Gates. LOL
With 6 billion people on the planet and more than 50% of them believing in ghosts, you'd think the planet would be flooded with spirit activity.

This is what happens when you open a gate:

have seen and had experiences.   

 They do this because they are frightened.   Because if there really Is something
like this out there... it would change everything they believe in.

 A true scientist takes all data into consideration.  Does not bash/mock others, or other
conceptual possibilities.  Nor are so quick to dismiss data. If that were not true,  half of
what we know today, would still be unknown.

 There is much more out there that human will ever know.   Btw - please tell me
how all this 'Stuff'  in the universe came into existence.   And please dont tell me that
it was Always there...   ;)   :laugh2:

You'll note that at no point have your observations been dismissed.  I am dismissing your statements with a lack of "data'. 

At no point have I written that your ghosts do not exist.  I have simply asked for this data you refer to and stated that experiencing something does not a fact make... nor does telling someone that others share your views or experience.

You also postulate that because someone is challenging a statement you present to be true, that they have all (or any for that matter) the answers.  If you tell me you have 3 apples in your backpack and I ask that you demonstrate your claim, I don't have to know the origins of you, your backpack, or apples to challenge your statement.  Accusing me of being frightened or insisting that others have observed the apples do nothing for your case.

You got one thing right.  I am mocking you.  Also, it is not true that scientists do not mock others.

Scientists allow room for new ideas, but they also do not accept unproven concepts as fact.  Otherwise your biology class would have to teach that storks deliver babies, as well as the conventional theory of where babies come from.  ::)  Science accepts what it can test, and unfortunately, personal anecdotes and voodoo don't qualify as testable data.
