So then you're saying we have nothing in common. Forgive me for trying to break down a barrier with you.

Did I say that? You're being a dick.

All the great physicists? Struggle with a "concept"? Your claim that physicists struggle with the "concept" of gravity is as vapid as your defense of MT. Go read an article and see what physicists are saying about gravity nowadays and see how much they struggle to understand it still.

The evidence you provide must be demonstrable, just the same as evidence provided in a court of law.
Well...if your nephew proves what "gravity" is, I'll prove what "spiritual" is.
Okay, okay, what just happened? There is so much fail here, that I don't know where to begin. First of all, what does my nephew have to do with my claim. <--- Rhetorical question. The answer is obvious: he doesn't. You were being a dick again. Second, I didn't even ask you to prove what "spiritual" is. I asked you to define it. Can you define it? Will you define it? (How many different ways does one need to phrase this question before you get on board with answering it?) The logical follow up is to prove to us why we need to be concerned with spiritual matters. It's your claim, so the proof needs to be on you.
Just as someone is innocent until proven guilty, a claim is false until proven true

I am breathing air, or, more precisely, my body is processing nitrogen (78.09%) and oxygen (20.95%). The remaining 1% is made up of argon (0.93%), carbon dioxide (0.039% as of 2010) and other trace gases (0.003%). Water vapor (water in its gaseous state) is also present in the atmosphere in varying amounts, by up to 2%.
LOL! I want to see the chemical analysis! I think there may be a little N02 in there!hock:
Now that you've had your fun, why did you ask me what I'm breathing right now? Do you need me to to demonstrably prove to you that all those facts I threw in there are true? I can give you my evidence, so can you give me yours?
