In reply to: What about aliens? Yes, but not the green, slanted eye ones. I find it hard to believe that we are the only life form in the entire universe.
-
I believe in all apart from heaven and hell. And roc.. that story made me shudder!!
-
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes!!!!!Somehow, I became a very positive person

Thats the one thing I do belive in. I belive that life exists on other planets some fucking place in the universe, I dont think they are here on earth probing rectums and sniffing the instraments.

I believe in 1 and 4.... 4 is really really disturbing. I sort of believe in a psychic because last time we went on a school trip for a week, we saw this "professional" psycho I mean psychic. She said something about getting an Mp3 player and instead I got an Ipod Nano 2 weeks and 3 days later. Whatever that means.
-
that doesnt necessarily mean anything she couldve just looked at the amount of mp3s sold
-
i belive in everything exept heaven/hell. thats crap. theres pretty much proof of everything BUT that.
-
I believe they're all possible.

I don't believe in any of the above. I believe in the amazing powers of rational/irrational thinking to immitate psychic behaviour by predicting the future, but to think of it in a supernatural sense doesn't do it for me.Interestingly enough, I had a conversation that relates well to this topic with a teacher and a couple friends I was rooming with during the music festival we were at last week. It was about what the mind really is. The teacher was saying how he believes in having a soul and there being a place for his soul in the end. Unfortunately I was sleeping through most of the time this was being talked about with him and just caught the end of that discussion. One of my friends, James, believes everything is physical and we are only what our physical being and chemical processes make us. The connections of neurons in our brains create a complex web of memories and ways of interacting with our environment that create who we are. The other friend, Adam, took a similar but not quite as cold and unquestioning way of approaching it. They are both planning on being engineers and are very intelligent, logical, people. Their views seem the most likely by what we know scientifically, but who really knows. There is so much that we don't know as a society that it's impossible to draw upon a conclusive answer to what the mind is.I have a very agnostic approach, refusing to accept one side and continually questioning. Although I do lean more to the logical rather than spiritual approach about how our physical being is what we are. The problem is that it doesn't feel like my mind is just a bunch of neurons that interact through nerves and chemicals. But at the same time, I don't feel like my arm is moved by microscopic proteins that interact with each other in long multicellular fibers but that is the way it is. I believe that our mind is most likely composed of just what physically makes up our brain, and breakthroughs in neuroscience seem to *scientifically prove that theory of the complexities of upper brain (cerebrum) activitiy allowing us to perceive ourselves in the way that we do.*Note that scientific proves are prone to being reevaluated or disproven and are only the best scientific way of describing something at the time of their conception.

In reply to:
i definetly believe in physics
Yes I believe in physics too! Go gravity!
Psychics, on the other hand, I'm a bit more skeptical about :P.

What is your thoughts about people only being able to use about 10% of their brain. Perhaps psychic ability is stored somewhere in the other 90% ?I don't dismiss many things like this because there are quite a few things that science is yet unable to explain. Will they ever be able to explain it? Maybe... Maybe not. My attitude is this; God, after life, heaven, hell, I don't know for sure so I won't dismiss it. I'll just have to die to find out now won't I.

That number is an old estimate and doesn't seem to be true. Many lower thought processes are instaneous and controlled by parts of our brain that handle these automatic process such as balance, motor functions, breathing, the beating of the heart. They can be controlled, and there are people such as Buddhist monks, who have trained so that they can voluntarily reduce their heart rate to the point where they are in a point where they should be technically dead (but they slow down their entire bodies).83% of our brain is the cerebrum which we can voluntarily control at any time. The trick is that we only use at most about ~10% at any one time unless we are excellent multi taskers. If we could use more than we would be excellent at doing complicated and multi focusing tasks, but that doesn't mean it would make a person psychic. It may make them able to make more complex and accurate predictions based upon being able to use a greater portion of the brain at once, but I doubt that would lead to psychic potential.
