I agree that it's not very likely, but "not very likely" is not the same as "completely impossible". That you cannot see the difference between knowing and "pretty much knowing" is quite astounding to me.
If you are so sure that you are correct, and this thing is all bunk, what have you got to lose? If I hadn't applied the same reasoning to God, I would still be a Christian; maybe that's why I respect these kind of skeptical attitudes.
Quote:I know it and I AM (like it or not) just cutting out the middleman (because I know that's where we'll fucking well end up)!Cut out the middleman? You do realize that the middleman is SCIENCE here right? Perhaps you should take a leaf out of James Randi's book. He has a similar attitude (that these things are all bunk), but he actually tests them using the scientific method. This I agree with, because even though numerous psychics have done the test and failed, he still lets psychics apply. Why? Because one of these days he just might meet a real one.
