I believe in Narnia. As weird as that is it's true. I believe that there is a world like Narnia out there somewhere in this galaxy that we live in. I also believe that you can get into Narnia anywhere, I don't think you can get to it by only living in England either. Yes the real Narnia is out there somewhere!

It's harder for me to beleive that it's not real than it is for me to beleive it's real.

And of course you don't have to be in England to get there!

You culd of course try getting there the way Eustace and Jill did, but in my opinion they didn't get there by force, Alan brought them there.

It's been clearly shown to us that in general, "It'll happen sometime when you're not looking for it."

For some of us, we may not get there untill we die in a train crash or soemthing.

I agree, it's easier to think that Narnia is real than to think it's not. I don't think you can only get there from England. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go outside, face the east with my arms up (palms face down) and call to Aslan.

Lovely idea!
Hmm if it was warmer out ! would do that too!

Narnia most certainly is real so im wondering how im supposed to respond to this thread... were all going there someday, and I myself, cannot wait

I think the existence of Narnia is something much like the ideology found in the editorial "Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus". Narnia exists because there are enough people in the world who believe in goodness, chivalry, kindness, courage, love, and redemption. And there are enough people in the world who would fight to the end--the end of their lives, the end of the world, or the end of time--for those things. That's what Narnia represents. I think allegorically it represents the kingdom of God and the virtuous children of the King, and so, because that truly does exist, so does Narnia. As Christians, we are living in Narnia now, and will one day live in Aslan's Country.

Now about the actual, physical existence of Narnia. Well, the deepest part of my heart bears witness to what you all have said. It does seem easier for me to believe in a physical Narnia than to deny its existence, though all logic says it is, of course, a fictional place in a fairy tale story. But I love that in Mere Christianity, Lewis says something (I can't remember where, perhaps the first chapter?) about the possibility of other worlds. Throughout the Narnia series and even in MC, it seems like Lewis never doubted this possibility, and so though I don't necessarily believe Narnia exists, I don't doubt that it's possible it could exist. Anything is possible after all.

Of course Narnia's existence is going to be more difficult to disprove than prove...the same applies for anything. It's pretty hard to prove that there are not unicorns in Russia because you'd have to go through every square inch of Russia to be 100% sure.

However, because of this, the burdon of proof is on the believer in situations like these. I'm not going to believe that Narnia exists simply because I can't prove it doesn't exist. Narnia is a great fantasy world with many lessons applicable to this world, but in terms of existing, I don't think the belief, or hope, that that is the case is any different than Harry Potter fans hoping to get the letter from Hogwarts telling them that they are a witch or a wizard. That's part of the appeal of fantasy books...they conjure up visions in our imagination of places seemingly superior to our own word. It gives our minds much enjoyable food for thought, and we wish we could experience the same things in reality. But we can't, because the things aren't real, after all, somebody wrote a fictitious book about them in the first place...so we could imagine them (which is the best alternative to actually visiting them).

A hundred years ago people did not believe in the existence of atoms, even when scientists could prove it they did not believe, so my theory is that anything coud be real. Even if it is not found,discovered, proved or disapproved.

If Narnia were real, I would try very hard to find one of those vortices. I would go on a trip probably closest to one of the original pirates that became Telmarines eventually. I would love to go to Narnia. I may not even need to return back. I wish I could go there back and forth. To take vacations there. Maybe even pictures.

Were portable cameras popular back in the 1940s? I do not think portable tape recorders were available back then. But perhaps small cameras may have been. So it would have been an interesting plot point if one of the kids who traveled to Narnia took pictures and brought the camera and film back to England and had them developed. Now with all the picture taking gadgets, it would be a big plot hole if nobody took pics- but if they were not available back then, it is credible and likely.

Well, the original Narnia was destroyed. But the new Narnia is about as a best description of heaven as I have ever heard. So of course it is real. The new Narnia that is.

My question is, and it may have been discussed, could Narnia folk get into our world? Like what would have happened if Tumnus came through this side of the wardrobe instead of Lucy going in. Is there a discussion on this already?

I don't think there is. That would be a really interesting conversation if you wanted to start a thread for that. Just don't discuss it in here, as that would be a bit off topic

I started a topic for the "can Narnians enter our world" discussion here.

If Narnia is real, that would be wonderful! I have often dreamed of getting into that wonderful land and meeting all of my Narnian friends:) Maybe someday

Unicorns in Russia? I never heard of that theory

As weird as it may seem, I believe Narnia exists, and somehow there must be a way to get there. This summer actually De_De, Narnian_Archer and I almost got there (at least I like to think of it that way) we were at a historical festival and there was a building there built like an old Russian rich home. We were exploring the rooms and we came to a room where there was nothing except this closet built into the wall at the very end of the room, other than that the room was completely empty, and seriously, it seemed everything was pointing to the closet. We rushed to it and tugged at it and.......it was locked. The greatest dissapointment of my life
