Generally, I believe in keeping an open mind. While I'll be extremely skeptical about the invisible flying unicorn, if someone offers a really good argument for it, I'm not going to ignore that.
I'm a firm believer in the scientific method. But I also believe that some things that are currently considered established fact under the scientific method, and some things that are currently considered absolute rubbish under the scientific method will be proved later on to be the opposite, under the scientific method. The flaw isn't in the method, but the application. I have no idea what those things might be, but I suspect ghosts are in the second category. *g*
