They are raising awareness, and that's the first step to changing how society handles an issue.

******* hilarious. There's two more episodes and there's new ones every Sunday. This is going to be very popular soon.

Very nice, I have tons of respect for people who use their time wisely.

Sounds like his excuse is that his daughter is sick. Looking forward to Rick "the family man" Santorum's 2016 presidential campaign. :rolleyes:

Very well then, thank you for the discussion thus far.

Thank you. ^_^

It's been almost 4 months since this was originally posted, I think he's made up his mind.

While there is no evidence that human consciousness would, in any form, live past our bodies, there is no evidence to suggest that it doesn't either. What is human consciousness, is it only matter or are there other forms of substance? Science has no answer as of yet, but it is at least entertaining to consider the possibility that there are. Ah, the argument from ignorance. While scientist haven't disproved ghosts, they haven't yet disproved the invisible unicorn in my backyard either. I'm all for entertaining possibilities, but ghosts are just plain nonsense. I doubt you have any knowledge of this unicorn you speak of, but you propably do have knowledge of your existence and the existence of your consciousness. Science doesn't offer a complete, objective view on the origins of consciousness. Some argue it never will nor could. When it comes to consciousness, it isn't all that unreasonable to assume that all possibilities are still open. Even if you reject the idea of any substance other than matter, quantum physics show us that many unexpected things are possible even in the realm of matter. My hand is at the same time attached to my arm and on the other side of the universe. So is every electron to ever exist. Your intuition counts for very little in the world beneath what our eyes can see, the fundamental mechanics of the universe. Your argument is very broad, and leaves the door wide open for my invisible unicorn. Just because we can't prove something doesn't exists, doesn't mean it probably does. The philosophic burden of proof is on the individual making the unfalsifiable claims. In this case, ghosts of the supernatural phenomenon. I never said that ghosts propably exist. pos·si·ble/ˈpäsəbəl/ Adjective: Able to be done; within the power or capacity of someone or something. Noun: A person or thing that has the potential to become or do something. Synonyms: feasible - potential - probable - likely - contingent I don't want to debate the existence of ghosts for exactly the same reasoning that you are using here. I haven't made any argument there except the same one that you used, that the existence or nonexistence of ghosts is an unfalsifiable claim. Consciousness is not. We can verify the existence of consciousness, so its nature, or at least the possibility of having information of its nature, is very much a debatable subject. But if you're not interested in discussing that, we can end this here, because I have no desire to debate rhetorics. Alright then, let's go off the topic of ghosts and discuss consciousness. Can we really prove the existence of consciousness? Consciousness and mental activity is a process. Using EEG we have the ability to measure the electrical activity of this process. Something is there, but what is it? Well, the charge produced that makes these electrical signals are from billions of neurons in your brain. These neurons fire off to produce different thoughts and are different for every person. This is where our current understand stops, we don't know much else. Our brain tells us that we exist (cogito ergo sum) and that consciousness exists, but what scientific proof is there of this?

Congrats Zenith. It's a shame there are already clans hinting at plans to ruin your anniversary. I sincerely hope you outpull them and shut them up.

A few interesting things to think about when considering the existence of ghosts: Let me remind you, these quotes are describing the stereotypical ghosts that people believe in today.

No. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. -Carl Sagan

I never thought I would see the day where a win against FOE was a win for EOP. Thanks for the fights everyone.
