What do you believe in?
What stuff do you believe in even though you dont have evidence and are atheist? I believe in aliens and some sort of afterlife. I also believe theres a 4th density that has different laws of physics. The 4th density im talking about is not about time. I believe theres alot of stuff the universe can do that would seem supernatural. I believe in magic and supernatural like powers that humans arent capable of.

Aliens are very likely to be real by sheer odds of the size of the universe. I just doubt they travel to the earth just to probe our feces factories. >.>
My theory is that ghosts are a sort of psychic imprint. The human mind is very powerful. It wouldn't surprise me if the mind can actually influence its environment (mind over matter). Expressing a strong emotion would leave aftershocks, such as anger, fear, or love. >.>

Jennifer, google "The Stone Tape" - that was a BBC broadcast years ago, and it scared the shit out of me back then. The concept behind it is very like your psychic imprint idea.

Aw, it's sci-fi horror. I was hoping it was a documentary on something like paranormal investigation theories.

Aftershocks? Aftershocks in the normal context are vibrations in a medium which affect their surroundings. Through what medium would emotions cause shocks/aftershocks, and why would they be eternally present or repeating themselves thereafter? Emotions are psychological phenomena. They cause and are caused by physiological changes in the body, but that's literally as far as they go.

Mind over matter is a logical contradiction. In order to know anything definatively things that exist must have an identity (i.e. existence exists and A is A). The conscious mind is a process based on the material brain. In order for something to be conscious, it must be conscious of something (which implies that it must have the faculties with which to be conscious i.e. the five senses). There is also no proof for ESP which implies that mind over matter is a false premise. Since by definition ghosts and spirits are nonmaterial they cannot be conscious (not to mention that in order for something to exist in the first place it must be made of matter). In other words, once the brain is dead and ceases to function the personality based on that brain no longer exists. Hence no ghosts or "psychic" imprints.

I believe in that which is reasonable, logical, and/or has evidence in it's favor. I try very hard not to muddle belief with that which I hope or want to be true.

Nothing. I accept, reject or am neutral about stuff based on evidence, reason and scientific proof. I reject the supernatural and metaphysical as unproven, neutral on aliens as unprovable and don't care about multiverses, dimensions densities and so much more.
I do, however, think the ability to exchange ideas in writing depends a lot on good spelling, grammer and punctuation.

Wouldn't those with density be prime candidates for The Dims?

I believe our potential knowledge is limited by our senses. We cannot know or conceive of anything outwith the parameters of our senses, though it's possible that senses could exist, though not for humans, which would allow more knowledge to be attainable.

As we know some other animals have evolved quite different senses from ours it does make me wonder how and what humans may have developed if our range of senses were different or wider. It's a great topic for speculation and the basis of so much sciene fiction/fantasy.
To realise we evolved the skills to develop tools which enable us to duplicate these senses, as well as inventing or discovering other ways to gather information and knowledge is quite inspiring.
