Telling someone that they're an idiot for believing something just makes them believe it more. If you want to stop people from believing in fairy tales, teach them science and reasoning.

   6   11:40pm Sun 13 May 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Belief in the spiritual world is like belief in a flat Earth; it's not a matter of opinion nor is it subjective. Either the hypothesis is true and verifiable or its false. If it contradicts observation and the laws of nature, then it is clearly false as do both the spiritual world conjecture and the flat Earth conjecture. A socially accepted lie is still a lie.

There are mediums who can receive messages from the other side, messages from complete strangers and information which could not be known to them in advance. There are numerous cases of patients "dying" in hospitals only to wake up later describing what has happened to them, including medical procedure details performed by doctors and recalling conversations people had in another room during that time.

Examples please of a medium knowing something that she could not have known in advance by any method, including Cold Reading, looking at public property records, marriage records, etc. If one has a NEAR death experience, one isn't dead yet. It's better and more simply explained by oxygen deprivation and/or DMT release in the brain. "The simpler the explanation, the better".

That's another excellent yet simple explanation. Homo Economicus. A Legendary Creature, like Bigfoot, claimed to exist by Pseudoscientists. Not properly anesthetized? Do you understand that those people flatlined? Clinically they were dead. No pulse no brain activity registered on medical equipment. Yet later on they would describe what was happening in another room outside the operating hall.

HINT: Ask at your local red cross, or be sure your place of employment has one of these devices. The hospital has even more impressive tools, such as this: After all, how do they do heart surgery (much less transplants) without them?

If there were anything supernatural at all, someone would have claimed the million dollars already.
