I'm asking honestly out of pure curiosity, because I just don't get it. I can believe in things like radiowaves and atoms because even though we can't see them we manipulate and control them, thus they are real to me. I believe in places I've never seen because of maps and geography and documentaries. But for spirituality, I just don't see the basis.

I look for trends and indicators rather than hard 'proof'. By the time an investor has 'proof', the advantage is gone. You need to look at what is available and make your best guess based on that. NDE's and OBE's are probably as close as you can get to proving spirituality. Psychics and mediums have spotty records, true, but still substantially better than chance. And I've TESTED at least one psychic and found him genuine. Also there are areas of cosmology that indicate the need for a Creator. When science starts running up against God in the first moment of the Big Bang, it is time to pause and consider the possibiilities. Besides, the fringe benefits of belief are to die for!

A new discovery that all Proteins and DNA must have the same
chirality in order to hold the string together. Since when produced in the way you contend they are a 50/50 mixture of the two
optical isomers it becomes clear that random chance process could have never formed these proteins and DNA with their unique chirality.
Chirality is not just a major problem for evolution; it is a dilemma. According to evolution, natural processes must explain everything
over long periods of time. However, the process that forms chirality cannot be explained by natural science in any amount of time.
I hope this helps your education and you give up the impossible thinking of the flawed science of mankind and turn to Jesus Christ.

Most who believe do so because they've had experiences of feeling the presence of such things. It's really a different experience for everyone, which is why you wont really be able to relate or why you dont understand right now. Some are just more opene to the feeling which is why they feel it, because they want to. I am very spiritual because of these kinds of experiences, although Im still trying to figure out what they are and why I have them. It could be my mind tricking me, or it could be real. Good luck!

So you believing in what you have not personally experienced because "authorities" like map makers, scientists, etc. tell you they exist.
But you don't see the basis of believing a something spiritual (for example, God)...something you have not personally experienced when there are spiritual authorities that say there is a God?
Seems like you bias one side and not the other for some reason.
Personally, I don't "believe" in what I have not personally experience. God, spirits, and afterlife (reincarnation) are things I have experienced.

Very clear because you haven't see it, you don't believed in it.?, perhaps you aren't ready to do so, because and although you believed in the Atom, and you think because someone else tall you and perhaps show you the good side about manipulating the Atom, you haven't manipulate me, to believed you have manipulate anything, less the Atom., although your intentions are clear, but Caution, care-full, with trying to manipulate God HIM(God), him-self. Though your approach will be valuable, remember God is a lot more than a simple Atom, because he knows his structure, as well that what he gave you for brains together with the best gift of all, which we best know as Intelligence. So, be Smart if you can't be wise yet, and use the gift of God(Intelligence), out way from Freedom and don't let the balance to till the wrong way, not matter if what you say, (said), or write will seam OK, to some else ears? God bless you in the name of Jesus.Amen.<<100% freedom isn't good), think about it!

I have had so many supernatural experiences, both good and bad, that I started keeping a journal. They actually have slowed down in the last year or so. But I started believing in the Christian God when my grandmother who was in the hospital saw heaven. She described it, you know, an amazing garden, beautiful. But then she started calling out to people, "hi Harry, Hi Ruth." All dead! This woke my sorry butt up let me tell you!
Then I had some dreams that came true. I then started reading the new testament in the bible and it spoke to me, not literally but to my spirit. It made total sense.
After being a christian I've had many many prayers answered. Unusual prayers. I've had someone wake me and so I could help someone. I've also seen spirits, at first I didn't know what they were, I prayed for God to help me understand if they were from him and if they weren't to not let me see them again. I haven't seen them in 4+ years now.
And this is just a few examples. Most you prob. won't believe.
Let me say this to you. If we Christians are right what then? How will you account for your sins to a pure sinless God? Please consider sincerely praying to the true God. Ask Him if he and his son Jesus are real to let you know in some way. He will. I've heard many former atheists stories. Many.

Yes, I believe things exist that are unseen and unknown. What I don't believe is that a genuine deity would have human characteristics like jealousy and spitefulness, or play mind games with living beings.

What ever your beliefs are is what you believe in. If you're brought up with the paranormal then of course you'll be more sensitive and pick up on the ghosts, and spirits. It all depends on what you believe.

Yes, I believe for several reasons...
One, my mother has had many experiences. I never believed her, until...
Two, I had an experience myself in New Orleans. It was not "fun" or "cool". It scared the living heck out of me, and I hope I don't ever repeat the experience.
Thirdly, it is part of my religion....voodooism.

I never used to until I witnessed what my own skeptic brother saw in his 120 year old house on more than one occassion. I saw it once and that was enough for me. It was just plain eerie and was very real!
Hey, we can't expain everything......
