    The Return of Christ

    Very unlikely! Baha'u'llah probably has hardly 8 to 9 million followers, far fewer than another contender - ‎Mirza Ghulam Ahmad the founder of the Ahmadis. 8 million out of 7 billion is hardly anything. The real Messiah will probably be recognized and followed by more than half of the world...

    What really happens to you after you die...

    Are you saying you get omnipotent powers when you turn away from the light? So when you turn towards the light, you get nothing? Very strange!

    The Return of Christ

    This means you should not expect the Messiah to be necessarily named Jesus - that may not sound so good to many Christians.

    The Return of Christ

    I am not sure what the cruelty of nature has to do with the coming of a Messiah, but OK.

    The Return of Christ

    Actually, I believe the same person will come for all of them (they just call the same person different names). Before recent times the world was not globalized, so 'God' would send different teachers to different regions. Now that we are globalized, God will send one teacher for all even...

    The Return of Christ

    It just means that they believe the Christ will return. All religions have this belief about their chosen Messiah, it is not anything unusual. Christians believe Christ will return, Muslims believe Imam Mahdi will return, Jews believe Moshiach will come, Hindus believe Kalki will come...

    Exploring Buddhism

    Nastik is best translated as heterodox not 'atheistic'. It is not that Buddhists do not believe in Gods, but that they do not believe that Gods or worshipping them is necessary or important for achieving nirvana. A very good book for comparing the two religions is by Coomarswamy (a Buddhist)...

    What is Evidence?

    'Hands on' but refuse to actually use your hands? Just want to provide verbal 'explanations' and claims without even trying to substantiate them? Use any object at home and stick a spoon full of milk to it, just as shown in the videos. If you don't have a block of porous wood to experiment...

    What is Evidence?

    'Hands-on' but never actually performs an experiment? If you don't have a block of porous wood to experiment with, maybe you can use a porous rock? At least attempt to reproduce what you claim to be true. You need the object and a spoon of milk. That is all the material you need. Perform the...

    What is Evidence?

    Actually if you are unwilling to provide a video, just state that you have attempted to reproduce the phenomenon and succeeded exactly like the many videos on youtube. Please scientifically describe the object used - its size, material, the amount of milk absorbed into the object from a spoon...

    What is Evidence?

    This is not a journal - has no journal name or date of publication. You are unwilling to try and unable demonstrate a phenomenon which you claim to be easily reproducible, You are no scientist at all.

    What is Evidence?

    I don't know what kind of scientist you are. Obviously not a hands-on, real one or an active one who actually experiments. But I have worked in a radiology department of a research university sometime back and we used picture and links to videos in peer-reviewed papers all the time. I was never...

    What is Evidence?

    If the reference was in scientific journal, what is the name of the journal? It is just webpage by a skeptic like you. If it is so easy than why don't you actually perform the experiment and demonstrate how easy it is? The object you can experiment with can be made of metal, wood, stone...

    What is Evidence?

    It is not published anywhere. What is the name of the Journal? He happened to work at some institute and he has put the name of that institute in the article. Instead of continuing to talk and make claims, why don't you actually attempt to reproduce the phenomenon which apparently is 'very...

    What is Evidence?

    I am aware of the this 'paper' by Jayaraman . It is just a webpage, it is NOT a published paper. Sometime back, I sent him an email asking him if he had himself conducted an experiment to reproduce the phenomenon and if he had an any documentation of the experiment - what size of idol he used...

    What is Evidence?

    That's what I have been saying. If anyone can do it and it is so easy, you should able to do it too. Just do it yourself and upload a video of performing it. It only happened for a few days in 1995 (or later in 2006), but you should be able to do it anytime. I will wait for your video since it...

    What is Evidence?

    Use a cloth doll, that would actually be easier.

    What is Evidence?

    These are just words. Neither of them actually reproduce the phenomenon to show that it can be done anytime, anywhere and on demand. Unless you saw such an experiment in those videos - in which case you should provide the time stamp.

    What is Evidence?

    You are quite right. But videos are better than mere words. Anyway, I trust you not to fake it or alter it. Please perform the experiment - it will be so easy. You will be the only person in the world who has a video debunking this phenomenon.

    What is Evidence?

    A Wiki page where someone says they tested it is not evidence. Evidence is photos, videos, published papers. As a scientist, why don't you run the experiment yourself (very easily done, as you claim - hundreds of housewives have done it on video) and provide us the photos and video. This...
