This should really worry you then ;)
Okay, a ghost story...after this there won't be any doubt in anyone's mind that I'm a bit off kilter. :)
Now, take a deep breath because this is going to be fun!
People say that they do not believe in ghosts, yet I do not know one person who doesn't believe in ghosts. We use numbers and letters, and believe in gravity. The laws of physics and logic...these are all ghosts! Yet everyday we use them and believe in them, and we don't think twice about it. To us they seem real.
The question is, did any of these things exist before they were discovered? Did gravity truly exist before the 17th century when Isaac Newton discovered it? If you say yes, gravity existed before then, then answer me this.....If it did exist before the sun, moon, stars, earth, etc. and was just sitting there. Having no mass of it's own, no energy and in no one's mind because there wasn't anyone, and just sitting out in space - before there was space - did it truly exist?
If it did exist then how would you define nonexistance? There is every reason to believe that it was nonexistant and no reason to think that it did exist, yet it's common sense to believe that it did exist. The law of gravity exists no where but in your head, that's the only logical conclusion! Thus it's a ghost!
To quote a rather good book: "Laws of nature are human inventions, like ghosts. Laws of logic, of mathematics are also human inventions. like ghosts. The whole blessed thing is a human invention, including the idea that it isn't a human invention. The world has no existence whatsoever outside them human imagination. It's all a ghost, and in antiquity was so recognized as a ghost, the whole blessed world we live in. It's run by ghosts. Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of ghost. Ghosts and more ghosts."
