Evidence of a scientific nature, peer reviewed by highly educated and experience people in the related field. Anecdotal stories about God answering prayers does not even begin to qualify.

I find it depressing that people still don't have a basic knowledge of the Scientific method works.

The entire point of the scientific method is it can only be used to observe reproducible, i.e 'dumb' behaviours. It falls down completely the moment the thing you're observing is aware of that fact. So the supernatural, by most definitions, simply doesn't fit the empirical data-gathering methodology of the scientific method.

What you say has some reasoning to it, it opens the door for any phenomena to be considered possible, which of course is plausible however so improbable that it can be safely ignored.

- kind of moronic ill-thought out twaddle produced by sasguru in fact.

You mean like my insistence that it's far safer to fit 4 winter tyres than 2 - as mandated in Germany, Finland and Austria?

You sound like an arts graduate who has picked up science later.

The opposite, I have a Computer Science degree, but now doing a Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree. I have always been a ferocious reader of both realms of knowledge. I actually find people who have interest in only one are usually bores and have a deficiency of some sort.

I have received a negative comment on my profile about one of my posts on this thread. I would like to state all posts are just my opinion and I hope I haven't caused any offence to anyone, I am used to hearty debates with people with polar opposite opinions but we always respect the others right to an opinion.

You do sound a lot like assguru you know: full of self important horse tulipe carrying very little weight intellectually.

Did you mean voracious or do you turn the pages aggressively?

Nah, just angry in the 'why don't I understand this tulip' way...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to fckvwls again.

Nope I meant what I said, maybe a dictionary is in order? To save you some time here is one definition

"extremely intense"

I like to inject some originality into my phrases.

Nobody said it was safer to fit 2 than 4. NAT suggested it was safer to fit 2 than 0. HTH.

'safely' is a debatable conclusion to draw
