    First I'd ask you, "what is 'true'?"

  2. You seem confused. I am not a creationist. I already stipulated evolution is valid.

    If you've refuted the location of the human consciousness A THOUSAND TIMES , then it should be very easy for you to quickly explain how the point I have yet to make is wrong.

  4. if you believe in psychics you have already proven that you are beyond reason and this will not end well.

    When you say "work", do you intend for me to use a definition of what's true as what's "most practical"? And what's that, the highest number, "most lives saved"?

  6. I believe in the possibility, free thinker, only the possibility. For someone with that moniker your mind seems ironically shut.

    You made the assertion that every single psychic has been debunked. I asked you if you could prove that and you simply went on to something else.

    Now you've moved on to insults; is this your modus operendi when you are unable to articulate your arguments?

  8. when you asserted that psychics are legitimate you lost all credibility. it shows you lack critical thinking skills so i wont waste time with your pratts.
    we are way off track from the why does god allow suffering debate. if you want to start another thread claiming psychics are real go for it.

  9. I asserted that there may be something to it. You were completely dismissive. Believing in the possibility of something not yet proven denotes critical thinking. You cannot disprove psychic ability. Evidence for it does exist. Police departments do routinely consult psychics, yet you are completely dismissive. How is that critical thinking again?

    Of the two of us, it would appear you are the one lacking in the critical thinking department. Here's a tip, calling yourself a free thinker doesn't actually make it true. It seems your thinking is constrained by that which has already been proven. If humans only subscribed to that type of thinking, Columbus never would have invaded America...because everyone knew the world was flat and if you went too far you'd fall off.

    I allow for possibilities, you shy away from them because they seem to make you uncomfortable.

  10. Can you imagine the ignorance level of someone who asks you to provide a formal proof for a negative?
