Do You Believe In Psychics?

you should :) It wont take long I am sure of it! How was the move? :3 I bet it was crazy XD Do you have a really busy course load this semester? :<

I have been stupid busy with rl (both my parents going in for surgeries in the next two weeks /sigh)

What about the people who refuse to test/research/or be generally open to* theories? Is that practical Science?

You really didn't read the first few pages did you?

Reading comprehension is something you should really look into. The conversation was good, and pretty open until you came in with thinly veiled insults and just general stupidity. Even Yokhai who is pretty adamant about his standing here didn't act as childish and foolish as you. And I can say with certainty he is more intelligent than you in this matter.

I am pretty sure that you both are just /flame onning each other.
Stop that.

I'm pretty sure he contributed to the conversation when it wasn't an e-peen war when he started the thread :/

and he plays 14 so I'd say that invalidates your other part of the post.
don't take this as me bandwagoning with him either, I hate doing that.
I like to fly solo :D

I take inconclusive as failure unless it becomes more conclusive :/
I like to be conclusive so loose ends bug me.

I'll just request a lock from Krizz seeing as this thread has reached its pinnacle.

There by lies the whole science vs religion debate which would result us into going around in circles again =/

WELL. when your point of reference is to just believe things at face value it makes a bit of sense to believe that you yourself take things at face value, that and again.
If you do want to clarify, what is your position?
What do you believe, how do you come to the conclusion that you believe in what you believe?

I'll site Dean Radin

as an example then.

Conclusive (meaning smoking gun evidence of ESP) might as well mean failure as well in the sense that for many it means the end of their professional careers, with a few notable exceptions.

I never said to believe things at face value lol. All i've been saying the whole time is, look at the facts from all angles before you make your opinion on something. if the evidence is inconclusive, don't be so quick to dismiss it as a possibility. it doesn't mean something doesn't exist, and at the same time it doesn't necessarily mean it does exist.

my position on paranormal? i believe that there is a possibility it is real, and at the same time i believe that it could be explained by facts that aren't yet known. until we know all the facts about these occurrences, i'll take it for what it is. an unexplainable phenomenon that may or may not be ghosts/spirits. i do, however, find the subject very interesting and would like to know what causes the phenomenon.

i believe it's possible there are real psychics in the world. however, i think the larger majority of the people who claim to be psychics are phonies. as for telekinesis, i don't think it's possible considering the need for physical force is necessary to cause any kind of movement.

precognition on the other hand i'm not too sure about. there have been times where i would get a feeling that something was about to happen and then something out of the ordinary would happen. for example, wood shop class when i was in high school. the teacher was teaching the class how to use a router and i got a bad feeling about it right before they turned the thing on. my first instinct was to stand behind the person next to me(better them than me lol). not even 2 seconds after they started it up, the plastic casing that held the router bit in place shattered and the bit flew past right where i had been standing. a piece of the plastic casing hit the kid in front of me in the safety glasses but nobody was hurt. needless to say, that incident scared the ***out of me, not literally thank god lol.

idk if it was precognition or just dumb luck, but that router bit was sharp and i'm lucky i decided to move.

Again with the comprehension nonsense. Look, you're obviously a goon and have nothing more important to do here than post a 'controversial' topic and then troll the people it attracts. This is the last time I'll reply to you for any reason. You have nothing to valid or useful to say here... You just incite and insult.

Is that really all you're good for? Don't bother answering, I'm done with this thread.
