I'm inclined to agree.

It's funny that you mention the sabbath day. I always found it ironic how priest led their parishioners in sin every week. Although Saturday is the actual sabbath (I never understood why it was changed) as far as the priest and the parishioners are concerned it was Sunday. So every Sunday all...

I was raised Roman Catholic and went to a catholic school most of that time. Here's the thing that bothered me for not picking up on it early on. When we learned about the Apostle's and how they went to minister after Jesus ascended they made use of the Holy Spirit or Ghost what ever you call...

My understanding is that the average person can deal with 150 relationships. I think it's called Dunbar's Number. Does that help?

Sorry for taking a bit to get back to you. I couldn't view the links you proposed (every attempt I made to find the God on The Brain documentary came across a problem) but I tracked down the subject matter involved. I have some familiarity with the subject matter. I even worked with one of...

That's hilarious and I'm not saying that sarcastically. I really find it funny. I have an issue with transposing letters and characters. I read backwards sometimes without realizing it. I should post a question for the next Paracast and see if Chris reads it the same way >:)~

The moment Pazuzu was mentioned all I could think about was "Futurama". Pazuzu is either the Professor's servant or his creation. I'm not sure. As for flying winged humanoids. I'm pretty skeptical. I agree that no winged humanoid has ever been depicted as having a suitable wing span. I would...

I totally agree. In my adolescence I spent a lot of time researching how to lucid dream and eventually became able to essentially do it at will. In my late twenties though I decided that we dream for a reason and I would no longer get in the way of the process. My dreams are still wickedly vivid...

That has been debunct. If I'm not mistaken a Sweedish? Team tried to reproduce the experiments and received different results than Persinger did.

I'm no expert on physics so I'm not sure if what I say next is correct. If anyone can clarify or correct it by all means do so. It's my understanding that wormholes like black holes are radio active and very small. Even if a wormhole bridges two points in space/time we as human beings would be...

I agree when you have an experience report what you've experienced. Make no speculation or jump to conclusions. If you are seeking help giving improper information will make it more difficult to help.

Yeah I couldn't help but notice how poorly I worded my thread. But as Chris O'Brien says, the Paracast Forum is filled with brilliant and thoughtful people. Following that theory I hoped you would all get passed my writing shortcomings. You have from what I can see. My essential thought on the...

Feel free to reference it. Shout it from the mountain tops if you'd like :)

Yep...ultimately all we can do is judge for ourselves.

I will define what a skeptic for the purpose of this thread. You are very right to point it out that a definition is needed. For purposes of this thread I'm using Skeptic in the popular sense meaning a debunker ie.: someone who has already made up their mind that a claim about a fact or a...

It doesn't necessarily have to be a disbeliever. I realize I may not have been clear on that. 1st question - I'd say it worked. People may like to watch documentaries speculating about the subject or fictional works about it but where are the large masses demanding disclosure or the large...

At first I had written this long response but at some point unbeknown to me I lost my connection to the server and was logged out. I couldn't post the response. Since then I took more time to consider what you wrote. I have to say Polterwurst has essentially responded for me. However what I...

1st question - don't know 2nd question - unidentified flying objects

A couple of years ago I was looking for podcasts about monsters. This was around the time when discussing redheaded giants descended(?) from the Annunaki was the current thing. I came across a skeptical podcast discussing it. The guest was a archeology professor (I don't remember his name). This...

You're not the only one that happens to. I think "just knowing" happens more commonly than suspected but is often dismissed as coincidence because it's so EASY to dismiss it as coincidence. If you were a skeptic you wouldn't even think it worthy of consideration. When I grew up I commonly...
