[/I]That's a lame definition and I don't need you to translate latin for me, thank you very much.Like I said, present some supernatural phenomenon that you would like me to accept and I will present a list of conditions that will make me accept it.





answer 1)Lastly, millions of people saying something doesn't prove a thing. How do you know that they aren't making it up just to support a theory.

answer 2) I've at least seen pictures. It would be pretty hard to do and I don't understand the motive comes from. scientists want truth. Yes they want to get famous and yes you can find examples of them falsifying evidence but what you are talking about is just ridiculous. Enough scientists look at them and enough skeletons have been found to take it seriously.

answer 3) ahHHHAaaahHhaaaHHHHHaaahHHHaaaahhhHHHhaaaHHHH
Seriously dude? I mean, do you enjoy being ignorant?

You obviously do need a translation because your interpretation was way off. There are supernatural experiences all over this board. Make your own case, since you're the one refuting the existence of the supernatural.

Saying that enough scientists look at the fossils doesn't prove anything. You weren't there to confirm that. In a world dull of technology that can be used to manipulate images and other media, the best you come up with is "I've seen pictures?" I guess I am ridiculous because I'm questioning things and seeking answers. Your education has failed in a very serious way to convey the most important lesson science can teach: skepticism.

I'm sure the unexplained experiences of millions are falsified to support a supernatural theory and push some grandiose agenda. These people, scattered abroad the globe, can meet daily. Get over yourself. For someone so quick to call others ignorant, you sure are naive. smh...

above nature? bullshit. Everything is in nature. Nothing exists outside of nature. We're having a semantic argument, that's all. You can't even name one phenomena that you want me to give you criterion for acceptence. You aren't interested in finding truth, you're interested in having what you already think be right. Most of the experiences on this board can be explained by SP and HH. Simple as that. It is not the onus of one refuting something to prove it's non-existence (that's impossible as it would require infinite knowledge you fucking moron) but is the onus of the one who would like it accepted.

We'll, i've seen pictures in old books from before the days of photoshop but I suppose that 'they' manufactured them and put them in my attic. You aren't questioning shit. You are denying it. To satisfy you, you would have to go to the rift lakes and dig the fossils up yourself. You probably still wouldn't believe it. You would think that the scientists went around and buried a bunch of fossils for you to find.

Probably because they feel so bad about their pathetic lives (or are pissed off that their daddy didn't get them a pony for their sweet 16) and so they want attention and decide that they are witches or some bullshit.

The fact that people like you exist pisses me off to no end. How can a member of my species be so goddamned stupid?!?! It blows my mind

For the record, I think that reincarnation is probable, work on my chakras in my lucid dreams and think that there are fundamental connections between conciousness and physical reality. I am intelligent enough to recognize that there is no way, as of yet, for science to accept these things and that in the meantime, the findings of science trump speculation and personal experience where they do conflict. The Dalai Lama agrees. If there is a scientific explanation for something, accepting it does not make me, or my life, less "special". Therefore, I would not call someone ignorant for not believing in chakras. I would call someone ignorant for not accepting evolution. You are just stupid. You play games with words as if they are synonymous with reality. I'm done with this conversation.
