another prime example -
Not going to bother to respond to him-from years of interaction with him I know doing so would be like trying to impart knowledge to a goldfish(it’s just not gonna imprint), and I’m pretty sure most others understood exactly what I’m talking about.
There have been any number of Pit threads started in your honor, where many posters have explained exactly why they react to you like that, at great length and in fine detail.
You should check them out.
I’m sorry, but the last decade has led me to believe that you can’t.
If I am not a scientist does that make me a bad person, or an ignorant one? Must I measure all of my posts by science. I don’t follow the rules of religion either, what does that make me? Are you the final judge of what I am by what I post or is there a higher court I can appeal too.
I am not a scientist - but I understand what the terms, method and idea is. You can educate yourself on the scientific method and what ‘evidence’ is and be less ignorant of it - that is your choice.
As for a higher court - submit your findings to a peer reviewed journal - preferably a scientific one - see what they say.
I am being honest but not fully honest? Why would I need to back up every post I make with scientific verification. I don’t notice you doing that. You have told me science can find no evidence of ghosts, so perhaps some other method can find evidence. Is science infallible, like the Pope?
Why would I want to do this being a non-scientist. Can you speak to non-scientists.
You have insulted me again. I have feelings.
No, I never go to the Pit and dish the dirt.
You wanted to know why people don’t like you, that’s where you can learn. Their ability to answer in this forum is necessarily going to be limited, because there’s only so far someone can go in pointing out your negative qualities before they run afoul of the forum’s rules.
You’re honest as to what you believe - your cites and references are often so wrong it is hard to tell if you are being intentional with the wrongness (which is a sort of dis-honesty) or if you are genuinely just that ‘wrong’.
Science is self correcting - you show it the evidence - it will accept it and change its current understanding -
Been nice-tried reason-time to try something else.
Don’t care about your personal problems and hurt feelings anymore, lekatt.
Show us the best evidence you’ve got for the existence of a ghost, demon or evil spirit. Since you have been told many times that anonymous anecdotes and/or You Tube speeches are not evidence, I would ask that you not insult our intelligence by presenting either.
Why would you NOT want to understand the scientific method and how things work within that framework? One does not have to ‘be a scientist’ to atleast get an understanding of the process.
Little too personal, there, Czarcasm. Dial it down a bit.
No warning issued.
I have had enough for today.
Most people in this world are one thought people. They are consumed by that thought and measure or filter everything that enters their life with it.
That thought could be religion, politics, science, philosophy, math, literature, even cosmetic subjects.
Few people will touch any and all bases of thought, studying all those listed above and many more. It is necessary to study subjects you don’t like or feel are not valid. But the pursuit is very satisfying.
When two one thought people meet there is almost always conflict even to the extent of harming each other. It is the main cause of trouble in the world today. However if you broaden your awareness of the human condition you don’t have to get angry at others and live a more peaceful life.
My best evidence is experience.
I have no idea what your being a Renaissance Man has to do with this.
What about giving us your evidence for ghosts, demons or evil spirits?
Which, as has been pointed out to you dozens of times, is useless. It can be a starting point for an investigation, but experience by itself is not evidence. We’ve pointed out many more plausible interpretations of your experiences that you ignore, dismiss, or refuse to accept.
You say you have seen a ghost but if you presented the same evidence to someone else they would say that they were dreaming, or were tricked by a play of the light, or were under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, or it was an artifact of loss of oxygen, or they were tricked by special effects, or simply mistaken. All of these can be demonstrated, repeated, and studied. Your ghost claim is assuming a conclusion and looking for data to support it.
It’s bad logic, non-science, and pretty annoying. And extremely predictable as demonstrate the exact same pattern in every thread you engage in.
BTW, I’m certainly not writing this response for you as I have no faith that you’ll ever read or understand the issue. I write this for others who can learn from your poor example.
And I have no way to verify that. But even then, how would you have verified it? Even 20 years ago still leaves 40 years time between the statements made and that time.
I have seen no evidence that psychics work, and lots of evidence that psychics as a whole are frauds. So yes, I guess you could say that.
