Do you believe in Angels? I can think of a few songs which pose that question. We believe in all sorts of beings which we've never seen, or at least, the majority of society has never been able to prove to have seen. What make an angel any more plausable then a fairy or an extra-terrestrial? Ghosts are popular visiters too. ghostly beings seem like big money makers on popular television channels such as Discovery and The History Channel.
There is a phenomenon that happens to us self-loving creatures, where when we see two dots underscored by another, we imagine we see a face. If you look at some old photographs, you may be tempted to shout, "Look, I see a face." Somewhere in us, we are hardwired to see human-like faces. On the same token, knowing something else exists helps us to continue living our short life spans knowing there may be something bigger and less physical. So, in short, we have a tendency to believe in human-like beings we've never fully seen.
So, I'm wondering, if someone believes in, say, ghosts, but not angels, or believes in any strange phenomenon but not the other, then, well, why?
