re: People who believe in ghosts are themselves creepy.

A person who believes in a ghost as an explanation for something that he doesn't understand is a person who claims that he knows the answer to something that he couldn't possibly know. A person who thinks that a ghost is a extremely unlikely is a person who admits his own limitations and acknowledges the reality of the world and what they can really experience. Who exactly is pretending they know more than they really do again?

there are things in this universe that we could not even begin to comprehend. to pretend you know is quite moronic.

Ummm.... exactly. So why do you know that ghosts explain an unknown event again?

There has never been any credible documented evidence of ghosts. It is probabilistically incredibly unlikely that they are an explanation for anything. Striking them from the list of reasonable possibilities is not the same as saying that I know everything like you claim.

I think it's very unlikely that man discovered fire by Prometheus stealing it from the gods. I think that people who currently believe this as the actual explanation for that discovery are silly and ignorant. This does not mean that I think I know exactly how it happened.
