There have been theories about the paranormal since cavemen first recorded their ghostly encounters alongside their drawings of animals and hunters. Both religious and scientific theories have collided as well as cohered for as long as man first began recording his own independent thoughts on the nature of the world around him. Who is right? What are the implications? I wish I knew the answer but after years of studying both sides I think I may be on to something. If I may be so bold as to ask you to indulge me I would like to explore what I have found with you.

Put simply I think their BOTH right. How could that possibly be? If you are a religious person then I am sure you are aware that Genesis describes quite clearly the scientific process of how rain works. It decribes condensation, evaporation, etc. There are also numerous other instances where the Bible refers to how some of the Lords wonderous creations function. Right there we start to have a marriage between science and religion, but wait.....I'm not heading exactly where you think I am with this.....

Most religious people do not believe in abortion correct? The general thinking is the moment you conceive your child has a soul. Ok, lets run with this. Unfortunately we cannot deny the fact that many children do not develop correctly one way or another in the womb. They may develop an array of conditions due to the slightest error in any gene and statistics back that up. Something went awry with the Lords miracle of life as happens with all aspects of nature. So why can nothing go awry with death? Because God just couldn't do that to us? Why not? It happens with the most innocent and vulnerable of life. The Lord protects babies and fools as the saying goes but that just isnt true is it? Its horrific to think the struggles some of these children suffer before their even born..... So why would we spared these sort of things in death? One might argue, "The Lord works in mysterious ways and that childs fate was mapped out", so why then does Gods fate not apply in death?

I just want to clarify that I do not believe all spirit activity is caused by souls that are lost, ie I dont want people who have been visited by dead relatives to think I am saying they are somehow in need of help.

Most modern day organized religions believe in at least some sort of paranormal activity, and many Christian based philosphies state that all forms of paranormal activity is the trickery of demonic forces trying to put doubt in our
