fuck you, baseball rally caps work goddammit. and my jamaal charles jersey is cursed. there's a reason the chiefs lost the divisional round against the pats this year
 
Dead serious? Sasquatch and the lochness monster are totally real, I will belive so Until something definitively says otherwise. I also knownfor a fact that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe.
 
Should probably add my own one here.

I believe in time travel, of some description.

The reason, Deja Vu. And I don't really mean in The Matrix sense or anything. I got deja vu A LOT when I was younger and it has tapered off but every now and again I get the feeling. To me deja vu is when I dream about myself in the first person, so in my dream I basically am me doing whatever it is I'm doing, experiencing that moment in the dream EXACTLY the way I experience it when that time eventually rolls around. This has been weeks, usually months, and sometimes I'm sure years apart.

Now when I say my dream is exactly the same as when that time occurs I really mean that. I get that weird deja vu feeling in the dream, I get the feeling of "AHA I dreamt this" in the dream itself. It's like a weird feedback loop. I always pause and have that thought "this was that dream".

The most annoying aspect of this is that I've never dreamt lucidly enough of the events I was taking part in to remember or write anything down beforehand. Immediately that pricks up the ears of the cynics I'm sure. But I know what has happened to me many many times, the realisation of having dreamt the events before (and it's usually mundane shit, nothing earth shattering like watching 9/11 unfolding or anything).

The periods of deja vu only ever last for a few brief seconds and then it fades out. I just know know KNOW this has happened to me. My theory is something like: time as we know it will/is/has happened simultaneously, the entire existence of the universe technically happens altogether if you can view from outside of the dimension of time itself. And somehow the brain can maybe tap into a future/past self's consciousness simultaneously. Scientists believe in multiple realities and quantum physics can be very mind bending, so why the hell not. All I know is I believe it, but I can't prove it. I've spoken to a few people in the past who've said they experienced similar things.

Who knows!

Well, it *is* one of the largest groupings of beliefs absent or in spite of contrary evidence, so of course it's an expected answer...
 
The answer I want to give is, life on other planets. I mean, duh.

The real answer is probably a long list of things I'm not self-aware enough to realize.

I personally think the concept of "karma" is a state of mind, do actions you think are good and you'll feel good and that will allow you to focus more on the good things on your life, you'll feel like only good things are happening to you.

Do evil and you'll feel bad, remorseful and paranoid, you'll focus on the negative parts of your life and you'll feel like everyone and everything is out to get you.

In either case you'll still experience good and bad things, but your state of mind will dictate how you feel about it.
 
I believe in Karma.

I also believe that there's a world/parralel dimension where all creatures of legends, myths, mythology, gods, monsters with powers, where forgotten objects end up in, etc. live and where everything is possible.
 
God. Wait, no.

I think I'm mostly nihilistic, pessimistic and realistic. Without proof something does not exist.

I believe that there's life outside of our solar system though. I guess that's the proof of godless universe to me.
 
Ghosts and Spirits. Goes against my logical brain but I think people leave behind some kind of mark on the world and the things they interact with. You get a lemon because the sum total of the people working on that car had a bad day. Kind of like that. It might not even be a real spiritual entity, but the causality of your life and acts effect the things around you and those things carry that mark. They have personalities.

Now that ghost hunting stuff on TV? That's bullshit.
 
I believe theories of physics aren't universal and/or valid on all circumstances. due to one thing: Everything we perceive, see and can prove on earth is limited by our size,

For example, when we say "this galaxy is 3 billion light years across", that's relative to us, meaning, we are just too small to comprehend galaxies. That's impossibly big for us but what exactly is preventing a random big-ass star of hosting a planet a billion times the size our planet and having humans (or a variation thereof) a billion times our size?? wouldn't their observable universe be incredibly larger than ours? if we were "bigger" we would just realize there's no end to the reality in which we are.

I think there are no limits to the size of the universe (which should really be called omniverse) and there's also no limit to how small something can be. After the planck length, it goes on smaller and smaller, and after the observable universe, the omniverse continues.

and I also I think a conscious being is responsible for the Big bang. I thinks it's bullshit the line "This one, single event that produced all there is and has been, it just happened out of nowhere".

Bigfoot.


Like the idea of these giant hairy humanoid monsters running around NA is great but there's like 0% chance they're actually real.


EDIT: No one else said bigfoot, I'm sad.

Nah, I'm with you, though I think if it's out there it's more of an elemental/nature spirit instead of an actual bipedal hominid roaming the forests and mountains of the world.

I also believe in ghosts, due to repeated encounters on an old Army base I lived on including seeing an old woman float through my doorway and out of the second-story wall in my bedroom.

I wouldn't say I "believe" in this concept necessarily, but the concept of parallel universes fascinates me. My dreams are so consistent and real that I would not be shocked if it was discovered that when I sleep, I'm experiencing the life of another me in a parallel world, and they're experiencing my life when they sleep. I've had recurring and continued dreams for as long as I can remember, and they're in a persistent and continuous world just like ours but with very minor changes.

I dunno, that probably sounds stupid from the outside looking in.

I believe there's life on other planets that we have yet to discover. Though it can be argued there is evidence of the plausibility. That might be my whole list...

I used to believe in Santa like most kids.

What do you believe in despite no evidence? And by evidence I mean like information that a scientifically supportable consensus stems from I think

I don't really think the santa one applies, because as a kid there is a ton of "evidence" that proves santa exists. The news covers santas journey, the presents just appear at your house and your parents re-affirm that. It's not blind faith, all signs point to him being real based on your reality as a child.

Karma. I genuinely believe that what goes around comes around. Good or bad.

Have you heard of physics and the square cube law, a planet a billion times larger would collapse upon itself, and galaxies aren't 3% of the size of the observable universe

The universe is named the universe because all that there is exists inside of it, it's everything.

The OBSERVABLE universe is what we can see, what we cannot observe is still inside the universe. If we suddenly gained the tech. to see that our observable universe is actually a marble in an alien kid's marble bag then that whole alien kid's world and universe now becomes part of our observable universe, not a separate universe or multiverse

what created the consious being
 
There's probably some stuff, since humans tend to do that, but I'm not that aware enough of my own cognitive dissonances to make a list right now.
 
OP nailed it. I believe we aren't the only form of life in the universe.

It's just immensely big and vast for us to be the only for of life.
 
Aliens has already been mentioned, but other people have pointed out that it's not really the best example.

I would offer parallel universes or 'the-universe-is-a-simulation'. String Theory is basically metaphysics.
 
Believing that the best is yet to come. there is no evidence that that will actually be true but I would like to think there are some telling signs that it will be true. Perhaps more than anything it is the longing for a better future which is the strongest player in this non-evidenced based belief. I've hit some really rough patches. Was able to work my way through them, even if some took a long time. I feel like my next chapter in life is going to be defining and it's going to set me on the "right" track if you will.

I don't believe in karma as is. More like I've seen some heinous people end up in bad situations or death and thought to myself, "karma".
 
God. Believing in God without evidence is pretty much the basis of faith. Although if you ask me, I see evidence of God when I see the beauty and harmony in the world and beyond.
 
Crows have mysterious powers and fucking around with them is inviting dark forces to act against you.

Was driving down the road a few months ago and saw dozens and dozens of them flying in one direction. Nearly went off the road cause I figured The End was approaching.
