Why do people have such a hard time believing in anything 'paranormal'

You said it yourself - it's a matter of belief. There's no actual evidence to support it, so like gods, it comes down to belief. You believe or you don't. But there's no reason to believe. It really doesn't matter what you believe; if you can't prove yourself right, there's no reason for anyone to accept it, no matter how much you wish they would. Police officers are not astronomers; they don't know any more about what stuff in the sky looks like than anyone else. The number of people who share a delusion does not make it real. Personal experience is not evidence, it's anecdote.

I really don't know why you're having a problem with this. Our justice system works the same way. Didn't you ever take a science class? Have you always accepted everything anyone has ever told you as truth, without asking for proof? You must get ripped off a lot.

They are afraid of the unknown

Many people only want to believe what the can see, but seeing isn't always believing. Unfortunately many people don't understand that.

1. Aliens are fake.
2.Theres a spiritual war between good and evil.
3. Go to this, it is very important. Concerning your soul.
