Oh, and you can't prove a negative. Just a point of order. It is up to people making a claim in the positive to provide the evidence.
And extra-ordinary claims require extra-ordinary evidence.

Re: A challenge for the skeptics.
Remember the "Satanic Heavy Metal Cult" scare of the 80's? They had a number of people who claimed , along with the doctor who hypnotized them, that they had been sexualy abused by secret cults? Well, that was all nonce. Turns out the shrink who hypnotized them planted those memories while...

If science is a fairy-tale, then I guess your post just doesn't exist either.

No, now there's humans who think that they are not only the center of the universe, but the reason for it. What arrogance.

Here, it's a religion/cult that is growing on many campuses across the US, and in Britain too.

They seem pretty harmless, and have one heck of an after-life promise.

No, I'm not making a religious statement here, just a philosophical one.
Which is nonsense because reality was there before humans came along to believe it or not.

Re: Prophecy
Disregarding the rest of the 'stuff' you mention; your talking about the theory of the multi-verse. Multi-doesn't quite cut it though, that just implies simple plurality. I'm talking about millions of universes. If our universe was at the center (at least for perspective/relativity purposes) of the...

Re: With more and more people in the world; why.............?
Yet, the same people believe in God. funny how that works,huh. Not that I don't believe in God. Which one? There are so many to choose from. Krishna is nice and often very wise. As to why most people don't experience this stuff, it may be because it is very rare experience. Now, much of it is proba...

Re: Tibetan Personality Test
This test is non-sense. People associate animals, colors and commodities such as coffee differently. For example, I do not see Rats as an enemy. I know that they are pretty intelligent for their small brains. I have always associated cows and sheep with stupidity and the unquestioning acceptance of ...

Re: Prophecy
From what I've read in Victor Lazlos' books, and what we are learning in modern cosmology & physics, there may be multiple futures, multiples pasts and perhaps multiple presents! I've recently been reading Brian Greens' "Elegant Universe" and Michiu Kakus' "Hyperspace", and t...

Re: Prophecy
I think that they serve as potential futures, as warnings and as guides. but I don't really see them as fixed and inevitable. A self-fulfilling prophecy is one where people know about it and try to fulfill it. Crouching Jesus, Hidden Imam? Let's say, purely theoretical, some leader of a large Wester...

The psychic storm of Katrinas wake
In the last two years, since the Katrina event, I have seen a disturbing increase in unexplainable fits of murder and violence in the city of New Orleans, where I live. There seems to be a contagious form of insanity here. People are just snapping, committing murder and suicide, random violence tha...

Isn't it obvious what's going on? They are eliminating the people who can see the upturn in demonic influences, the increasing threat of vampires and other forces of supernatural evil.
