Out of curiosity, I would like to hear what the rest of you think about things that can be classified as ‘Supernatural’ or ‘Paranormal’. As we all know, atheism only encompasses the existence of deities, not necessarily all things ‘mystical’. Do any of my fellow atheists believe in psychic energy, for example? Or perhaps… Karma?
Personally, I do not believe in the existence of anything ‘supernatural’, but I would like to. What I mean is that I think it would be awesome (like totally) if psionic abilities actually existed, for example. I know that there has been “scientific” research into many areas of the ‘paranormal’, but I have never seen or heard anything convincing.
Does anyone believe in any of these things? If so, do you have any compelling evidence to back up that belief?
Don’t even get me started on ‘ultra-science’ (my term), like teleportation or time travel.
