Re: How could you know something is unexplanable
Purple Youko
I am more inclined to think that maybe these whatever-they-ares are a completely unknown non-corporeal life form that is able to interact with our universe to some degree through something akin to ESP of Telekinesis.
I don't mean to sound snide but could that sentence be any more obtuse? Whatever-they-ares,unknown non-corporeal and interact with our universe.What do you define non-corporeal to mean?
Esp and telekenisis have never been shown demonstrated to be observable under controlled conditions but if you have some evidence that would back up these supposed powers please see if you can get a study done on it.

Re: How could you know something is unexplanable
Well I would need some more background as concerns the ESP and telekenisis however you state in one post the following.
However, as stated previously, I have also encountered what I beleive to be non-corporeal entities (spirits) many times.
I will assume,for the moment,that by encountered you actually saw these entities? If so then they are amenable to scientific investigation since light waves are required to stimulate your sight.Anything outside of your own brains states that are capable of producing an image necesitate the use of a light source.An incorporeal entity implies being incapable of such a phenomena.Have I misunderstood what you mean here?

Re: How could you know something is unexplanable
Phatboy
Apparantly, all U.F.O. and Unidentifiable Phenomenon are by definition unobservable under all controlled conditions EXCEPT personal observation at the time. I have been at places where the same supernatural event
(or perceived as such)
was witnessed by more than one person, but nailing the proof so as to win the $100,000 provable hoax prize has as yet to occur.
The appearence of such phenomena is of course subject to many explanations and of course a person is entitled to their opinion, yet there were recent shows on T.V. that give a good example of the interplay of phenomena that have been debunked over and over and yet like the Kennedy asssasination still drum up new angles through the generations.One concerned the Roswell crash back in The '40,s and the other was about crop circles.
The point that I once heard raised concerns this. Consider a race advanced enough to venture into space.Reagrdless of whatever the social structure of this alien race spacefaring from even the next nearest star by any means is an expensive,let me repeat that for proper emphasis, EXPENSIVE IN THE EXTREMEventure.Now after the unbelievebly intricate delicasy of travel across unimaginable gulfs of space these aliens of superior intellect and technical prowess crash when they get here or in the other case find it necessary to leave geometrical diagrams in fields of cereal.
Perhaps I am being thick but I think given the level of poor imagination demonstrated by these aliens would it actually be a good idea to even bother trying to find them?
