How Does Science Explain Body Possession?

[Devauzamaki]

Let me guess, head trauma, mental disorder? They gotta say thing's along those line's lol.

But how do they explained

a large group of people witnessing a person levitate no strings or anything?


or a female speak a language she never knew or learned in a masculine voice contrary to her own?


1 family in Indiana had something like this happen to them, at first no one believed it of course.

Until the mother, doctor, a officer, and a nurse witness the woman's son walking backwards on the wall (wtf)


idk if it's real or not butttt


i know something's you cant unsee once you see them so quite frankly i wouldnt want to find out if possession is real or not.

Science can't explain these things and most intellectuals won't believe anything they can't see with their own two eyes and dismiss anything that most others witness to have seen as fake, which honestly is why I think so many are atheist imho. Nothing can compare though to actually experiencing the supernatural.

 

[Punk Hazard]

People never say things that aren't true

Scientists never say things aren't true

Had to fix that for you a bit. (I know what you originally meant though )The OP is being a hypocrite and stating opinion over fact. A true scientist will NEVER say something isn't true, just that it hasn't been scientifically proven yet or in theory.

OT: they would probably put into theory that it would border on the lines of ESP or other pychic phanomena which has yet to be explained.

Science can't explain everything anyone arguing otherwise doesn't understand science.

 

[Pukkake Pokayo]

You could give a source?...

Just sounds like wannabe exorcist fans wanting their own documentary.

Anyone can put on a voice or learn a few phrases in a language they aren't fluent in.

Strings exist that are hard to see or are different colours.

Magnets also exist.

Schizophrenia and other mental disorders are a thing.

Could be as simple as that XD

Out of all the people they invited and no priest? :Sparks:

That's the problem. Here you are, rambling and questioning why scientists don't believe in this and that when you don't even know if it's real or not. No buts. You either take a phone, find that exact supernatural situation, record it and then talk. If not then don't question something you've got no clue on.

Most of these "special events" are not documented, so how is science supposed to examine it? Only the words of some random people who claim these things to be true, are irrelevant. What comes next, should we think that Criss Angel can levitate?

There is no such thing like "body possession".

One can only hope. or say so until it happens to them

I wouldn't use science as a basis to define what does and doesn't exist as it doesn't nor can.

Science doesn't dictate what exists nor how things work it is man way of understanding how things work in the universe.


The whole science can't explain it so it isn't real argument doesn't really work.

There are many things that science can't even begin to explain but has happened and been documented before.

That's why there are such things as unexplainable events.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

Actually science explained some undocumented events in the world, both directly and indirectly. The whole idea of instantly labeling some of those events as unscientific, is usually a nice little way of saying "We don't have much info regarding this topic, so it's put on hold until further notice"

OT: There are scientist that are working on that. Science isn't obligated to explain everything, it explains things by applying testd and theories periodically and thus due to the nature of "demon possession" and other ghostly phenomenons it is hard to examine. Still some are working on it and they are actually making process

Science is just another word for how we want to interpret something. There are many things science isn't able to explain.

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

You explain the first one with stupid people and an excellent Magician.

You explain the second one with a great voice actress who secretly knows how to speak french.

And you explain the third one by asking for photographs, then hearing that they were mysteriously destroyed, or their phone was out of charge, or some other crap like that.



Actually, how do you explain the woman speaking in a masculine voice? Surely their vocal cords wouldn't change even if all the demons of hell are controlling them? Or do Demons just subtly alter the bodies of their hosts to change their voice, but not their appearence.
(Replace Demons with Ghosts if that's what you're raving about)

He biggest example and mystery are people who like SasuSaku. #NaruSasu4Lyfe

[Cornson]

mass hysteria, drug inflicted hallucinations, a religious conspiracy to try and convince their world that their god is real by them all telling the same lie, heck even aliens done did it are more plasuble than it being a supernatural event.

As said already, Science isn't obliged to give an answer to everything.
I believe though that if science is to give an answer to this 'Body possession' question, it'll have to find a way to test and prove the existence of 'Demons' something that most definitely isn't possible atm.
Perhaps sometime in future with advances in technology, we might have a spiritual science branch.

Imho though, I do not believe that 100% of all recorded/documented/cases of body possession throughout history are bs. Most definitely are bs but not all imo. For example, the case of Clara Germana Cele is said to have had 170 people(religious&non-religious) who witnessed her levitate.
Also, body possession is mentioned in Buddhism which as far as I know isn't a religion that worships a 'god'
Nevertheless, even though I know science isn't obliged to answer this, I am also eager to see science attempt to.
