I know the idea of zombies (the "undead") has been a popular concept and recently has gained more popularity. However I wonder, can people really come back from the dead and terrorize the living? What do you guys think?

I picture it to be more like the rage virus from 28 Days/Weeks Later compared to Resident Evil. I can't comprehend something being dead, having living animation when it's missing half of it's body and vital organs..

You are one, aren't you?
I don't think its possible.
It shouldn't be, at least...
I think we should just leave this story behind us. Not very likely it will ever occur.

I've heard about zombie ants before. They become 'zombies' because of a fungus. Anyway, I thought this article might be interesting. In my opinion, it's highly unlikely for humans to become zombies. Well, unless the fungus doesn't evolve, or some new virus or bacteria comes up/evolves that make this zombification possible. I still don't think they will exist though.

Thanks to Ms Lucy for this awesome, funny gif.
The person that you are now is not the person that I used to know. You're becoming a stranger that I've never met before. Not liking the change though.
There are accounts of the dead becoming reanimated in places like Haiti and the Caribbean. It was a very common practice to fill the dead corpse's mouths and bodies with sand so they couldn't come back to life.
Their is a disease where a person's mussels stiffen and their flesh rots
it's possible with a virus like Rabies, but it would have to be altered and man-made..

None of your alternate theories are about zombies. They are about diseases that make people act the way zombies in movies are shown as acting. But I want to know is it possible for a person to actually be among the ranks of the "walking dead"? My religion tells me no. That once you are dead, your soul goes into Heaven (if you are a Christian) or into Hell (if you are not a Christian). Basically a zombie is a puppet, where the person's soul thinks it has not finished something in this world so it lingers in this world, but rather than lingering as a ghost (disembodied soul), it decides to go back into its body and make the body move and walk to carry out its will. The zombie idea, is it is not actually making the person come back to life (as the body can no longer support life processes with decayed and damaged organs), but rather the soul is simply operating the limbs of the corpse so as to make itself able to interact with the world through the movement of the body that is being supernaturally moved by the power of that soul (a sort of telekinesis). As a Christian, I don't think that can happen because I don't think that a soul can exist in this world without a living body, and is forced into the afterlife after the body dies. But I want to know what you guys out there think? What is your religious view? Do you believe that literal zombies can exist?
There is ONE kind of zombie that could exist that would go along with my spiritual beliefs. That is if instead of a soul returning from the after life, if the corpse was instead controlled by a fallen angel (commonly called a "demon" or "evil spirit"). That would also explain the always hostile (never benevolent) actions that zombies exhibit in every story that is told about zombies. That would also play right along with what is known about demons and their leader Satan. Demonic spirits use deception to try to make people disbelieve the things that God tells us (ultimately trying to get us to turn away from God). Deceiving people into believing in ghosts and zombies, rather than the Bible which speaks of souls only going on to an afterlife and NOT staying on the earth, would fit right into the methods of deception that Satan likes to use in his efforts to turn people away from God.

Starting to sound more like a religious thread now than a zombie thread. And if you weren't talking about the stereotypical zombie, then you should have made that point clearer in your intro post.

Considering that zombies usually stem from a fungus or disease. Take The Last of Us into account, It uses a real fungus; Cordyceps. It only infects insects, But diseases and fungus may break that barrier eventually.
"Some current and former Cordyceps species are able to affect the behaviour of their insect host."
no, the dead will never walk the earth. a dead body is dead for a reason, there's no chance of it ever coming back to life. once a brain is dead and all electrical impulses have gone, it's impossible to restart it. when electricity was first gaining popularity, medical scientists tried for a decade to reanimate corpses with it, and only succeeded in making limbs flail.
but hey, this is an improvement on your regular retarded threads AD, there's actual discussion to be had.
I don't believe in zombies, no.
My Wi-Fi, it's gone out . . .

Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

I did an entire presentation about this before and all the research I've done leave the possibility of zombies completely plausible. With mutated viruses, nano-bots and even infections in the insect kingdom there's a lot of things that can mimic the zombie like state you see in movies. I wouldn't rule out it happening one day.
There is this fungus that can take over an organism, where the fungus controls the organism, gives it a zombie flesh color, and also messes up the way the organism develops.....there are zombie ants and lobsters
All of those are "zombie like symptoms". Lets stay on topic. Are zombies possible? You know, the supernatural version that is NORMALLY what people mean when they talk about zombies. What is your view on the possibility of the supernatural phenomenon that are zombies?

This is probably the only thread you are ever going to make that will be discussable... Don't ruin it..
You are trying to force it into a yes or no thread which isn't a discussion.. This is a discussion board! If people want to talk or debate about the topic, let them. It isn't being off topic, it's them discussing different avenues about the topic which is what you do.
