I'm referring to gods, demons, clockwork elves, or any other supernatural entities. Even just a great good and/or a great evil.

If you were advancing the argument that these things move through people and influence the world, what would you point to as evidence?

Scientific method requires a controlled environment

What we call reality, the world around us, isn't a controlled environment, by defintion

>Two key concepts in the scientific approach are theory and hypothesis. A theory is used to make predictions about future observations. A hypothesis is a testable prediction that is arrived at logically from a theory. Several types of studies exist within the scientific method— experiments, descriptive studies, case studies, surveys, and non-descriptive studies. In an experiment a researcher manipulates certain variables and measures their effect on other variables in a controlled environment.

Those aren't scientific proof, it's just there

No idea how fake or real this is

what's the most baffling "ghost" vid you have?

What we call reality, the world around us, isn't a controlled environment,

This is indeed true. The system is far too vast to model scientifically. However, the scientific method merely is a technique to help us reject or confirm what we can. Logical reasoning is also a limited method/tool which can help. Also, bayesian and other statistical processes that are not hypothesis related.

Our world, in a scientific sense would have seemingly infinite variables and is unruley to full comprehend. So, it is extremely important what you bring up, as it's most likely unfeasible to fully understand things in our limited biology and psyches.

What the scientific process can provide are bands of what is truth. We can hone in on a subset of the universe (in controlled spaces) to do experiments on how a small part of the system acts. The trick is, what are the right questions? I don't know myself, but it's a place to start.

I often see others grab a concept and contort all other things to correlate with this concept. This results in confirmation bias which is a very real mental state. Only by asking uncomfortable questions and insisting on making sense will we really be able to make better sense.

We don't know what is happening under the camera. Pulling that shelf on the right would also move the sign and look like the room shakes. It could be something else. I don't know what for sure has happened there, just providing challenging questions. We could test against them and see if they are rejectable.

I honestly don't know. That was interesting.

Not to be a pain in the butt, but does prove Bill Hader is a shape shifter? :)
