Darnell: *nods* I'll point you in the direction of some internet materials you can go through, too. I think that'd be a really good use of your time while I'm asleep tonight. *pulls a breath, casting for where to begin* Throughout human history, pretty much all cultures believed - and many still do - in things that don't exist in the material world, that aren't manifest in a physical way. Ghosts, spirit and animal guides, angels, gods and goddesses. Don't look too closely into who says what's real and what's not - humanity also has a confusing knack for clinging to contradictions too. Pure logic would say "if A, then also B", but you'll find plenty of instances where people will argue A but /not/ B, for a variety of reasons. Spiritual and religious beliefs are funny things that way. But anyway . . . along came the Age of Reason, when the sciences became the End-All, Be-All across Europe. "Primitive beliefs" were cast aside for what was "real," what could be measured, proven, repeated with accuracy. Anything that science couldn't explain got shunted aside called "supernatural," "paranormal," and not actually real. *CLEARLY has more to say, but he'll pause at that and glance over at Connor* With me so far?
