EXCERPT
“Consider the odds. If you
multiply the number of stars in our galaxy by the number of galaxies in the
Universe, you get approximately a gazillion stars. That’s a 1 followed by
twenty-four zeros. And there could be even more than that! The chances that we
are the only living organism in the universe... To me, thinking we’re unique is
pretentious. It’s a matter of days. I’m sure anyone who discredits this is in
for a rude awakening soon. Even though we’ve just started the fourth decade of
the 21st century, there are still many people who are oblivious to these
truths.”
“These
are probably the same ones that still believe in the supernatural.” said
Stryker, laughing ironically.
“I
figured of all people you would believe in most of these things? In the
paranormal, in the spirit world, I mean.” asked Ripley.
“Oh,
please” answered Stryker. “With all the technology available today, millions of
digital cameras and video cameras, billions of photos and millions of hours of
recorded footage, yet not one real image of a being or anything remotely
paranormal has ever been confirmed. Nothing, zilch.” he looked down, shaking
his head slightly in disbelief. “But some people want to hold onto the belief
in the paranormal as though it’s any different to say goblins, angels or
wizards...none exist, but people still believe this tripe. We have simple
people wandering around abandoned facilities at night with EMF and digital
recorders trying to convince themselves that a tapping sound is a lost soul
back from the dead, or the scratchy inaudible sound recorded is a voice from
beyond the grave” he laughed. “If you believe in ghosts and spirits you truly
have a child’s view of the world.” Ripley seemed thrown off by Stryker’s
skeptic speech and immediately stood up, talking back at him:
“How
can you say that, Stryker? After what you witnessed Amanda go through?” she
asked, looking at him incredulously.
“Oh,
Stryker.” sighed Amanda. She then looked at him squeezing her eyes, as if she
could see through him. “You’re attempting to approach a nonsensical subject
with strict rationality. The world isn’t so black and white. Your clinical view
of everything is your downfall. For as much as science has advanced, we’re
still in the dark about most of life’s mysteries and not one human soul on this
planet can tell you what actually happens after you die.” she said. Amanda then
stood up and started prancing around the room, talking to all:
“Once
you accept that you’re an insignificant, inconsequential blip on the radar of
time--one of billions of people to have come and gone in a few million
years--and humble yourself with the idea that all you truthfully know about the
universe is what other, greater men have told you from their own observations,
then maybe you won’t act so pompous as to declare you know all there is to know
about a subject that has managed to stay in the forefront of society since time
immemorial.” she paused for a moment and went on. “It isn’t just country kooks
and attention-seeking nutters that believe they’ve seen a ghost or had a
paranormal experience. There are many learned men who would stand up to your
scrutiny as upright characters, such as presidents, who have claimed to have
seen spirits. Trying to lock down such a persistent, widespread phenomenon into
this ”This is this, therefore that is that“ rationality is just silly. We exist
in a world where we have no idea why we're even here, and things in your daily
life operate on a scale of normality that you’ve grown accustomed to, never
mind the fact that several centuries ago many things you do would be considered
”magic“ or ”abnormal.“ The torchbearers who brought us electricity, telephones,
and computers have managed to push the darkness of ignorance back only so much,
but you’re making the mistake of thinking you can see the entire cave beyond
the small circle of light.” said Amanda.
