Missing Malaysian Plane

Sorry Ignore the above answer and take the below one instead:

They’ll be dedicated a separate soul like every other individual from God the almighty!

The OP and this thread are a belated April Fool’s Day joke right? 'Cos it’s actually pretty damned funny. Not quite as belly-grabbing as Quicksilver’s ‘adventures’ with the sticker and his evil wife, but amusing in it’s own creepy way.

Bravo OP!

:smiley:

I got a question from you mate:

outta joking, what if one of those person who has super natural powers could tell something both about your past and future so that you’ll be impressed not knowing what to do or say even a single word with wide-open mouth! Then, tell me, would you change and reconsider all your principles and things which you have learned and in them you’ve put all your trust? would you admit that you were wrong all these years of your precious life not believing these things? If yes, then see how fragile one’s principals and beliefs could be.

As a parting shot: I’m not taking about any so-called psychics or clairvoyants, I mean the real ones whose number is limited.

By the way, Thank you all for your comments and answers, I enjoyed em and learned. It was such a trip!

Catch you around

All of which were entirely imaginary.

Probably why they had no soul.

That’s offensive and I’m offended. Imaginary life begins at imaginary conception. :mad::mad:

Why would this offend us? We pretty much point and laugh at them too. Stupidity is without borders.

It’s a hoax. Where do you get your facts?

Thing is, this is all a WHAT IF proposition. It’s wishful thinking. Fantasy.

WHAT IF I told you I could fly like superman? I bet you’d be properly impressed, right? But you’d also expect me to prove to you that I could actually do the thing I claimed. And you’d want to make sure I’m doing it without tricks or props.

I would expect no less of anyone making such a fantastic claim.

So having made the fantastic claim for a ‘limited number of real psychics’ existing, suddenly you’ve got to be somewhere? Right before providing even a single shred of evidence?

How unexpected.

So you first said that “souls have to exist - because clones die because they don’t have one”. Then you’re now talking about Eve, and clone that you believe is alive. Which is it - do clones have souls or not? Or mayyyyyybe there isn’t actually any proof at all for souls, since the whole clone thing is a giant hoax.

Nope. If I am presented with uncontrovertible objective evidence of something that impacts the material physical world (which being able to know the fate of the airplane or hidden info about me is: pointing to something that happened in the physical material world), I’d have to be a fool to not change my position about it. Fragility of beliefs has got nothing to do with that. And the evidence itself has to be belief-independent; it can’t be that if I have no faith or am thinking negative thoughts then the psychic power does not work, because then it’s no more useful for the task at hand than metaphysical/religious speculation.

I just now noticed this…comeback?..and I genuinely have no idea what it’s supposed to mean.

See this post

Zero is a number, and it’s fairly limited, so technically you’re correct.

Weirdest … thread … EVER!

Oh, no. No no no no. I have to challenge that. I’ll toss out the “Ask the conspiracy theorist” thread by kozmik from a year or so back as a preliminary challenger.

Ask the conspiracy theorist, for the curious. And here’s one of my favorites: Was Europe (1500-1789) a black civilisation?

Mildly amusing back then, now just boring.

My God, I remember that thread. He was absolutely unshakeable in his [del]faith[/del] beliefs.

As I imagine Reza is. It’s futile to attempt to counteract illogical beliefs with logic. Futile.

I listened to an NPR interview yesterday with an author of a book on people who believe in conspiracy and supernatural theories. He said that the one unifying trait these people shared was a personal sense of powerlessness and that believing such things allowed them to feel that they had “personal power” that most people didn’t - this allowed them to believe that they had a leg up, as it were, on the great unwashed who didn’t have access to specialized knowledge.

Was it Michael Shermer? I know he has a new book out, and I read his Why People Believe Weird Things years ago. I think that’s a pretty good look at the topic.

Just found the program - no, not Michael Shermer.

Cass Sunstein.
