I thought so. Same here.

Now, if you said “science > personal experience”, I would still have room to disagree. Haven’t scientific “findings” been proven false? Take almost anything that Aristotle said. There were many findings to the contrary. Take the classic example of a geocentric universe. That hypothesis was long ago not supported. There are so many examples that we don’t even know about because our Science textbooks won’t teach us those past failures and whatnot. Isn’t it entirely possible that a lot of what we “know” now is false? I mean, we might be getting a lot closer to the truth, but who’s to say that F=MA is absolutely correct all the time?

I have to disagree with this part. If personal experience deviates from what is considered normal, science is the process of considering which one is wrong and why. Scientific theories may be proven and/or disproven. Science is an ever-changing thing. It is a method for finding out the truth. A better way to say it is “scientific findings < personal experience”. You compare the two using science. If the findings are shown to be wrong, the experience goes into the finding to modify it. This makes it more accurate. If science shows the original findings were true, you look at the experience in a deeper perspective to see what actually happened, and study it. That is science, my friend.

I didn’t say scientific findings > personal experience. I made an argument against the hypothetical question. Of course, you make a better explanation yourself.

Well here’s one thing - we can’t show you anything as we’re on an INTERNET FORUM and you’d pass it off as cheating even if we bothered posting a video.

Why should we waste our time trying to make you believe it is possible? We shouldn’t. If you don’t WANT to believe, which is the case, then GET OVER IT and STOP pestering us to prove it. If you don’t want to believe, even if the evidence was dancing in front of you, you’d ignore it. Dismiss it. So basically you’re MOCKING US because we CAN’T PROVE IT. No one can.

oh ohoh why soo aggresive coooooll dooown !

[jagsaw]

yeah okay that was a bit over the top.

I mean, there’s a lot of things we as humans don’t understand. So we shouldn’t say it’s impossible unless there’s no evidence against it. It’s like innocent until proven guilty… or maybe not.

Yeah, erm, LA DE AHDHA!!

uh oh… no one’s saying it’s not possible… they’re just saying they don’t know. oh crap…
I’ll shut up now.
