    Exactly, so it is a matter of your belief in my belief.

    Moderator troll
    Moderators who abuse their position of power to bait and harass members into a negative reaction. Usually accompanied with a declaration of innocence, similar to the post war reaction in Germany: "Ich Habe es nich gewusst".

    It is a denotion of the human mind and its desire to believe in patterns, or the folly of induction.

    Taleb has written an excellent treatise on it.

    Hence, it has nothing to do with gods and everything to do with nature.

    Thanks.

    her, the power.
    You label her as nature, I label her as god.

    What is experience but our perceptions colored by our assumptions and preconceptions?

    Why? All you're doing is adding another level of unnecessary confusion and complexity to an already simple concept. Nature has never shown to have anything to do with gods, but men have had much to do with gods over nature.

    If you murder someone, the person you murder will be paying for his own karma, so yes, it is all like a gigantic mind-videogame.
    But on the other hand, you will probably cause much suffering in this world, you will pay for that with your future suffering; you will suffer for yourself all the suffering you caused. If you kill yourself because you don´t want to pay for that, you are just making things worst, when you kill yourself, you will cause more suffering, and you will have to pay for that and every suffering you caused.

    Very nice explanation, specially since it was made by people who only understand 10% of DNA

    Other than the fact that when our bodies decay after we die, the matter which our bodies were made eventually go back into the earth, perhaps dissipating some day and becoming the matter of another individual, can you demonstrate beyond that an individual having another life as karma and reincarnation would suggest, ad nauseum?

    The body is just a representation of our true self in this specific dimension. Do you want me to demonstrate that each of us is a multi-dimensional soul? Then give me a year, I will go to gather some evidence in the fourth dimension and bring it to you man, but one minute there is like a year of this one, so I´ll go just one minute, gather some cool shit, and bring it to this dimension next year

    An interesting but rather long winded way of saying "no".

    hehe, touchè--

    some gurus like Sai Baba (to name a current one) can materialize stuff from other dimensions. Other evidence is just collections of thousands of testimonies from different folks from different cultures (just a google search will do the job).

    Not considering the fact that Buddha, the Hindus and the Egyptians (ammong others) believed this fact as well.

    1) Worth noting that he refused permission to be tested under controlled conditions.

    2) For the sake of argument let's say he can.. How does one exactly show that this "stuff" is "from another dimension"?

    3) It's also worth noting that I saw David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty vanish.
