    Have you had a psychic reading and did it come true?

    Then, how do you know there are real ones? If you know most are fakes, how would anyone differentiate between the fakes and the real ones?

    Thinking of religions and science as world views hides their light and makes them harmful

    Umm, there seems to be a contraction in your OP. Let's, for arguments sake, say that science and religion are worldviews. I do tend to agree with this statement anyway. How can you benefit society with religion and science if you are not thinking of it and using it as a belief system in the...

    Have you had a psychic reading and did it come true?

    From a few threads, I've noticed some people believe in psi. So, I was curious if anyone has ever been to a professional psychic and been read? If so, what was the prediction/knowledge claim the psychic gave you and did it come true? I've been once to some spiritual centre, or whatnot, with my...

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    The people who conduct the experiments are scientists, the statisticians are qualified, they go through the very same review process. I hope they do a better job than the mainstream journals since a long-term meta-analysis of 100 studies found that 64% of Psychology studies failed to replicate...

    Countries banning of kosher meats are forcing "expulsion" of Jews

    Talk about verbal diarrhoea of nonsense. Your childish attempts at redirecting this discussion won’t work. What’s worse, you’re trying to bring up some feeble Jewish card. Have you forgotten, I’m considered Jewish. This pathetic tactic wouldn’t even work on me. Please, get real and stop acting...

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    From what I recall from his story, in the other thread, it’s not replicable. It was a one time event.

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Yeah, so how do you feel about a god that causes the suffering of those because they did not believe in it?

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Yeah... I always knew behind your peaceful and kind facade there's an undertone of spitefulness and smugness. At least Christians are able to say someone will burn in Hell with some conviction and malice. For you, and it seems my experience of Baha, it's far more hidden and malevolent, in my...

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Yeah, but when do you eventually give up? Does that line, for you, exist? At least you're intellectually honest to me. That's all I really care about.

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Umm, maybe I shouldn't say anything, but your reply to me makes you sound like you're one fruit away from a fruit salad. First, if everyone were atheists, no one would attribute anything to god, and second, I'd think that's the last thing a needy god would want, since, apparently, we've...

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Umm, I’m just saying, they may not. Someone may love a theory and put their hearts into it. However, if the data come back negligible, and they’re good scientists, they have to be willing to accept the theory is wrong or an aspect of it is. This is why science is so difficult, because it’s...

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    In my life-time, if I ever see atheists become the majority of Earths demographic, I'll be sure to attribute it to God as well ;)

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Yes, though I wouldn't past them for trying.

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    I know I'm kicking a dead horse, but oh well. A big concern from parapsychology opponents are the lack of failed psi experiments that haven't been published. Failure is a necessary part of science, but I don't think parapsychologist realise this :p I think they've been a lot more studies than we...

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    I’m speaking from memory, but I do recall parapsychologists admitting numerous flaws in their methodology. Once they were fixed, effect sizes went down and so did significance. This begs the question what is actually being measured and its importance as a scientific endeavour.

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Oh I checked the link. It’s the meta analysis that included all the studies with methodological flaws. Yeah, ok lol

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    I was speaking generally. What study found 38%?

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    Oh no. We had this discussion before. Yes, psychologists will take it seriously when they’re critiquing any theory and/or experiment. However, parapsychology has only become more fringe science because it’s taken less and less seriously. Unless they can give extraordinary evidence...

    the existence of god is a scientific fact

    The only evidence for flying saucers are the ones that have been thrown and the only evidence for psi powers is watching the weather channel and then telling someone your prediction, but even they get it wrong ;)
