Oh, that's easy enough then. Been there, done that. Didn't work.

Yeah, I mean you can dress it up in your particular religious flavour, but what I'm really interested is in the problem I've outlined which you've ignored twice now:
FtR Wrote:Drich Wrote:Dreams/visionsWoah, woah, slow down! You're already on a whim claiming then that God interferes in nature to produce these revelation? I'd like to know how please.
As I explained, we can think of ourselves as closed systems and anything that comes out of us was from our own brain. Anything that enters came from the environment. Now you sir are already claiming that you're receivin information from *somewhere*. I'd like to know the science behind it as your claim implicitly proposes that nature is being messed around with. Therefore I should expect to find empirical evidence.
