fairyworld14 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 My lovely Dad passed away November 2011 ! But he adored Spitfires & my brother used to draw them all the time ! Well ! My brother had a painting in a frame hanging on his wall .When he came in the picture was on the heating radiator despite the heating not being on & just the picture was on the radiator and all the frame was in tact ! Mum had trouble putting the picture in the frame in the first place & Dad was there at the time they were trying to fit it in ! They were even thinking of cutting off the caption that came with it but Dad says No its too nice ! So when my brother told me about it I started laughing cos it is so like Dad. This has now happened 3 times & Mum has stopped putting it in a frame ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddywolf Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I don't believe in such things, but I won't try and convince others to change their thoughts if they happen too. If people see connections in their daily lives to their dead loved ones and have a hearty upbeat feeling because of it I wouldn't want to try and spoil it or try and disprove it.

If it helps and doing no-one any harm then live and let live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodmally Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'm non religeous but do believe in ghosts. Due to the theory energy can be neither created nor destroyed meerly transformed from one form to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereolab Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'm non religeous but do believe in ghosts. Due to the theory energy can be neither created nor destroyed meerly transformed from one form to another. You mean the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics - and that's actually proof that ghosts cannot exist.

E-Man Groovin Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 You mean the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics - and that's actually proof that ghosts cannot exist. Lol! I'm not getting into the debate about whether ghosts do or do not exist. But this absolute faith in current science is touching. I'm a student of Thomas Kuhn (The Structure Of Scientific Revolutions, 1970) and am of the view that it's a bit more complex than that. Firstly no scientific theory is proof that something is true. Experiments in good science should try to show that the theory is false. If this fails it means that currently the theory passes muster. But at some later stage it could be proved false; Observation once showed that all swans were white - until they found black swans in some newly discovered part of the world. So here's the illustrious roll-call of theories that once were "truth" which longer are: Ptolemaic astronomy (superceded by Copernicus), the phlogiston theory of combustion (superceded by the discovery of Oxygen), Newton's laws (superceded by Einstein) etc. So really current science is only right until it is proven wrong, which it usually is somewhere down the line. Newton and even Shakespeare realised this. 'I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.' 'There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' (Hamlet) So keep your minds open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
