The realisation of our mortality is the root cause of our wishful thinking.

Our mind create seemingly real world's where death and suffering wouldn't be. "There must be a better life" so we begin to believe... and the postulate of Angels, gods, immortality, spirits, souls, and better lives begins to make sense.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (by surprise). – Hebrews 13:2

It literally says you may entertain an angel and not know it which implies that an angel can sit in front of you and you won’t even know.
If angels are beings with wings and halos over their heads like religions portray them to be, then you should recognize an angel immediately. But, if an angel is a being that comes in the form of a human, then it is possible that you may not know that I am sitting with an angel. Again, these are all things within your scriptures that they try to hide and mistranslate so that you will not know what it really says.

Have you 'seen' IR rays without scientific assistance? In same way you need some assistance to see Angels. And oh, by the way not the scientific kind.

Are you sure you really want to know? The saying 'ignorance is bliss' wasn't thought up for nothing. While knowledge birthed every development we see today, sometimes it's just better to leave well enough alone.

Again, you wouldn't believe anyway and I have little or no time to convince anyone otherwise as I have come to understand folks just come here not to sincerely seek out alternative info to what they believe but just to take out their frustration with whatever on some poor OP who was unfortunate enough to express an 'absurd idea'- at least in their reckoning. Let's not forget the rudeness, lack of civility and barbaric attitude displayed by posters when it comes to discourse or analyses of metaphysical facts.

Do angels exist? Is there any evidence for the existence of angels? Can the existence of angels be proven?

Suggested answers:

The Bible speaks of angels as real, actual beings. However, Scripture's depiction of angels is very different from the popular concept of them. The Bible describes angels as vastly powerful, intimidating, and mysterious creatures. They serve God for specific reasons and do not seem to be wandering or random creatures. While we don't have a great deal of information about angels in the Bible, what's available is enough to correct many common misconceptions.

The word angel comes from the Greek word aggelos (or angelos), which most literally means "messenger." In Old Testament Hebrew, these beings are called mal'ak, which means the same thing, "messenger." Communication seems to be the primary function of angels in the Bible. Most references to angels involve their delivering some news or command on behalf of God. They are occasionally depicted as protecting certain people (Daniel 6:20–23) or nations (Daniel 12:1). However, there is no direct biblical support for the concept of a "guardian angel"—a single spiritual entity assigned to a specific person for purposes of protection or guidance—although such beings may exist.

In modern times, common depictions of angels include things like halos, feathery wings, blond hair, harps, and white robes. Or chubby infants with tiny wings and shining eyes. In reality, the Bible gives no general physical description of angels. Only a few specific types of beings, such as cherubim and seraphim, are given direct visual details (Isaiah 6:2–6; Ezekiel 1:4–28). Only one angel, at the empty tomb of Jesus, is ever described as wearing a white robe (Mark 16:5). Scripture indicates that angels can take on a mundane human form (Genesis 19:1–4).

That being said, most people in Scripture who encounter angels react with fear. Almost every time an angel appears to someone, the angel's first words are "don't be afraid!" (Luke 1:13, 30; 2:10; Matthew 28:5) Their presence can be so overwhelming that even apostles such as John had to be warned not to worship them (Revelation 19:9–10). This makes sense, given, the level of power ascribed to angels by the Bible. According to 2 Kings 19:35, a single angel killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night. As spiritual beings created to serve God, angels are not so much "cute" as they are powerful and otherworldly.

Looking at the Bible, we can say that angels are literal beings. Biblical angels exist. The cartoonish versions of angels so often seen in movies and commercials, however, do not.
