You don't see any difference between God and ghosts? Well, that's your problem right there. I believe in a God because science has, thus far, at least as I'm concerned, failed to explain the origins of the Universe. The Big Bang is right on, for sure, and the earth is far older than the Bible says it is, but I still don't understand how you get something from nothing. Therefore, I believe in a higher being to get the big bang started. In this case, then, it is the lack of solid, scientific evidence that leads me to beleive in a God. Obviously, I don't think science can explain everything, nor does religion. But I see no reason why the two can't work together.
Now, as far as ghosts are concerned, I admitted I have quite limited experience in this field, and in accordance with that limited experience, I have never heard of, seen, or read about any solid physical, scientific evidence to back up the claims of ghosts. Still waiting on solid evidence for bigfoot, the loch ness monster, and ufo's, too. None of which, by the way, falls in the purview of religion. Some religions, perhaps; not mine.
Could ghosts and bigfoot exist? Absolutely. I never said they couldn't exist, only that, as far as I'm concerned, they don't. I could be completely wrong, but until someone turns up some solid evidence to prove me wrong, I stand by my assertions.
And you make it sound as if I told him he was crazy insane or needed to go see a shrink. Not the case at all. Someone before me posted almost the exact same thing.

Now how is that different from what I told him? I told him to get a grasp on the situation and acknowledge that his house isn't haunted.
Stop playing the blame game. If you want to analyze my religious and scientific views, start another thread. Stop threadcrapping with the ad hominem attacks when it has no bearing on his situation.
