Things Disbelief believes in

We sometimes tend to unconsciously refer to skepticism / disbelief as the default science-based normal outlook.

Well, it isn't science-based anymore since the early 19th century (see Quantum Physics), and it is not a normal default outlook, it is a belief, just a belief, a belief which has no logical grounds, no solid arguments supporting it and no backing in daily expeience.

So if it is yet another belief, I decided to initiate this list of the things disbelief believes in. It sounds a bit confusing in the beginning (disbelief-believes), but this way it dispels the mighty importance disbelief / skepticism enjoys these days in our so materialistic world.

Please add more...

* Reality is totally objective. I, the observer, as no influence, whatsoever on reality by the mere observation.

*Only what I perceive with my senses is true, i.e. really exists.

* Everything is accidental, random, arbitrary.

* There are only material objects, everything is materialistic or directly originates from material.

* The only connection possible between objects is a physical materialistic connection, thus all objects, including human bodies and minds, are isolated islands.

* I am the body. I sprouted accidentally in this body as a phantom when it was born and I will vanish completely when the body dies, no mater what meaning I give to this entity "I".

* Every event is a product of physical cause and effect.

* There is nothing supernatural, i.e. beyond the thesis of the old cause-effect Newton-based Physics.

* The skeptic approach can explain anything.

No paranormal, only psychology

There are no paranormal occurances and if you experience such then these are mental illusions generated by your somewhat shaky psychological condition...

No god, no spirits, no ghosts

No way there is a omnipotent omnipresent omniscience being (referred to sometimes by the name "god").

No way there are spirits, ghosts, bodiless conscious entities.

:-)))

Enlightenment is a myth

* All these enlightened gurus are crooks... You cannot go beyond the mind...

(I love this project, it evaporates so much accumulated tension...)

Oh two more...

* There are only these 3 spatial dimensions perceived by the human senses. No other dimensions...

* And time exists independently, no way it is just within the mind...

Reiky and Healing

* Reiky and healing are bullshit. It's all psychological suggestion.

* Channeling and soothsaying are also bullshit.
