What do you think are the reasons why some people believe in supernatural beings, some others don't, and some can't decide?

I use to believe in the supernatural, now I don't. Only if there was evidence, then I might believe in the supernatural.

Because there's always been things happening that human beings don't have an explanation for. There's usually a need to fill that void. Enter a convincing story teller, and over time, different cultures have different stories of the origin of life, of how God pisses for rain, ghosts, ghouls, reincarnations.🤷🏾♂️.

Some buy into the BS that blind faith is a virtue. Therefore, they are hoodwinked into religion, where the church empties their pockets. Others, like myself, demand facts and evidence before accepting a claim as true. For those who can't decide, please know that religion is a scam, faith is NOT a virtue, and we are better off following the truth where the facts and evidence lead.

Unexplainable instances. That's it. I do believe some of it comes from a lack of understanding of both natural occurrences and medical issues but once in a great while something happens that neither seems to be able to explain... even for those who are pretty highly educated.

If something is unable to be explained, we simply have not yet found the explanation.
That is the educated response, not to cry "Gawd dunnit"

@LenHazell53 True. Science doesn't cover everything out there just yet but does have methods to try to discover and explain things.

@AmyLF Science does cover everything, we just have not encountered everything yet.
