Belief in odd things that cannot be proven?

They can't bear the thought that they are no more special than an insect. They fear death and a hope that death is not the end comforts them. Brainwashed fools

It's easy, no one can dispute the fact that I don't know something when I in fact don't. Admitting you do not know a thing when you don't is the highest form of truth there is. Assumption of truth with out proof is irrational.

Anything's possible.  This is where Occam's Razor comes in quite handy.

It means they are uncertain or cannot be proven.

You can't tell for sure. Just like God, ghosts can neither be proven nor disproven. It's something many people believe, but there is no verifiable evidence either way.

Things that exist leave material records. The question is whether or not you trust the sorts of records on offer. And I don't trust them. What would settle the question is the same sorts of things that settle it on other animals? Did T Rex exist? Here's the bones. Is there a cheetah in these woods? Here's the scat and hair, here's the den, here's the impression of it's teeth on a kill....\n\nSo, you get the picture. As long as a thing cannot be shown to exist with believable evidence it is considered to not exist yet. Should we keep looking? Sure. Why not? A walk in the woods is good for the digestion. But save the opinion making until there is clear and convincing evidence.

If a theory can be proven, then it becomes a proven fact.  I suspect you'll find a lot of denial, even if someone could prove theories like this.

How is it rational to say with certainty that something does exist when the possibility will always remain that it does not?\n\nNOT believing is what atheism means.

Yes. That's the trouble with BELIEF. You accept something on faith, whether it makes sense or whether there's any proof at all.

ther are some things in life that you can not prove.\n\nwhat kind of stuff do thay say to you, and what do thay do to you.

No One Knows. Plenty of people can choose theories they agree with, and can provide evidence of them,(in some cases), But no one has any irrefutable proof. You'll have to decide on your own.

definitely not. the reason why some of these superstions seems to be true is because people believe on it. when people start to believe on something, they actually based their actions and act according to what they believe unconciously. and when something happened according to the superstition, they usually explain things the way they believe on it.

Philosophers have wrangled with this question for centuries and I comes down to this:  You simply cannot prove that you exist.  You can't even prove that the outside world exists.  After all, 'you' could just be a brain in a vat somewhere being stimulated by electrodes that make you 'see', 'feel', and 'touch'.  What philosophers have come up with is the concept of a "Properly Basic Belief".  It means that if there is no evidence whatsoever to the contrary, then you can probably safely assume that it's true.  However, that doesn't mean you can prove it.  And of course you have to be open to the possibility that evidence may turn up at some time.  So until there is evidence that I don't exist, I'll stick with the philosophers and say it's a "Properly Basic Belief" that I exist.  And of course, there's the old standby of "I think, therefore I am."

What evidence might that be?

Although I'm a med student and probably shouldn't say this, yes, I do believe. Sometimes things have happened that just have no logical explanation, and three times I've seen or heard things that just couldn't be there

Believing is one thing.  Knowing is another.  As most people have said in here, yes you can believe in whatever you want.  That doesn't make it the truth.  And NO, not everyone has to believe in something.  What everyone should have is the knowledge of the truth and the openmindedness to receive the truth.  Not mumbo jumbo from books that you just accept as your truth.

Currently, we conclusively know of no such thing.  The majority of the scientific community thinks it unprobable that there ever was such a thing.\n\nIt is not an entirley impossible concept.  We see stranger things in nature.
