Didn't vote. I don't know.

Wishful thinking can create anything, so wait until the ghosts show up and I will answer.

LOADED QUESTION.

False Reasoning because your response could not be proven while the phenomena of "Ghosts" could be proven. I would say "FALSE CAUSE" but there is a missing initial point.

I used to think of ghosts in a non religious way, but truthfully, the concept is no less feasible or credible than skydaddy.
All these myths and stories of ghosts ...meh, I can see right through them.

Your response is more reasonable than the others. Well, I had your conclusions before but I have seen enough evidence to suggest otherwise. The reason is because things have happened but I think it may be from the people themselves and other phenomena.

I did not vote either. I may vote later because there is evidence of some type of phenomena. I have seen UFOs so I am probably leaning into that area.

Wait OP, are you genuinely asserting that the fact that ghosts exist disproves something? I had this down as a jokey thread but I'm as perplexed as others about the responses?

Wait, I should have had the option..."THERE ARE NO GHOSTS". However, some people have experienced them. But I started to think...there are many people murdered in several cities but yet these cities are NOT ..."Ghost" infested !!! So, I started to think probably they are simply false operations or a separate entity altogether. By the way, if they were only "bad" people(who died and stayed on earth to haunt people) then this Earth would also be "ghostly" infested.

Therefore, it is possible that these are separate entities pretending to be "ghosts"(of past people) or malevolent ETs using some sort of technology to scare off people from certain areas or using a technology to test on human beings.

So, there have to be "ghosts" because some people see them and some do not! Again, if there were "dead" people as "ghosts" this planet would be TOTALLY haunted.

False reasoning. The existence of "ghosts" does NOT necessarily mean that there is a Creator(look at my poll options). Your confusing the definition or creating a false cause to your statement(of course missing premises).

Nnno...I was simply highlighting the fact that your reasoning is commonly used by a lot of theists.

My reasoning does not lead to the FINAL conclusion that there is a creator. A believing "theist" does not create an argument for the DOUBT of a creator. Only an agnostic or an atheist creates the doubt for a creator.
