Are Demons Responsible for Poltergeists?
The biblical record shows that angels and demons have what we would call teliconesis or psychocnesis. They can mentally affect matter, so there's no reason in principle why a demon couldn't cause a poltergeist case. However, as we discussed in episode one, 88 on whether it's always demons, we can't just leap to that conclusion. For a christian to reflecively insist on the demon conclusion is the religious equivalent of an atheist insisting that all polter geists must be the result of fraud and trickery. Both explanations are possible, but in ape i case, you need evidence to support your proposed explanation.
