Supernatural


Scientists estimate the reliance on objects such supernatural monsters or ghosts has been around since humans were created. But why do humans believe in the supernatural?

"The problem is simple why people want to believe. The human brain is always trying to figure out why something happened and now can not find the reason we tend to create a strange explanation, "said Brian Cronk professor of psychology at Missouri Western State University in the U.S..

In the 2006 study, researchers obtain surprising results. The most educated groups of people such as students also believe in magic, telepathy, or communication with the dead. They also believe the house could be inhabited by ghosts.

Scientists estimate that the belief in the supernatural has been around since man was created. "Although it is difficult to be sure, but the tendency to believe in the paranormal has emerged from a bygone era. What has changed is the content. For example, few people now living who believe in fairies. But when the belief in fairies fade, the belief in UFOs continues to grow, "said Christopher Bader, Baylor sociologis.

'That is the ability of the brain to find out the causes and effects. The ability to predict the future is to make people more intelligent, but also has side effects such as just believe in the paranormal, "said Cronk.

"People start to believe in the supernatural because trying to figure out who could not be explained. This process is similar to the emergence of a myth. At the time people do not understand why the sun rises every day, eventually concluded being pulled in all directions heaven with horse-drawn carriage, "said Benjamin Radford, author of books about the paranormal.

Trust appeared before the modern science can explain. Radford pointed out, humans do not understand how the disease could spread from person to person. They do not know how the babies died at birth, or why a drought could occur. Humans akhirya believe it is caused by the supernatural, "he said.

"All walks of life using the supra natural to describe something that is not understood. Even for this time people believed the disaster or bad luck is caused by witchcraft or a curse, "said Radford.
