Its not a matter of believing in something because it 'looks cool' or other people believe in it. I have no doubt certain things exist and happen through my own personal experiences and yet it could not be proven on a scientific level. There is no way I can see to prove scientifically that we have spirits, but I have no doubt that we do.
Sociologist Andrew Greeley, studying available surveys and polls since 1978, found that not only did the percentage of Americans admitting to psychic experiences increase over a decade, about two thirds of college professors accepted ESP, and more than 25% of "elite scientists" believed in ESP. Other polls have shown that many scientists hold such beliefs privately but do not share such opinions publicly (or at least not in their professional circles) for fear of ridicule or worse. If anything, the data suggest that on average, scientists are at least as accepting as the general population of paranormal phenomena and thus of parapsychology as a valid field for scientific study.
