Re: Your beliefs
 
Ghosts - As in Spiritual Beings, Angels - Yes

Aliens - Nope

Heaven/hell - Absolutely

Telepathy - Not Sure

Telekinesis - Not Sure

De Javu or premonition's - Yes

Just an opinion from a Dumb American. And for what it's worth: There are quite a few of American Universities/Colleges that would make a list of some of the tops in the world. Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT), Stanford, The Ivy League Universities (Gag me with that thought!), Johns Hopkins, William and Mary, Cal.Tech, etc.,. Much depends on what area of study one is seeking and at what level i.e. Bachelor of Science, Masters, MD, DVM, PHD etc.

William and Mary is a great school. Beautiful location. I once gave a paper there on editorial problems in the letters of Samuel Richardson. But it is sort of Ivy ... at least Southern Ivy.

Ghosts - Nope when you die you die full stop.

Aliens - There must be some other form of life out there It would be arogance of the highest order not to think so

Heaven/hell - Nope see number 1

Telepathy - Open to persuasion

Telekinesis - See above

De Javu or premonition's - Having read Nostrodamus' prophecies and believe I have experienced Deja Vu, I would say erring on the side of yes.


All the belief/religious sides of these above lead towards an oppressive side i.e. do what we say or you will suffer after you die, (a brilliant way of manipulation as nobody is going to come back and say they were wrong).

All major religions use this and refuse to answer difficult questions of them when asked, hence I am an atheist.

The others are unexplained phenomena to which I am open to persuasion, apart from the alien question which I have to say I do believe exist on a purely mathemetical theorem. Considering the number of stars, the majority of which must have planets, therefore if only 0.01% of the planets are similar to ours then life of some description must exist.

No laureates I'm afraid. It's not the lack of academic excellence, just the fact that most of them die from clogged arteries before they have a chance to really shine:D:D

I can't remember who said it but you made me think of the following quote:

"I would rather live my life believing that there is a God and die to find out that there isn't than live my life believing that there isn't a God and die to find out that there is."

I don't share, but I freely admit that I could be wrong. I hope I guessed right, but the immortality thing, I just don't buy into it. I suppose I have to class myself as un unrepentant existentialist. Maybe I'll spend eternity waiting for Godot:D
