[QUOTE="kingius, post: 6278238, member: 85123"] Science is atheistic in nature and this is why religion is not accepted. Atheism is itself a belief system (the belief in the non-existence of something), no matter what underpins it, it could still be wrong. So be careful about confusing facts with beliefs. Agnostism accepts that questions about gods, spirits, souls and so on may be fundamentally unknowable and unprovable, but that doesn't preclude them from existing. This is now the domain of philosophy which science is ill equipped to deal with, especially considering the close minded nature of scientific debate over that which we do not know and consider to be 'paranormal'. In short, don't look to a scientist to understand these things because science simply (at this point in time) is too busy denying the existence of these things to get anywhere close to them. Edit to expand - the very notion that people who do not agree with atheism are not somehow being rational is itself somewhat crazy. It is entirely possible to experience something and to come to the conclusion that the experience was 'paranomal'. Simple logic can lead one down this path when one considers all of the facts as known. Often scientists have to miss out on crucial facts in order to utilise reductionism and create a theory which spans multiple sources. You have to go back to the original sources to discover this, though, and until you do, you won't know that the theory is wrong. [/QUOTE]
