell, and you don't ever go back to earth.
so if the afterlife you're talking about is the Christian afterlife (heaven or hell), then i don't see why that would support ghosts because in the christian belief, ghosts aren't real BECAUSE of there being an afterlife.

Well I myself am a bit "iffy" on the subject of the afterlife myself, I'm just curious here. Ghosts are supposedly remnants of a human being after death, so in a way it ties into the whole subject. And you forget of heaven's actual location. If heaven is real, no one is sure where it is. It could be right here on earth, just we don't see it...that well.

Ghosts supposedly remnants of human beings after death, or instead...

SIDE EFFECTS OF AN OVERACTIVE IMAGINATION AND/OR DRUGS!


Thank you very much.

I am replacing souls with minds here
They rot in the ground, along with our brains/bodies which contain our minds.
And then you go to the lifestream

yeah but it's part of the christian belief to know that ghosts aren't real. you go to heaven or you go to hell. you don't become an angel, and you don't become a ghost. basically, you don't interact with the earth anymore because it is imperfect. heaven can't be on earth because the earth isn't perfect and heaven is. it's separated from the sin of the earth.
but if you're talking about the "afterlife" as being ALIVE ON EARTH after you die... then that's what ghosts ARE. so basically you'd be saying "IF GHOSTS AREN'T REAL THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN GHOSTS?"

As soon as I saw the topic title my initial reaction was "Oh god".

Before we explain ghosts, prove ghosts.

Exactly. This is more of something to ponder on, and not to be taken seriously. It just occured to me that people constantly talk of their encounters and that dorm has shown me some pretty weird crap. I myself, do not believe in ghosts. But, my friends and I had a whole argument on this and it actually did make me think. The only problem is it'd be hard to prove ghosts. Although it's said that certain animals are able to "see" them.

As always there's no real answer for any of these questions so there is little point in asking them!

Why would I think about it if I'm not taking it seriously.

"Hey, guys, I just read this random post that was all like "lulz!" and I laughed and now I'm contemplating the deeper meanings..."
