Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[Succubus]

I am still open minded regardless of what you say here because how would one of the nde/paranormal researchers respond to this post of yours?  I am quite sure they would have their own valid objections to this based upon their years of expertise.  So, can you see where I am going with this?  It is still nothing more than a back and forth argument that leads nowhere because it doesn't matter what arguments you or the proponents make; it will still be nothing more than an ongoing debate.

What I see in many of your posts is the fallacy of false equivalence. These paranormal researchers you speak of, who are they and what are their qualifications in the field? The term 'paranormal researcher' is not a protected term, anyone can call themselves a PR. In order to become an authority on the paranormal wouldn't it be prudent to first establish that the phenomena exists? No one in the history of the world has ever demonstrated any aspect of the paranormal. No one! So how is it possible for these characters to have years of expertise in the paranormal?

So when we have an exchange between scientists and proponents of the paranormal it is most definitely not a case of; 'the truth must lie halfway in the middle' there is no 'middle'. The null hypothesis is: there is no such thing as the paranormal. It's quite easy to overturn the null hypothesis, demonstrate ouija boards actually work.

You repeatedly state how open minded you are, is there anything you reject without a second thought, anything at all? Or are you prepared to consider any, and every, insane proposition put to you by cranks, nutters and charlatans?
