Again - one study -- one test subject -- no replication. Moreover, it can't explain the fact that people see things outside of their bodies that THEY COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY SEEN FROM THE LOCATION OF THEIR BODIES.

About a half hour ago...

I took pics....

An interesting way of looking at it.

I guess noone wants $1,000,000 then?

Bullshit artists stage their own bullshit experiments to prove their own bullshit powers to sell their own bullshit books. No mystery there.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I'm really wondering about this guy sometimes ... :P

So what's your problem with me tonight?

Unless it was staged, dumbass.

I bet you believe in TV Psychics and Faith Healers too. :helpme

Since you obviously can't read my replies, I will post my repoonse AGAIN

(1) This guy has spent his life trying to debunk supernatural phenomena. He's hardly objective.

(2) He wants to determine a different set of rules for each contestant.

(3) He does not permit an objective determination of the results. In other words, he wants to be the final, subjective authority himself.

So, what we have here is a diehard skeptic who will pay you a million dollars if and only if you can convince him and him alone (a virtual impossibility). BULLSHIT. Science doesn't work that way.

Why the hostility? I am willing to keep an open mind. The possibility of staging is one reason why a controlled experiment would be preferable. But the reports still need to be explained.

You don't believe because you don't WANT TO BELIEVE. A degree of skepticism is healthy. Fanatical skepticism, on the other hand, is just plain stupid.

Now you're just lying. Those are not the rules.

start here: http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html

I've seen some of his experiments. He does get scientists and other experts involved; any relevant people who might be required to perform tests or study hard data. And he lets the panel and the data determine if the experiment succeeded or failed. All in front of cameras.

I think you are a very sad and lonely, pathetic man. I think you are also clearly the dumbest person posting on this board.

Attitudes like yours baffle me. Mainstream science has dissed parapsychology for years. Parapsychologists are simply attempting to apply the scientific method to test the existence of paranormal phenomena. Mainstream science refuses to even ask the questions.

Mainstream scientists don't want to face the possibility that there might be something lying beyond the grave. If they accept such a possibility, they then have to accept a creator. If they do that, they will have to accept accountability for the way they lived their lives, and they don't want to do that.

Of course I "want to believe". Anyone would. The difference is I let the evidence decide, not the "want". It would be great if all this magical supernatural fantasy was true. It would nice if there were an invisible man in the sky to take care of us all. Imagine if Santa Claus was real too! But wishing and wanting doesn't make it so, no matter how many other people you convince to pray with you.

Since claims vary greatly in character and scope, specific rules must be formulated for each applicant.

= different set of rules for each contestant

Ive heard stuff about his hippie by me that gets into states and has them. He is fucking WEIRD!

Do you think he would EVER pay if someone did provide evidence? The problem is that nothing is ever 100% conclusive. He could always say that the results are open to alternative interpretations and be done with it. If he was someone who was completely objective, I'd take him seriously. But he's been on a crusade to debunk paranormal phenomena for years.

nice.

I've always been a big fan of the reality bitch slap.

He's a non-scientist who likes to pick and choose his subjects. He picks the loonies and runs away from serious contestants.

I always experience that, it's a bit scarry because there's always a possibility that you can't go back to your body. Some spirits might invade your physical body.

hahha

Did you just wander out of some amazon jungle tribe?

How can people still operate this way in 2004?

:ugone2far

And ONCE AGAIN the atheist shoves his 'opinion' down our throats.

out of body experience?

yeah it's called mescaline man!
