If you wish to remain naive and ignorant, that's fine. But don't be wasting anyone's time by telling them there is no proof when you won't bother looking for it.
Your mistaken and I have explained myself pretty well in this thread.
Good luck to you.
No scientific proof has been presented to me. Only invitations to travel to another part of the country to expereince it for myself. The scientifc community does not care if I go, experience the most extreme ghost encounter known to man, and run screaming from the house. What proof do I have to give them? What do you have to give them?
"You have indicated as such by refusing to even respond to challenges to go to where the ghosts are to find out for yourself if they are real or not."
A personal challeng to someone ont he internet is irrelevant to science. It is not scientific process to challenge some guy on the intenet that you feel does not believe in something you do. Ive said it before. *I* am not the one to prove *anything* to. Are you trying to convince skeptics one at a time? The scientific community is where your efforts should be focused if you want to convince more people. Or are you content to discuss things only with other believers and never try to prove this remarkable phenemenon to the world?
"If you wish to remain naive and ignorant, that's fine."
This borders on insulting. I think it does your arguement no good to react as such when scientific proof is asked of your assertions. As I said before. I will be the first one reading the headlines when scientific proof is given. And it would be headlines around the world. If they were real I think it would be great. I am not colored but wanting ir or not wanting it to be true. Whats the line from "The Fugitive" when Harrison Ford keeps saying hes innocent to Tommmy Lee Jones...."I dont care". His job was not to judge him, just to catch him.
Your responsiblitiy is to prove it to the scientific community. Not convince some skeptic on the internet. Skeptics must accept scientific proof. Thus I as well.
"But don't be wasting anyone's time by telling them there is no proof when you won't bother looking for it."
Sorry to inconvience you with questions and open debate. Its not my burden to produce the proof of fantastic claims is it? I should not catch flack simply by asking for scientific proof.
"No, you are running because I am not mistaken. You are running because I have you pegged."
You are mistaken because you are not reading my previous comments very well. I dont care if you are anyone else feels that I am "pegged". Im glad you feel satisfied. However your not any closer to scientific proof of your claims because of it. Im having a hard time trying to undestand why I am singled out for this attention. I am not the issue. Scientific proof is. Not one person here has really made a good effort to explain to me why ghosts cant be scientifically proven. It all seems to be purely based on faith in ones beliefs and no more.
As for me running, I saw no more useful debate, made my points, and the thread was tired.
The focus seemed to be on changing my mind. Not on changing the worlds mind with scientific proof.
"Do us a favor and avoid threads like this in the future."
Why not welcome skepticim? Why not welcome the critical eye and scrutiny? Why not welcome open debate in a public forum? Why not welcome ALL the public to hear and freely dicuss things?
Sorry, I just dont undestand that last comment. Nor does it represent all participants in this thread. You just dont have that power.
If ghosts are indeed real. I *very* much hope that scientific proof is found. This is sincerely my wish. I imagine you would hope for this too.
Good luck to you.
