I have said nothing that has not been well documented and published in scientific journals if you would care to spend 60 seconds googling you would know that
you can go on "proving (without proof)
No there is nothing funny about it at all, you have conned yourself into the delusion that you have super powers which is an extremely dangerous delusion , many people have died because they went to people that claimed to be healers instead of doctors , at least with the charlatans a lot of them tend to know their limits
Here is the thing if you where a healer and could prove it you would be the first in history and would gain world wide recognition
When asked “what the was philosophy at new science magazine” the former editor replied “we think science is very interesting if you don’t you can f**k off”
Not personally no , but you knew that when you made your attempt at being clever
All that have been put to the test have failed to live up to their promises them and any others that have been examined been exposed as charlatans , the rest use the same methods there is nothing supernatural about healers
Here is the difference between me and you “I understand how psychology works in these circumstances you do not” that is assuming you are not setting out to deliberately deceive people , out of all the people on this planet that have claimed to be healers not one of them has been genuine ,if you claim to be genuine video tape your self send it to a tv station once you get tv recognition there are plenty of originations/scientific institutes that will be willing to put you claims to the test
I dont know but I not worried about it I willl find out soon enough
I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. - Mark Twain
Firstly it is not up to you to tell me how to behave, secondly I was not being argent and thirdly even if I was there is nothing wrong with being arrogant when your right
No it's not, it's a case you ignoring the facts that there is no disagrement amoung the scientific community when it comes to weather or not evolution is fact ,
“The president of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive.”
In all fair ness some people can have what for want of a better word can be described as "spiritual experiences" however these can be shown to have happened threw out history with every religion and it can be explained threw psychology , there is also this to consider , the human mind is extremely susceptible to hallucinations
No one is denying that science can be proven wrong , in fact it’s what true scientists live for because when they are proven wrong science advances and we get closer to the truth , that is what sceince is about finding the truth
we did not come from Primates we are Primates To be honest id have to look it up and im not in the mood Im sure with the aid of google you can find it your self Because this is what we have evolved into it has taken the amount of time it has to get here
It has been proven to the point where all legitimate scientist’s agree that it is fact
There is not a shred of evidence to prove that he does exist , more to the point science suggests that likelihood is he does not , the burden of proof is on the person claming that he does exist, and as yet no proof has been offered
you and I are going to have to disagree on that point
Mike I have to say that if it is true (and I trust you enough to believe it is) I am genuinely impressed , I doubt you will come away from reading it as an atheist , but if you read it objectively with an open mind it should be interesting for you to hear the other side of the argument , Id still recommend Letter To A Christian Nation by Sam Harris , It’s short and written in the format of a letter ,
By the way thinking about it I cant remember the name but there are a few websites out there that are basically book swapping sites (a few seconds on google should bring them up) all you do is pay the p+p (normally only on the books you send) it’s a great way to keep the cost of reading down
the op was a "non sequitur" arqument
almost half way to 50 pages it would be a shame to let it die now
That was my point there is no such thing as hypnosis because all hypnosis is self hypnosis , there is an old saying in hypnosis “if some on comes to you believing that in order to help them you must hit them in the face with a dead fish then pour cold custard on there head , you had better have a bowl of custard on the table and a fish in your desk drawer" when it comes to the things that can be "healed" it all boils down to psychology
First off I did not read threw the whole thread so forgive me if I am repeating what some one else has said ,
Lets get the TV evangelists out of the way first , they are complete scum that pray on the weak and desperate, people like beni hinn use blatant group hypnosis , and the ones that look into the tv and say stuff like some one is getting healed are doing what is called fishing if you have enough people watching you are going to get a few people that are desperate enough to believe that they have been healed ,
Now as for other healer’s (not the charlatans but the ones that genuinely feel they are healing) it works on the same process as hypnosis if some one believes enough that something can cure/heal them then it is possible to cure or alleviates certain ailments but it will in no way cure some one of a serious disease like cancer or HIV, there are some cases of spontaneous recovery however these are no more common then they are in hospitals
I have to second that , if every one was like your relative no one would ever go out on a date for fear of being rejected , what’s more the lady embellished when describing herself to you which says to me that she is some what insecure you did a good thing by spending a little more time with her
