On conspiracies.... I kind of take a middle road on them. I think that there are conspiracies... but at the same time I don't think everything is a conspiracy. I think you have people like David Icke... who I think is a bit extreme. But then you have typical skeptics who treat everything...

I am not a Brit.... not even a European... but I have been following brexit quite closely... I think its a larger symptom of anti-establishment sentiment. People in the west are fed up with business elites, media elites etc..... the establishment is losing credibility. The mainstream media and...

Cause I think at a deep primal level... we feel were are not getting the truth about our history, who we really are and what's going on from any of our "mainstream" outlets whether it be science or religion.

Lol Sean Carroll, I remember him making arguments about parapsychology saying that it violates the laws of physics. It only does if you take an certain interpretation of quantum mechanics. He assumes a-prior that materialism is true. He totality begs the questions, there are idealistic...

Hey everyone, Thanks for the replies.... did not except to get this many replies! I have mulled over this.. I just going to let this slide and continue on with the relationship. She is a very sweet gal and I think this is something minor in the big picture. By the way, I used to be at the...

Hey Sciborg, I don't know if suffering and evil is logically incompatible with an all good and powerful god, sure it is defiantly a strong argument against it, but I don't know how you can show it is logically inconsistent. Someone can always say that there are reasons that evil and suffering...

Hi all, Just curious, to any of you that are married or in relationships, what sort of beliefs does your spouse or SO have? Do they have similar or are they different? I have been seeing someone for about two months now. She is a graduate student and she (in my opinion) everything you could...

I actually have thought about this too. Nice post. Maybe this is both a prison and school at the same time. Maybe you go into prison with the objective of breaking out. I have also thought about unseen forces interacting with our reality and the fact that our eyes only take in a fraction of the...

Yeh, you may be right. But it seems to me there is some sort of larger, broader trickster element to anomalous things in general. Any how people forget that materialism is a metaphysical position too, one I think there is weakness in. There is so much skepticism about these things simply...

I kinda of agree with this. Especially with psi. More then any paranormal topic, I feel this has the most persuasive evidence to back up its existence. Empirical evidence and thousands of first hand testimony going back hundreds of years. I also feel that interest in these topics is considered...

Yeah, Eben Alexander is not the right person to do this.... not even Moody I think that Bernardo Kastrup has enough knowledge to demolish any argument being put forth by materialists... Has anybody read his book yet?

I have always wondered about what "dreams" really where. I think one thing in my opinion that materialism has a harder time explaining are so called dreams which feel just as real as this waking reality that we live in. What is real? Why is a reality that you visit in an out of body experience...

Interesting replies Alot of it is based on just my own experience in higher education and some of the documentaries I have seen concerning controversial subjects. For example the documentary expelled " No intelligence allowed" detailing the ID movement.. I am not saying the movement is free...

Hey all, Just a thought, I was thinking about how much prestige the scientific community has gained recently and how much more influencing its becoming in the way we think... it is the number one cause of people questioning religious beliefs (not a bad thing though mostly lol). But I also feel...
