Bro you amuse me, a lot. So whatever scientists say is Truth, you take them all in,hook, line & sinker? Scientists are human like you, they have erred so many times,google is your friend.don't let them define your world, there are million things yet to be discovered.Discover your world, start from around you.
Piss of mate. Scientists offer facts that anyone can verify, so if they support the supernatural they will offer evidence for it. And since they haven't it means there Is no evidence for it. Evidence is what is needed for my belief.

This is a very lazy shrewd mentality, you have the opportunity to discover the evidence yourself, but don't want to! Because scientists have not? Baffling! Very intelligent

Only the ones who perform dramatic 'miracles' regularly. An average pastor could be honest but wrong, just like the average religious person.


Why? Because it's not convincing?
Because, having such personal experience will do that best!

lol, that's your own definition of an Inquisitive mind,And I'l say that fellow must be an Intellectually Lazy fellow, In science,Experience is the best teacher,from Experiments,Laws are deduced, not from Seeking opinions! Or do you think otherwise? And I use 'scientist' here because you people use them as yardsticks to 'being' knowledgeable and Inquisitive.

You sound naive. In scientific research, existing knowledge serve as start point for new knowledge. In social science, research concerning people's beliefs require their opinions.
Do you grab?

Like I said before piss of mate. If the supernatural exist it would have been discovered by now. Instead of remaining in the shadows.

Outright lie.
The dictionary defines anecdotes as
An account which supports an argument, but which is not supported by scientific or statistical analysis.

How can this be used in science. And even in law it isn't much regarded except supported by more evidence.

Scientists speculate without any evidence or statistical analysis backing such speculations. This is why I say anecdotes are used in science.

How can you discover something that lies outside our plane of existence ? Besides even if it hasn't discovered this doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

What makes you believe that their activities are real?

Picture this, my friend rented a house. The landlord had previously told her some inconsistent stories but since she had already paid she felt maybe if she invited someone to share the place with her she would feel better about the place, so she invited me and I accepted.

Soon we began to notice weird things like, at night something kept hitting our roof. It sounded like stones, several stones hitting the roof. Then we would hear all types of weird animal noises, right in front of our house. And as soon as he knew I was not a temporary visitor, he began to attack me physically. Due to these things, especially the noises of stones being thrown at our roof at night we became uneasy.

To cut the long story short, my friend was pressed one afternoon while she slept(after that day, she temporarily deserted the house). This guy lived alone (he had a black cat of course and it cried all night long cheesy) no wife, no kids, no friends, no visitors all year long(except for his gardener who called him MASTER) . He never left his house apart from when he had to go to market to get thngs. He was filled with hatred and looked scary.

FF, after so many weird things someone advised us to pour something around the house, she said if he was really a wizard then he will ask us to move that same day, well after everything we finally moved out by force that night because he threatened to spill blood cheesy We got some military guys to help get our rent back and he paid swiftly.

Outside our plane of existence?
Then how does it have powers to affect things in our plain of existence.
If it's outside it should have no influence and if its inside we would have discovered it.

There are many psychiatric disorders that can make people act strange. I think we mistake this for witchcraft that is why most times it's old people that are labeled as witches/wizards because they are more susceptible to this disorders.

There is nothing witchy about your experience above to me.

So god did not create nocturnal animals? Or what are u implying? Are black cats not natural god's creation anymore? What is special or supernatural about stones being thrown on your roof? Sleep paralysis can happen to anyone you chose to blame your landlord for it doe not make him connected to it.

He was middle-aged, not old. While they were judging the case we kept asking him, what was hitting the roof(where did the stones come from?), only hitting our roof and never his. This happened only when he knew we were home, when I pretended, I wasn't home it never happened cheesy He just kept quiet

Just Google evolution and pnas and see lots of papers on evolution containing speculations. Origin of life s another aspect of science that involves speculations. String theory in physics has no evidence whatsoever except for its mathematical consistency.

Its not in our plane of existence but people are turning to animals and turning other people to rocks, they are cursing some peoples generations and inflicting wickedness on the land. Yet they are outside our existence.
There is no way a witch exist and has not been brought to light with evidence since the dawn of man. If they were real they wouldn't need to even hide with all the magic they could do. They would be as popular and rich as rock stars.
Their magic would have been taught in schools just like in Harry Potter.
But it is all in the mind. It is not real.

No no no, don't get it wrong. I don't like doubting, I love being sure, many "facts" out there are nothing but fabrications aimed to deceive or conceived out of ignorance or paranoia.
So pls don't get offended or feel I aim to discredit you.
So back to the issue. She saw his shadow where? Let's put the whole thing together and arrive at a conclusion. If we go about believing everything wld that make sense to you? So one step at a time pls
