As a believer in some alternative beliefs (is that redundant?) I figured I'd put my $0.02 in.

I believe, basically, that science does not and cannot explain all phenomena. Particularly where the mind is concerned, we have not even begun to plumb the depths of what living beings may be capable of. I also believe that we do not know all there is to know about the earth, life, space, time, etc., etc., and that to assume that we do or will is an act of hubris.

However, does this mean i belive in alien abductions? No. Do I think there might be intelligent life on other planets? Maybe. Crop circles? Are weird, i wouldn't presume to have an explanation for them. I do believe in ESP and things of that ilk, because, as i said before, the mind is capable of more than we know.

To sum up, I guess i would say that there are many things that people have experienced or observed which have no "rational" or "scientific" explanation, and I do not assume that everything can necessarily be explained by chemical reactions, mechanics, etc. Or, as Shakespeare said, much more neatly than I've done,

"There are more things in heaven and on earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
