I Believe In Werewolves

Why Werewolves Can Exist... The majority of people don't believe in werewolves. However, after multiple years of research, I've come up with two simple concepts that prove one cannot say werewolves don't exist, at least not if they want to be taken seriously. It may not prove werewolves exist, but it makes any evidence to the contrary invalid.

First, The Debunking Paradox:

"There are those who wish to try and prove that certain things (creatures, ob<x>jects or concepts) are or are not possible. In the case of creatures and ob<x>jects, one would be trying to prove that it does or does not exist. While, because of the Universe Example, trying to prove something impossible or nonexistent would be incredibly difficult, there are still those who may try to prove their beliefs. However, there is a brick wall that cannot be passed while trying to do so. The paradox of trying to prove something impossible or nonexistent is that the only way you could know what to disprove is if the creature, ob<x>ject, or concept existed. Were this the case, the entire argument that it is impossible or nonexistent would become pointless. For example, in the case of werewolves, one could try to prove whether or not the full moon can cause any being to physically transform into another shape. The modern belief is that the full moon causes werewolves to transform. Therefore, this person makes the assumption that, if they can prove the moon cannot cause such a transformation, then werewolves cannot exist. However, this is assuming that, if werewolves existed, the full moon is the actual cause of their ability to shift. The key phrase in the past sentence is “if werewolves existed”. What if the full moon has nothing to do with the transformation? This is a possibility and, if there is more than one possibility, then we cannot say one is right over the other. The only way we could know whether or not the full moon has anything to do with werewolves transforming is if they existed. If they existed, as said before, it would be pointless to try and state that they didn’t. In the end, the only thing the person would prove is whether or not the full moon can cause a being to transform. And even if they prove that it can, there’s still no guarantee that it applies to werewolves. Every story before Hollywood came into the picture says nothing about the full moon causing the transformation. Therefore, again, we cannot know whether or not the full moon has any sway on a werewolf unless werewolves existed. In summary, it is pointless to try and prove something impossible or nonexistent because of this paradox."

Second, the "Universe Example", which basically states that, because we cannot prove that something existing on this planet doesn't exist on others (yes, it sounds weird), we cannot say that the thing doesn't exist until we search every planet in the universe. Essentially, we can't say something is impossible or nonexistent until we've searched the entire universe and found no evidence of that thing's existence.

It's difficult to describe these concepts, but they are all that's necessary to debunk all claims that werewolves don't exist.

werewolves could exist but my heavenly father does exist God made every living thing if they do exist it could be from the first human race that god created and maybe it survived after he killed off the 1st race when he had noah build the arc the other possibility is that God made the angels and they are in fact supernatural beings and when satan fell from heaven after losing to God he might of created a bunch of different monsters

I cannot really contest or contribute to that. It is beyond my personal beliefs. I am not resistant to your ideas. I simply do not know where to go with them myself.

Liv4God

Expand your mind did you know we only use 40% of our brains imagine if you could use the other 50 or 60% it would make things interesting Well nothing against your beleifs but faith works well and its real & to get back 2 were wolves I think they are real I mean from history with 1000's of Eyewitness reports in France and all across Europe as well as Wisconsin's BrayRoad beast I mean is everybody smoking grass and eating sh rooms and doing acid I don't think so... they are real to me and others I feel they could very well be part of an occult or demonic or maybe even have a genetic disease that's hidden in their family as a secret who know's
but you can't prove they dont exist I also think that Big foot could exist but not in the same sense of shape shifting from man to beast but more of another species of ape from the Ape family that makes alot lot of sense to me & I don't think people are seeing the same thing either I definately think they are both entirely different one is Supernatural and possibly demonic and caused by the Devil through the occult and the other an undiscovered species of ape

Wait, do you think I am arguing against the existence of werewolves? There seems to be a common pattern here: people think I am arguing against the existence of werewolves, or others creatures of the like. The post is called "Why Werewolves Can Exist". The whole point is that I am showing how we cannot know and we cannot seek evidence to prove that something does not exist. It is an inherent paradox. Even if you could, it makes little sense. Science is without value if we only seek to prove what is impossible or unreal. It is about understanding what we have yet to fully grasp; learning about things that do exist. Not long from now, this debate about werewolves could be pointless and people would just accept their existence. But to get there, people need to understand that the current arguments against such creatures are both inherently unscientific and inherently unsupportable.

Just say cause you are more fluent with the English language than that guy if it makes any sense lol but if we have more bones than canines can't that provide evidence that the body would be able to use the extra bone to become larger than original size and I've found out that our DNA has a lot of the same strands as thousands of diffrent animals found around the world and if I'm not making any sense tell me what you think I'm saying so you know lol

SU4CCs

So I can explain better

Drachona · 31-35, M

No, you are making sense. Trust me, I have thought a lot about this. Number of bones is not irrelevant, but I do not feel it to be significant. When you are thinking about a total-body shift in structure, I usually argue the idea of mass-transference. For some non-wolf and non-human animals, the full explanation of change in size is up for debate. For wolves, though, there is not a significant difference in size. If the body could enter a malleable state (almost like pure energy), then it could take on a different form with specific proportions. The only problem with this idea is that it leaves many questions unanswered. You could also point to either gene-switching or a transitional activation of genes. Either way, you are talking about switching from expressing genes that make you human on a macro-biological level and expressing genes that make you wolf on a macro-biological level. This would most likely require a lot of energy (some would say an impossible amount), but there may be a way of taking energy from the immediate area. An almost parasitic energy augmentation. I know I'm throwing a lot of phrases and ideas out there, but I see no reason why something like shapeshifting cannot be looked at scientifically. We cannot discard the possibility just because we cannot yet explain it, especially when we are not just talking about a made-up subject. When something exists cross-culturally and throughout known history, it deserves some scientific investigation.

Honestly agreeable in your disposition. I hold my inarguable faith in God by sheer faith. Few years afore meeting Jesus, I was a crypto fanatic/occult fanatic. To be frank I found the easiest approach to discovering the whereabouts of werewolves/vampires/zombies etc. Just simply downloaded some olden grimoires in pdf. format. Studied up on constellations/positions/celestial and terrestrial movements/demon and angel bodies and properties. The only inkling of preventative fear resonated within me when I incredulously (though stupidly oh so OBVIOUS) read along the lines of blood consecrations and the profane incantations. And the math involved!!! 0.0
That grimoire will teach wordless geometry to even dopes (circles, triangles, & squares).
BUT, aside from the salubrious tangent of foreknowledge, if one accomplished such feats properly without the understated mistep of one's vulnerable sanity to boot (much less, even your soul's worth), you could conjure the resolve to your own curiosity. Angel or demon, most likely the damnable latter, presumably resolute in their summons when approached, would then by compulsion of celestial/terrestrial/mystic signs/incantations service with their apportioned degree of knowledge(s) (e.g. being nature, animals, hidden secrets, etc). By a few strictural moments in time alone, the query of a werewolf's existence would have then blown out the window if one truly conjured up such a black spirit of malevolence to service. With such a revelent curiosity which slays the feline race, werewolves would then be the least of our concerns. Our desires to accomplish all the questionable regrets in our life would drown out the measly wonders of "werewolves". But this is merely my view. And just another rigorous route to discovery.

I will be straightforward about this: are you a scholarly writer? You, like many "scholars" I have read, have a great talent for saying almost nothing, but making it sound like a lot of information. Essentially, you advertised these "olden grimoires" to us (which is such a broad category that it really does not tell us much of anything; any individual person could have a grimoire). Then, you basically explain that a werewolf is no truly fantastic creature; one that is easily a part of our existence. However, you make both statements through horrid sentence structure, mainly due to a lack of flow and a lack of clear meaning. Honestly, and I mean this not as an insult but as a statement of what appears to be true, you sound like you are trying to sound really smart. Intelligence, and I say this to anyone, is not about the complexity of the words you use or how elegant your writing sounds. Intelligence is about the ability to learn, understand, and apply knowledge you have learned in both mundane and unique ways. You can use big or outdated words to sound smart, but a good point is a good point no matter how you say it. The same goes for saying nothing of any real value.

If you "can" do anything, through such context, can't we all just say that anything is possible (beyond the human limitations of morality)? Like in the Bioshock series: no morals, no restrictons. We could definitely see whether humans could shift form, OR, finally find a way to fuse two bloodlines outside their own respective trees? (Wolves/humans)
Or is this all just to prove the point that you believe in werewolves? Or against the naysayers of theoretical arguments like this one (the whole paradox and all). Would it be valid for vampires too then (supposedly 'undead' and require blood for sustenance)? Maybe even single-horned equine?

Drachona · 31-35, M

I don't see why not. My basic point is that we do not know. Whether or not you believe in such things is irrelevant. The point is that you cannot disprove the existence of something because your argument requires evidence that the argument itself makes non-existent. You do not have to personally believe in werewolves or anything of the like, but what I am arguing here is logic, not opinion. I would welcome anyone to challenge me on these concepts. The only way I can improve them or see that they are flawed is if anyone actually comes up with other ideas. I have yet to see that, so for now my point still stands. This is not about morality or human-invented rules. Reality and the human sense of reality are two different things, divided only by our belief that we know and control our world or, even more ridiculously, the entire universe. We do not. Again, I welcome anyone to prove me wrong. I am open to any possibility. That does not mean I accept everything without question, as some seem to think is my position. Accepting that you do not know everything is not the same as being a gullible moron. A friend of mine phrased it rather well: (roughly) "It is good to be open-minded, but not so open-minded that your brain falls out."

cynoidea

not to disrespect your beliefs, but if a man in white robes in the clouds can exist, then why can't a were? again, no disrespect.

Drachona · 31-35, M

Scientifically, we cannot dismiss the possibility of either. I do not personally believe in the existence of gods. However, I cannot say they do not exist because I have no way of supporting such an argument. For werewolves, there is a significant amount of evidence, historical, physical, and claim-based. The dismissal of the possibility of werewolves first requires the explanation of a mountain of evidence to the contrary.
