There are few common things that DeathCell said here that I want to respond to but in address to everyone.
Neither does anything else. There is not a single other concept that "has all the answers" - nothing does. It is better to ask, "What can most commonly offer you the answer?"Quote:
Science is the best way to improve our way of life, but it doesn't have all the answers..
It is also not disproof of something, of course.Quote:
Lack of evidence is not proof of anything.
This is also true of klampops. You don't know what those are, but I do, and they are real to me. You cannot disprove them. Thus, they could still be real.Quote:
Science has not proven psychic phenomena to be fake - thus, it could still be real
Also, the flying spaghetti monster could be real as well as there is no scientific proof disproving it.
This is not something to stand your beliefs on - it is flimsy and highly inclined to make you rely on dogmatism instead.
So have those people on drugs, hallucinations, dreams, etc. Just because you experienced them does not mean that they are reproducible to show to the rest of the world. They are just as real to everyone else as an imaginary concept if you have no means of reproduction.Quote:
I know psychic powers are real because I have experienced them
The only real reason anyone really believes in psychic powers is because they think it is real. It is a predisposition. If you do not believe in psychic powers, there is no means to convince this person otherwise (just like an atheist to a theist). However, I can easily demonstrate gravity or some other reproducible scientific concept to someone.
The above are not all from a single person, just general comments.
What do you think...?
