Right ive just finished reading Roy Baintons Book of Unexplained Phenomena and im curious as to what people think of certain things from it such as .....
UFO's - I personally believe in UFO's and i have seen 3 unidentified lights in the sky over the last four years. Given the size of the universe i think its pretty much nailed on that theres intelligent life capable of flying vast distances.
Life After Death/Spiritualism/Psychics - I dont mean to offend anyone thats religious but personally i think religion is the biggest con ever. Religion has probably got more people killed in the world than anything else yet its supposed to be peaceful and loving etc. Im a firm believer in science, its answered everything i need to know. I also have a real problem with 'psychics', i think they are con artists, liars, upsetting people for money. Just like magicians theres an answer to their 'tricks'.
To quote Professor Stephen Hawking
‘I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail.
‘There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.’
