ME??! BWAHAHAHA!! YOU have made the GRAND CLAIM of the CREATOR! *YOU* must prove it or YOU are just MASTERBATING here!! HAHA!! YOU MAKE THE CLAIM... YOU PROVE IT! Thats the way it works in the rational world surf. but you dont know this do you?? i feel sorry for you surf and thats the truth ;-/
assuming the guy was not in on the act--- why could there not be natural powers / forces that we do not understand causing what you saw ?? surfer
C'mon - think of the programming it took to beat Kasparov in chess! And that's just chess which is a tiny fraction of human existence. The complexity of human relationships/interactions is much more complex in my opinion... But, yes, I do agree that humans (including myself!) are fickle and swayed by emotions/intangibles, etc...
Gotcha - I didn't know you were talking about that. Now I understand a little better what you were asking. And, yes, if we are simply being with "spiritual powers", then proving that before the Randi contest would be rational. As you can see, I am coming from a completely different viewpoint though. I do not see the supernatural as coming from men but as coming generally from spiritual beings and God....
This statement by YOU tells me in an instant that your mind is not quite as remarkable as you might like to think. On the contrary, it is quite prone to grave errors in reasoning..
We're looking at this diametrically opposed. I am saying it took a team of dedicated, brilliant programmers two decades and millions of dollars in hardware to beat a guy in the tiniest aspect of human existence. I am asking this: is it rational to assume that this brain happened by chance and w/o miraculous intervention? Another example: I met a 3D gaming artist who said she could picture in her mind what she studied in perfect detail. Any one who has ever had a vivid/lucid/spiritual dream/vision knows this to be true. This means that the human brain is a one man IMAX theatre. Tesla, I believe it was, could take a 3D picture, picture it perfectly in vivid detail with his eyes open, and rotate it three dimensionally. Think of the rack of equipment it takes to do that in the gaming industry, yet we do it right between our ears! Sorry, but w/ or w/o materialsim, the human brain is astonishing (even if people rarely use it to its potential)....
dude you are just out there flying with one assumption after another.. you dont need any proof or fact but your imagination
