62. mistaking opinions as facts
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 09:55 PM by simonm
Your arguments summarized:

1. No comment on simonm’s psychic test results based on direct observations.
2. If psychic abilities were real, Randi would have made someone a millionaire
3. The Proof Positive episode is fully debunked because a web site said so.
4. The Proof Positive show is worthless because it was made by Sci Fi and had low ratings.
5. No explanation for the remote viewer’s ability to determine the target’s sex, physical makeup, and bike.
6. No suggestion for a remote viewer’s ability to see the film crew’s shirt illustration.
7. Proof Positive is a 100% bullshit since it is a reality show. Their team of experts manipulates facts.
8. Simonm is a wishful thinker and true believer while I, Trotsky, argue with facts.

As an atheist, I believe in making informed conclusions based on available data. The data produced independently years ago and data from various reliable sources has led me towards the conclusions I currently share. If something new is introduced, I will consider it and adjust my theories accordingly.

I was hoping for a more rational discussion. Your arguments are mainly dismissive and full of accusations without merit. By any definition, I’m not the true believer here.

Thank you for your time and goodbye.
