[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6275688, member: 89838"] number of time psychics have been right borders on 0. If psychics were real and available, why don't the police use them on missing persons cases and other times when they are stumped for evidence? Oh yeah, they tried. Every time it turned out to be a waste of time. If psychics are real, why don't they win lotteries? Number of times Nostradamus was correct with his predictions? 0. And he was one of the most famous of all times. If I claim my last bowel movement produced a black hole, and display as evidence a shattered commode, is that proof that a black hole emerged from my colon? I said it. I have my evidence to prove it. Isn't that enough? No. Because it is an extraordinary claim, and it needs some seriously major evidence to back it up. So, maybe it wasn't a black hole, but a really potent fart. strong enough to shatter porcelain. would you believe that? No? Like the light at the end of the tunnel effect (which can be simulated by putting people into a blackout from blood loss to the brain via g-force testing), psychics and out-of-body experiences just can't be successfully proven. As for documentation, I'd be interested in seeing that. And seeing the results of clinical trials and demonstrations under laboratory conditions. Otherwise, what you have is mysticism, rumor, fairy tale, and possibly religion. Now I think it's time to watch Men Who Stare At Goats again. [/QUOTE]
