As an agnostic, I won't deny anything outright, but I won't believe anything either with out sufficient proof. I have in fact seen one thing from your list though.

Angels do not exist.
Supernatural miracles do not exist. Anything perceived as a 'miracle' has a logical explanation.
I'm not sure what an 'orb' is so...

Ghosts are ghosts. Exactly what it says. The spirits of the dead. Personally, I think they exist on a parallel plain but I can't prove it.
Angels don't exist. Angels are a strictly Christian idea. Being that I'm Atheist, why would I believe in such crap?
Miracles are only things yet to be explained.
Orbs could be anything, including dust and insects.

I'm agnostic, so I say I don't know on ghosts, angels, miracles...orbs? Round objects? Planets? Huh?

As a Buddhist, and essentially atheist... ghosts, angels can be beings from the formless realm, or Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, etc. Miracles, IMBO, are nothing more than karma coming to fruition, and orbs... depends on which things you're referring to as "orbs".

I have experienced a few things that COULD be considered ghosts, but could also just be my imagination. Angels - no. Miracles no. Orbs - dust close to the camera lens.
Thanks for asking instead of assuming. :-)

it's a combination of damage to nature, and people fighting religion.... for every thing humans have ever called god is just another human who have found blind spots in nature and evil and uncaring enough to want to make the future of humanity his slave...
ghosts... damaged spots in nature... the greatest well known spot is the bermuda triangle.... I hear it's been healing
angels.... a word use to describe people with the same spiritual capacity that fight the ones who would call themselves god...
miracles.... periods of nature healing... but the churches like to take credit for it... the catch 22 for those in religion is that the devil... the one known to cause these problems.. (he calls himself god, but in the end he's only human) His religions proclaim him all knowing... Have you ever noticed when new trains of thought enter into the human population, whether it be science or spiritual or philosophical... the chirstians are very quick to condemn it... right are wrong the christians don't want any information being given to the human race that has not been re worked through their "god"..... becaus the greatest of truth and information comes from outside of religion every time...
orbs... the catholic church has faught to maintain a monopoly on prophecy... they work to destroy natural prophecy... that's where the term false prophets come into... orbs is a term coming out of spiritual people working to understand the purpose, the information of prophecies.... it's not as they understand it... if you are given a true prophecy and before you come to understand it, the false prophets change it until you believe one their prophecy.. then it slowly becomes a self fulfilling prophecy... most of these people get swallowed up into the christian religions... if you are spiritual and have become associated with religion you have lost your battle with the devil... That is why it is better to rely on your conscience, common sense in these days of confusion... it is better to be unsure than to jump into being dead wrong...

I do not believe in ghosts, angels, miracles or that orbs (photographic anomalies ) are supernatural.
I require credible evidence or rational reasons for my beliefs and without credible evidence or rational reasons for a proposition I have no choice but to tentatively reject belief in that proposition.

All nonsense.
Except orbs, they exist, I understand I have two in my head that I see out of, if you mean some supernatural phenomena then I'd say 'No, of course not don't be stupid'
In fact I'm embarrassed by atheists who believe in such things. Do we need another word for people who scorn all ridiculous superstition?

I don't believe in ghosts, angels, miracles, demons, god/s, leprechauns, flying fire-breathing dragons, or anything else generally considered "supernatural."
"Orbs" are things that are spherical. Those exist.
