  as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.

  however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.

  i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.

  Coffey,

  Something happened as a child that I still can't explain. My experience and others leads me to the conclusion that there are forces at work which by and large are unseen by the scientific community.

  And ladies and gentlemen,

  I make the point again, that if you have seen or heard something that cannot be explained, you will be attacked by people who demand evidence of what you saw or else and you will be labelled mentally ill or that you were hallucinating.

  These people cannot think outside the box of their limited scope of reality - in their limited imagination, if it can't be measured, it doesn't exist.

  Viviane,

  I love the irony.

  You were not present at my experience, yet you have the nerve to tell me: "How do you know you weren't hallucinating?"

  I already said I was not asleep and was not ill.

  But that doesn't cut it for you because of your limited preconceived notions.

  Then you have the audacity to tell me I don't like your explanation for an experience that you weren't there to see.

  That is the height of arrogance and you are by far, extremely arrogant to tell me what I did/did not see and what it was/was not.

  Billy,

  I think that's fair but I don't know how else it could be explained.

  Cofty,

  This is but one experience. No, I wasn't ill or hallucinating.

  I never said demons. I don't know what it was. All I know is that it scared the heck out of me. And at the time, I was in another brother's house who was an elder.

  I say forget preconceived ideas, the Bible, demons, ghosts, whatever you call it - you are still left with something that can't be expained.

  Billyblobber,

  "Doubters" just use the same standards of evidence with the supernatural as they would with UFOs or new animals or new scientific breakthroughs or anything else. You SHOULD doubt by default. Default belief in things just because you want to believe in them are a problem area for humanity as a whole, and cause huge problems throughout human history.

  I agree, and I wish my experience was me just wanting to believe in them, but it wasn't and I can't deny it. So I'm stuck. I can't prove my event because it only happened once. And I can't deny it happened.

  Cofty,

  Where would you go to find the evidence?

  Instead of asking us to provide it, why not look for it yourself?

  Evidence should be expected and demanded but the problem is we can't replicate on demand the things we have seen and heard. I'm not asking anyone to believe my accounts.

  So we're left with people who have seen and heard and those who haven't.

  here's where it gets complicated.

  If someone, or more than one person, actually saw something supernatural, and they weren't doing drugs, didn't have mental or emotional problems, weren't sleepwalking then who am I to say they were making it up?

  I don't have that right. Just because someone does not personally believe in anything does not mean that they should bully others who have seen things into believing that they didn't.

  this kind of thread could go on forever and there may be an equal number of people who saw things and those who don't believe in them.

  all it does is breed intolerance.

  It's true for me.

  It's not my job to convince you or anyone else. I don't expect anybody to take my word for it. I don't have evidence except what I saw and heard.

  But I'm OK with that.

  I would gladly prove it to you if I could.
