Yes, I watched the Nova special about static on my TV as evidence of the Big Bang...

but still, Science has NO IDEA what came before the event they call the Big Bang...No idea why, no idea how, maybe some idea of when..

...if one is suppose to BELIEVE in something that is still so fantastic and unknown...why is it SO outragous to believe there are many things existing that are not able to be proven by humans' science?

Before the big bang is a bit of a misleading concept. Its like asking whats north of the north pole. Time didnt exist according to the theory. At least not as we can understand it. If you really want to cook your melon try to get your brain wrapped around String Theory. Just as strange as ghosts!
Unknown is an answer. Unknown means we haven't figured it out yet. Unexplained is a legitimate answer. But it is a leap in logic to apply an explanation to something that is unexplained. It is irresponsible. Ghosts seem to have many plausible and more likely explanations than the fantastic in my opinion.
Measurable phenomenon like the cosmic background radiation is at least something you can measure and verify, theories for its existence can then be raised. Ghosts do not meet any scientific criteria yet. Look I would love it to be true. It would be amazing, drop dead amazing. pun intended.
Because of the massive ramifications don't you think it should be proven scientifically first? If people believe so strongly that it is indeed real, why not go that next step and work hard at finding the scientific proof? Not just stories around the campfire and halfbaked self proclaimed "parapsychologists".
I run seti@home software on my PC looking through data from the radio observatory in Puerto Rico for alien signals. I would love it if all the UFO stuff were true. But because it is so important to me. I want that proof. Nobody has come forth with it yet. And it is the hard way no question. Its going to take hard work and time, a loong time. But here I am, running the software, helping to look for the proof that will change the world. Because I feel its that important.
