My five year old son came in and told me that he’d been dancing with the ghost of Kurt Cobain.
I sat down with him and explained there has never ever been a shred of proof that ghosts exist. Furthermore, I said, only the gullible and those that have mandates to substantiate the afterlife believe in ghosts and the paranormal. For some people, it’s easier to just say that something is caused by supernatural forces, rather than to actually think about things, to do a little research or even perform an experiment… to actually find out what the cause of something is.
So what do we do? Do we rewrite every book on science, physics and biology to support the wild claims of a few people who have never actually proven any in any scientific way? Or, do we simply disregard these claims as the result of the inner workings of these people’s imaginations, and rely on thousands of years of human observation, and hundreds of years of compounded, unrefuted scientific knowledge? You tell me.
My five year old son looked at me for a long moment, and then said “Oh well, whatever, nevermind”.
Maybe he had been dancing with Kurt Cobain after all. What do I know?
