How does science justify debunking mysteries without investigation?
Oct 18th
“Explaining away” without proper investigation explains nothing.
I wish science would stop dismissing the observations of honest witnesses.
Most encounters with the unexplained and unknown happen to people with zero interest or working knowledge of the “mysteries” that they stumble upon.
Weird things do not happen to people because they are “believed in.”
Paranormal things become believed in because they are seen and experienced.
Your failure to understand these events in no way negates their validity.
Heaven help those innocent eyewitnesses who stumble across UFOs and “aliens” or “monsters” or “ghosts.” Our “known” laws of our “reality” OFTEN cease to apply. There will always be More >
