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.

As for the paradox there isn't one saying .I mean logically I can say there isn't an engineer inside every black hole with a flash light trying to find a circuit breaker.Why because nothing can exist inside a black hole.The same with the human race the body would never be able to withstand a change.Also there would be no need for that evolution species evolve to increase there survival so instead of making it necessary for the body to change to another species it would just have a better species of human.

as for the universe example.It wouldn't be a werecreature because a were creature must transform from human to another species those creatures would not be in our solar system nor would they be human

So, you just copied and pasted your argument, and not even because it was truly good. Interesting. You still fail to explain how you know these things when you have no evidence to support your claims. That is why we call them assumptions.

AtheistWolf

there is plenty of evidence genetics,anatomy,physics etc.

Drachona · 31-35, M

Such as? Naming fields of study is not evidence, it's naming fields of study.

AtheistWolf

since you didn't understand everything in the field of science can refute natural lycanthropy

AtheistWolf

if not give me one field of science that supports it

Drachona · 31-35, M

Again you make a statement without support. And I never claimed that there was a filed of science that supports it. My research is collaborative; projected anatomy based on both isometric and allometric transformation, genetic switches, mass-to-energy concept, proportionate transference of mass, and energy consumption from the environment. I have actually thought this through and can point to countless pieces of evidence for the existence of werewolves that requires explanation. You, however, turn and ask me for evidence instead of answering my request for it. Anymore, because you avoid giving effort and being open-minded, you are a waste of my time.

AtheistWolf

you are without any scientific evidence read the majority of my stories and you will see why werewolves are not supported.when people say not open minded they generally mean not gullible

AtheistWolf

read about anatomy and genetics there is not enough dna shared between human and canine or any primate for that matter and humans have more bones than canines to name to supporters that werewolves do not exist good day you delusional fool

Werewolves have enhanced healing abilities, whether in human or werewolf form. And it's not the human withstanding the change, it's the werewolf. The bones reform, reshape and become longer or shorter, which is like what humans do except werewolves do it much faster and heal from it. But it causes pain, extreme pain. When a human's bones reform and reshape they do so slowly, it doesn't cause any pain, because it's slow. Werewolves do that but at an extremely fast pace as if they are growing into a wolf but the fact that they're partly human distorts what the werewolf "grows" into. I just used "science" to prove that werewolves can exist. Plus, who's to say moonlight doesn't cause werewolves to change. Science has proven that moon phases are linked to crime, mental illness (ex. ocd, depression, anxiety), traffic accidents, and major disasters to name a few. Who knows, maybe the moonlight causes them to grow very rapidly and that's why they are forced to change on full moons because the moonlight is at it's highest concentration and it's at it's brightest. Werewolves grow, they don't change. Change isn't permanent and growth can be reversed. Ever heard of hair-loss reversal? They reverse the process of hair loss by regenerated dead cells or they use stem cells to create hair and the patient gets treated several times in a year so that the stem cells can be reapplied or the cells can be regenerated, which keeps the person from noticing hair loss, if it occurs. It's the same with werewolves. They grow and when the sun comes up, that triggers a reversal in the growth of cells and the werewolf turns back to a human and heals. After a werewolf has grown, it changes back to keep it from dying of old age. When the sun comes up, it get's younger. The reason it doesn't die during the whole night is because werewolves have extended life. They can live a long time. It's all science.

I will not argue that your points lack science. They are scientific, but you are basing your understanding on a false conception of werewolves. This is the same problem that people run into when they try to disprove the existence of werewolves. If you do not know what is true, how can you know what to disprove? A lot of what you're saying is more just statement-making, not really arguing. And I am not trying to say that werewolves do not exist. My stance should be obvious by this post. However, you mention things like the governance of the transformation by the moon and returning to human form "when the sun comes up". This is assuming that time of day and moonlight really have anything to do with werewolves. Do they? Well, it does seem like there are slight connections, but neither of these factors control the transformation. So, you're trying to explain something that is not even very relevant. Your description of transformation is also not really a scientific one. It is just a description, not an explanation. When you're talking about physically shifting, you are looking at the specifics; change in genetic expression leading to a transition from human macro-biology to wolf macro-biology. Again, you are making many statements, but not really giving explanations. For example, why might werewolves heal faster? It is a relevant factor, but an exact explanation is still needed. You also mention having an extended life. This has not really been proven. Werewolves are not physically immortal, so then there are countless factors that go into life-span. Today, for example, we might factor in the stress of hiding amongst humans as something that decreases life expectancy. There are also the basic things like diet and exercise, which are much less predictable nowadays. Again, I am not trying to shoot down your argument or say that you are wrong. I am just pointing out that scientific explanation requires explanation. If you simply make a statement, you are doing no more than the people who say "werewolves don't exist". You have to actually make an argument. Just remember that this is not about proving people like Atheistwolf wrong, it is about seeking a scientific understanding of the subject that, if it is proven correct, will eliminate them from the discussion entirely.

But wouldn't it? I mean couldn't.
Like if everyone found out that what's clogging our drain pipes is because of a fierce battle between a brown turd, two red and green turtles, and look-alike red and green jumpsuit brothers of italian origin? Like a child in the womb. Parents fondle lovingly over the inherent possibility of their offspring even before knowing what gender it is, what life it'll choeose, and how it will live. Even before seeing the ultrsounds. In the worst case, during miscarriage or unexplained death circumstances, the parents will mourn what would have been something living or possible. What was and could've been. But that's just for dramatic effects. In this lesser case, it still stands as plausible with no evidenciary refutations from either sides (believer and non-believer).

Drachona · 31-35, M

Except there are two very important additions to that: first, arguments against the existence of werewolves are inherently unsupportable. And second, the existence of werewolves is not without support. People think that not having 100% solid, undeniable evidence is somehow equivalent to having none whatsoever. Spend a day in college, especially in a social science, and see how often "solid evidence" comes along. There is not an enormous amount of evidence for the existence of werewolves yet, but no one can deny historical and current events/claims/etc. that support the idea. Is it damning? No, of course not. However, if you do your research (I cannot stress that enough to everyone), there is a significant amount of evidence. I wish I could make it clearer to everyone that, before having a conversation about this, we should all do our homework. Otherwise, I welcome anyone who would prefer otherwise to keep their mouths shut.
