Spiritual energy as in the energy that allows ghosts, souls and fortune telling acceptable as theory in modern physics. (No I have not thought of such a theory) Also Luck.
I think of Aliens as statically proven, as should every atheist.

You decide
What are you looking at now?
God. i can't but believe in a personal god. Something to pray to when my ass is on the line. Something to look up to and say "really?" when random chance completely screws me over.
Other then that, obviously I believe life HAS to exist in at least one other place beside Earth. Come on now. Off course aliens exist.

Ghosts.
Just what I believe happens when you pop your clogs. Hang about in invisible, spooky form just waiting to be Busted.
Also, fairies. Not really sure why, it's something I got in my head that they're always hiding behind flowers and stuff. The notion just never went away.
Wow, now I think about it, I was a flamboyant little kid...

The random number generator god? Or the Sims-player god? I would prefer the Almighty Dice God over the Omnipotent Sadist God myself.RogerKevin said:

Also, Loch Ness monster, Kraken, Chupacabra and Bigfoot. Basically any cryptozoological creature I like to believe in. It's just fun.
And, this;
Seriously, either that's Cthulhu, the Cloverfield monster, or something else enormous lurks down there D:
Yep, and in a few thousand years kids will be reading a Christian Bible and say "people believed this???"thaluikhain said:
All gods share the same fate. Yaweh is just as likely to exist as Zeus is.
OT: Life on other planets. Nothing supernatural, but there's no way in hell that this is the only planet that can support life. There's probably one in every few solar systems. I'm not talking about ET phone home crap, but anyone who believes that life is so "special" that ONE planet can possess 100% of the life in the entire universe is a fool.
Well, the theory was posed by a linguist who was translating the Iliad. He noticed the mention of a sea dark as red wine (not your every day mediteranian) and misty days. The extensive use of charriots, the practise of using two champions to settle a fight, saving both armies. Things like that. This got him to wonder whether the Achaeans (often translated to Greeks) might not be Greek, but of Celtic origin. Other factors come into play, like the tradition of the long epic songs by bards to convey history (read: the Iliad).Sigmar ov The Hammer said:
There's a whole book about the thing. Some assumptions are wilder than others: in the second half, concerning the Odyssey, he has a theory that that whole story is a map to travel to America and back, but he also brings some interesting arguments.
One of the strongest arguments for me were the names of the rivers described in the Iliad as surounding Troy in certain directions. Since names of rivers in europe often date back to very ancient times (the Romans were a practical people, why find a new name for a river if the people you've just decimated already had a perfectly recyclable one), the fact that there are 12 rivers described in the Iliad with a position relative to Troy and the fact that they can be located around an old hillfort in Cambridge, England (across the channel for the Achaeans), I got intrigued. Most fo the names were quite recognisable: Rhesus had turned into Rhee, Rhodius into Roding, Temes into Thames, Simoïs and Satinoïs into Great Ouse and Little Ouse respectively and so on.
To make a long story short (remember, he was able to write a whole book about it all): if I have to chose between archeologists that went looking in the mediteranian by default, where I'm sure plenty of ruined cities still remain hidden, or the speculations (which they are) above, I'm going with the zany speculations for once.
The fact that it all happened over 3000 years ago makes it not that big of an everyday issue in any case. At worst a bad dinner party conversation.
I believe in genetic manipulation and human cloning! It is illegal and has never been done on record but because it's possible I'm sure someone, somewhere has or is about to clone the first human. Because if it's is empirically possible it's in human nature to be done at some point! We're curious bastards
Yeah, I'm going to have to call flawed logic on this one. There's a dragon in the room because it's dark and you can't see it?interspark said:
As for the minotaur thing, no that doesn't work. As I'm sure some people have already said you need to be within the same genus to produce an offspring, although most likely an infertile one.
OT: I don't really believe in many things that don't officially exist, because there are generally good reasons why they don't officially exist. The closest I'd come to saying is that there's a possibility of intelligent alien life. However, I don't believe that they'd be close enough or advanced enough to be able to communicate with us so they might as well not exist.
I'm not sure if you watched the video (or read up on the Bloop at all) but the thing that makes it interesting is that the sound itself is so loud as to be heard 5000 km away, far louder than the sounds made by a blue whale. If "something blew a bubble underwater" it was BIG.conflictofinterests said:

Do aliens count?
And I don't mean single celled microorganisms, I'm talking 3rd Rock from the Sun, dammit.
