A friend and I are arguing over ghosts.

I think it’s akin to astrology, homeopathy and palm reading. He says there’s “convincing “ evidence for its existence. He also took up company time to make a meme to illustrate our relative positions. (See image)

(To be fair, I’m also on the clock right now)

What do you think?

    He actually believes that ghosts exist while proclaiming to be an atheist who thinks the scientific method is flawed. He’s pretty retarded and we’re pointing it out.

      I think I’m the guy you’re referring to. I don’t think the scientific method is flawed.

        I think you actually can make a reasonable scientific case for the existence of the supernatural

        Can you explain how you would use the scientific method on the supernatural?

          The same way you would on with else. You collect data, try to construct theories, test your hypothesis, etc.

          Also, I was just using ‘supernatural’ as a shorthand here. If these phenomena are real then they would be part of nature and therefore natural
