Do you believe spontaneous combustion can really happen?
An example of this is, Dr. J. Irving Bentley when he was found in ashes in his home , but with the rest of his house untouched by a fire. Many scientists think against this being the cause of spontaneous combustion, but do believe it's possible?
Scientifically and from a physics point of view spontaneos combustion is possible. There have been incidents where spontaneous combustion has occurred and proven by forensics like in the Dr. J. Irving Bentley case. This type of thing is not just in the movies or TV shows. It has really has occured. A lot has to do with the person's chemical make-up, the body's interaction with sun rays, and other atomic plus subatomic factors.
Yes, spontaneous combustion is real.
I don't know about with people but I'm pretty sure it can happen with hay bails...
I am not a scientist. There certainly seems to be a ton of data which supports the possibility of spontaneous human combustion. Unless you can disprove every case, it cannot be ruled out as a possibility.
I remember having this very same debate in my biology class my junior year of high school. My teacher brought in a photo and article of a woman who supposedly "spontaneous combusted". I was never really sure if I could believe it or not but I agree with Jonesy.
Thanks for your answers and I do believe it happens but I think it's just can't be explained by scientists how it happens. Intrestingly it happened only a couple of weeks ago to someone. Have a look at this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15032614

I watched Piers Morgan's show twice, once with Alex Jones as his guest and then again with Ben Shapiro as his guest. Both of these people believe that is necessary for citizens to have high capacity assault weapons, like AR15's to protect themselves from the eventual tyranny of their own...

Can someone explain why or what causes constant misfortune in one's life?I know someone who seems to always have to struggle. Anytime something is about to go right, it goes severely wrong. He does nothing to deserve it and isn't a horrible person, yet still... has to struggle with everything in...
