Why are so many ppl skeptic and negative when it comes to alternative thinking?

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="peterw007"]

I'm going to operate on the assumption that what you just said is completely true, for a moment.

Things exist because things exist.

If that's true, then why do people who have faith in science constantly discredit the existence of unexplained phenomena that have been witnessed by millions of people, like ghosts?

"It doesn't exist because we can't measure it," you might reply.

But what if our technology is just not evolved enough to measure the existence of such things?

-

To help prove my point, think about phenomena (imagination, the realm of forms, etc.) that exists because we can feel it (logic), but doesn't exist because we can't determine its existence through science.

People "feel" the existence of ghosts (logic), but we can't determine it exists through science.

So why are ghosts constantly discredited by researchers, but the idea of a triangle is taken as a fact "because it exists"?

Why are you categorizing ghosts--a phenomena that millions of people around the world would swear they witnessed--in the same vein as dragons or unicorns, which very few people have believed they witnessed?
