Yes I argue with logic.... which actually requires a brain. LongDip on the other hand, argues with the LACK of a brain. He is incapable of comprehending basic logic. Of all the people on ET, LongDip needs the logic primer more than anyone :D But the real pathetic part is.... he...

Strawman fallacy. I didnt say ANY witnesses word on ANY subject would not qualify as evidence. Im talking about the instance we are discussing. Someones "WORD" implying that someone else has supernatural clairvoyant powers would NOT hold up in any court of law. peace axeman

Ahhh.....was reading too fast. In any case.... whats the point? Its not verifiable, or replicatable, and someones "word" would certainly not qualify as enough evidence to accept the claim as true in a court of law. And science requires even MORE proof than courts of law do. So whats...

Hi Longshot you dumb fu** Hey look everyone... my personal stalking bi*ch has showed up again, right on time :p Not only that.... he posted TWICE as himself and randynutts! LOL. Geeezuz longshot, you got enough aliases buddy? LOL :p peace axeman

LOL :p A true intellectual has spoken! Cant ya tell?? :p peace axeman

An analogy for you rabbi: 1) I claim that a die I have is fixed, and tends to come up 6 twice as often as 1,2,3,4,5. 2) I allow you to roll the die ONCE. 3) You roll the die and it comes up 3. Based on your observation , can you determine if the die is fixed? True or false...

Doesnt solve the problem. He could swear up and down that he visited this rabbi and that the girl got better and that could be TOTALLY true. However, it does NOT tell us that what the rabbi did is RESPONSIBLE for the girl getting better. That is my point. You have no proof of a...

When you are lying, you are purposefully deceiving someone. So I do not think you are lying. So the answer is NO. As for your statistician friend, an anonymous statisticians answer posted to this board would indeed be worthless hearsay. Have him log on with his real name and POST directly...

Yeah...its bullshit. The other day my IB quotes got all wacky when I wasnt watching. My P&L showed a profit of over $10,000. I was ready to hit SELL ALL AT MARKET and call it a day. Ya think my broker would have given me those shares back when I realized it was all bullshit and...

Yeah...they ADMIT it was THEIR mistake....but hey... at least they are consistent. THEY make a mistake: YOU PAY YOU make mistake: YOU PAY :mad: Is anyone really surprised? Ohhhh...excuse me Mr Broker....but ya see... I FORGOT to change the symbol on my order line last...

Exactly.... you HEARD it from your FATHER, and now your SAYING it to me. The definition of HEARSAY precisely. Thank you for verifying this is hearsay. And no.... this does not put the burden of proof on ME. You are making supernatural claims... please provide evidence, or admit you...

Huh??? Thats because I havent read her story? WHATS because I havent read her story? Your not making any sense here. Again, why do you feel obligated to comment about something about which you have no knowledge? I DIDNT COMMENT ON THE STORY!! Try quoting me, I dare ya. :D Your...

My first post to this thread was an answer to hapas question... I answered NO, ive had NO supernatural experiences and then commented on it. *YOU* then replied and claimed I was trying to turn this into a religion debate (Which you later edited to say a philosophical debate), and a debate...

See Shoe.... here you show your true colors. You SHOULD consider ALL explanations as possibly being false. Thats how critical thinkers and scientists work. The phoenix lights are just yet another story. And again... I point out that you immediately jump to a "spiritual explanation" when...

1. "Blah Blah". Very intellectual, very scientific. A very rational and mature response. 2. "huge leap"???:eek: Wow, Axe, now you've really convinced me that you have no intellectual honesty. Hmm, let's see. Kid's sick for a year. Been in the hospital for a while, doctors have no cure...

Im not preventing anyone from posting their experiences. peace axeman

Most likely, the difference is in perceptions, not in reality. In the same position as these people, I bet nothing "weird" would have happened to me. Which also explains why nothing "weird' has ever happened to me. Funny how I seem to have this magical power that prevents all...

And of course you must zoom in on the most outrageous explanation when many other more believable explanations exist :D Learn to apply Occams razor and stop introducing unrequired third entities which you pull out of the blue. peace axeman

Actually... it happened to your great grand fathers sister as you said earlier. So that is hearsay. As for the sick child.... you spoke to some other rabbi, he asked for the mothers name...blah blah... and the kid got better. Your seriously gonna make that huge leap and credit...

Im not calling anyone a liar or self deceived. All im saying is that you cannot expect anyone to believe such stories on their word alone. This is not the proper way to accept new information into your belief systems unless you are ok with a belief system chock full of untruths. The...
