A bad example, even with that admission the crop circle proponents jump to say that other crop circles appeared elsewhere, they dismiss the created ones. However, it is a good example to show that beliefs overcome any evidence, once again this matters little if evidence points to explanations that are more mundane. Faith alone does not stop evidence from making the supernatural the unlikely thing.
And, I bet it will be doubtful that the one that did it will come forward to admit he/she was the ghost. This is a situation were the perpetrator now has other reasons to remain anonymous, and not because he or she would lose their job, but because more money for all their coworkers is at stake (see my previous post on the greed factor).
No. When I finished debating G-d, I had to admit they had good points, that I didn’t believe, but considered. They remained unconvinced. I didn’t think it was a draw though. I failed to prove even marginally of the possible existence. No draw there. I lost.
There are a lot of things that are unexplained. You can’t suggest the possibility that it was a ghost and without proving that ghosts exist, say that the argument gained any ground. If they said it was a tomato, at least there is proof tomatos exist. You are saying that because you can’t prove that IPU’s don’t exist, there could still be one in your garage. Nooooo.
It is a stalemate in a sense, but only because the people who are wrong won’t back down. That doesn’t make it a draw. Using your logic virtually any discussion on any subject is a draw since you’ll find a nutcase somewhere who’ll dispute any verified fact and believe in any falsified claim, and that makes the word “draw” itself pointless and without meaning. Therefore, if we use the word at all, this is not a draw.
