And all you have to stand on is your faith!  I love it when you 
religious kooks get rolling. "I am a true believer and I know the truth 
because, well just because I said so!"  I have experiments and data and 
you have absolutely nothing but ignorance and arrogance to back you up.

Want to try for my million dollar "prove Paranormal is hoax" prize? Like 
the Amazing Randi I get to select who wins.

Absolute lie. The Amazing Randi makes the final determination on all 
experiments. Lies have no place in science. Get the picture?

And the statement that there is no proof of psycho-kinetics exiting is a 
lie as well. Or don't you believe in the validity of statistical 
analysis. AH! QM is a fraud too? Oh wait! I think I DO go along with 
that one!

"The history of telekinesis is a history of frauds 
and fakery, both proven and suspected. Even many 
researchers studying psychokinesis admit that the 
data fall far short of scientific standards of 
proof. But they face an even bigger problem: there 
is no known mechanism by which the human mind could 
move or bend material objects. Even if our brain 
waves could somehow influence objects, the laws of 
physics demonstrate that the waves don't extend 
beyond a few millimeters from the skull.

"People who claim to have telekinesis are mostly a 
thing of the past. Of course, if people really did 
have the ability to move objects with their minds, 
they would likely not waste their time being tested 
in laboratories but instead becoming rich in Las 
Vegas altering dice rolls at craps, or as top sports 
stars fixing golf shots."

world of the burden they place upon it.

Absolute nonsense arguments. A history of fakes does not prove ALL are 
fakes and frauds. Nobody admits that ALL data falls short of scientific 
standards. If you know what happened in "all" experiments, then clearly 
you possess superpowers. Go read what Crookes has to say about people 
pooh-poohing experiments who weren't there and didn't even bother to 
read descriptions. Basically you are saying you are an all-knowing 
genius and all scientists who experiment with such phenomena are 
incompetent. It takes little logic to see that your arguments are worthless.

Please explain your "theory" that when no mechanism is known to 
"explain" soemthing that this means it can't exist. That's really 
terrific science! Do you do magic tricks like The Amazing Randi too? I 
also love your theory that if you don't know of how something works then 
NOBODY can know and ever worse it means that such phenomena can't even 
exist.

Your ignorance and arrogance is truly amazing.

(You may now name-call and ridicule to show how much "science" you know)

I trust you are aware that people who appear to have a talent at 
altering dice etc. get banned from casinos. Clearly people with the 
money at least SUSPECT that something at times may be going on. They 
just don't have your faith.

> Source: http://www.livescience.com/28119-telekinesis.html

Gosh a "skeptical Science" website! I heard that if it's on the INTERNET 
it MUST be true! You do know there is a "skepticalscience" website that 
"proves" global warming is true (in spite of no temperature rise for 17 
years). I"m sure you believe in glow-bull warming too. That kind of 
fraud seems right up your belief alley.

Clearly you are the one with the religious beliefs here. Why do those 
who are shown to be morons always wish violence and death upon those 
bringing up the data? Anti-science jihad, I suspect. Do you smash 
antiquities too? I suggest you take a little time to forget your 
religion and learn how science actually works. You might actually one 
day discover something that you never heard of before!

Actually, ROlf, it hasn't been established that *I* possess such powers. 
However, it HAS been established that such powers exist. An ability to 
modify not only coin flips but REAL random number generators. However, 
generally speaking there are strong indications that everyone has such 
powers even if latent. For example it takes no special "talent" to 
develop remote viewing.

Of course, I wouldn't expect you to actually be familiar with such 
experiments than I would HVAC to have studied any science.

It's always best to just give your opinion assuring everyone you are 
correct without ever having looked at any evidence for your opinion.

This is what is called "the scientific method" in your and HVAC's world.

Is that why I see ugy fat girls showing up at nightclubs one half hour
before it closes??

..and the ugly guys wait outside when it closes to pick up the drunk
chicks that are on their way out.


liquor is quicker..that is why God made beer.
