Here's my question: why are we still bothering with this lunatic?

I'm serious: he's had over thirty pages to get to something approaching a point, nobody can claim we didn't give this odious little moron a chance. But the only point he seems interested in is how wise and deep and always right he is, so why the hell should any of us continue?

I can't put enrico on ignore, and if he has any grievances that he goes to the mods for, he'll get a fair shake from me, just as any other user would. But I'm done here; frankly, I think the guy should have been banned long ago.

No doubt he'll take this as evidence of his own victory, like I'm running away from his bold, unevidenced truth. To that, I can only say that I don't care; the mistaken impressions of the mentally ill need not affect my world in any way.

Enrico's 'victory' (?) will only happen in his head, which to be fair is where he lives his life.

But you're right, he definitely is mentally ill and quite dangerous. I almost feel sorry for him, almost.

We have already exlained, multiple times, why you are wrong Enrico. There is nothing more we can do to you except advise that you educate youself more on logic and reason

What is logic?
Is logic believing in something that come without evidence or the opposite?
You were backing up a guy that said that life is finite without bringing any evidence forward.
Sorry i can't take this crap from you boy.
Hypocrisy is one of your many problem.

......and for god sake, Dynamo is not a real magician!

What evidence you got to say this or that about him?
Do you know whether is using tricks or has he got mental powers?
What about Christ?
Was he using tricks or was he really able to do things with his mental power?
Thousand of people witness both guys doing extraordinary things.
Until you are able to find out solid evidence that they were or are not using tricks everybody is entitle to think whatever they like.

from http://beforeitsnews.com/beyond-science/...42926.html

Did ancients possess knowledge from civilizations that have been lost to science? There are many stories of people levitating throughout history. One from the modern era concerns the Yogi Pullavar.

Yogi Pullavar, also known as Subbayah Pullavar, was an Indian man who on 6 June 1936 was reported to have levitated into the air for four minutes in front of a crowd of 150 witnesses.

Yogi’s feat was publicly observed and photographed in an exhibition that occurred in South India. The feat was executed around noon on a sunny, cloudless day and in an area where visibility was not obscured. The Illustrated London News printed the story and photos which were taken from various angles by P. T. Plunkett who was a witness present that day and scrutinized the entire event.


Yogi Pullavar’s assistants erected a small tent in an open area where Pullavar began by ritualistically pouring a circle of water around the perimeter of the tent. Shoes were not permitted within the area marked by the circle. Yogi Pullavar then entered the tent where he remained hidden from view for a few minutes, after which the attendants then removed the tent. Once revealed, Yogi Pullavar was seen suspended horizontally several feet above the ground. He was in a trance, lightly resting his hand on top of a cloth covered stick.



It was asserted by witnesses present that Yogi did not exert pressure on the stick for support, but instead used it as a point of reference. Many photographs were taken from various angles of this exhibition and witnesses present were permitted to thoroughly examine the levitation. They meticulously searched for strings, props and any means of possible support above, below and around the levitating Pullavar, however nothing was found.

After four minutes the attendants erected the tent around Yogi Pullavar to shield him as he made his descent. P.Y. Plunkett positioned himself so that the sunlight enabled him to discern Pullavar through the thin cloth tent walls. He reported noticing Yogi Pullavar gently swaying for a short time while still in mid-air. Finally, he slowly sank in a horizontal position to the ground. The entire process took an estimated five minutes to complete.

When the tent was again removed, Yogi Pullavar was lying on the ground, still in a deep trance. Volunteers were asked to try to bend Pullavar’s limbs. His arms and legs could not be bent from their locked position. Attendants had to splash water on Yogi Pullavar and rub him down for five minutes before he finally came out of his trance and was once again able to use his limbs.

ooops!

Brilliant.

Just, amazing. Really, when Ricky here dies can someone get his brain for analysis? I'm fairly adamant there must be some sort of disability that has retarded his brain to a point no other human has ever attained (if that's the right word).

Rick, you realise you're a total lunatic and a danger to everyone around you, right?

I recognise that you are entitled to think whatever you like. However I also have the right to mock and insult the opinion of someone who cannot logically justify it.
This is your whole problem. You think that in order to disprove a claim, you need evidence that it is wrong or it doesn't exist, but you have it backwards. I can dismiss your claim that dynamo is a real magician on the basis that you have no evidence to support this other than an argument from ignorance. Since this is a logical fallacy i can dismiss this. Just because you don't know how he does his tricks does not mean that he is a wizard using magic. This concept is actually quite simple and you are the only theist on here who I actually think, doesn't understand it.

You start with the wrong foot.
You say......... how he does his tricks.......
You imply that what he does are tricks without bringing forward any evidence to back up your claim.
They could be tricks but they could also be the product of mental power.
Just because other people were found to be fake it does not mean that everyone that does incredible things is a fake.
You generalize far too much and beside is you that lack of logic by asserting something that is not backed up by evidence.
Fail again boy.

[pocaracas]

Just because other people were found to be fake it does not mean that everyone that does incredible things is a fake.

True, but it does spread a blanket of "Liars" on the whole practice.
So those that are not phonies, if they wish to clear up the face of this practice, should step up for scrutiny...
The fact that they don't do it is indicative of something, care to guess what?

Just....

Nope. Can't believe this is not a poe any more.
