No one "knows about reincarnation" DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #1

Faith doesn't require base. tymorial Jul 2015 #2

True. gcomeau Jul 2015 #4

Yeo claiming superior understanding... zeemike Jul 2015 #12

There is only one reality DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #13

So you know what reality is then? zeemike Jul 2015 #16

The understanding of reality that science has built DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #18

Solid evidence of the big bang? zeemike Jul 2015 #20

It is a model used to explain the data DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #21

And reincarnation is the model that explains their data. zeemike Jul 2015 #24

Reincarnation is the model that explains their faith. Not data. progressoid Jul 2015 #28

That's my point, you are unaware. zeemike Jul 2015 #43

There is no data Gore1FL Jul 2015 #88

Well known by who? zeemike Jul 2015 #89

There is supportive data or there is not. Gore1FL Jul 2015 #96

Well there is more supporting data for the theory of reincarnation zeemike Jul 2015 #98

Please provide a credible link to an example of some of your data on reincarnation. Thanks. Gore1FL Jul 2015 #103

And the key word is credible. zeemike Jul 2015 #105

There is no credible data Gore1FL Jul 2015 #117

huh? Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #119

It is not an argument it is skepticism that we know all about things. zeemike Jul 2015 #120

What is your evidence? Some dude remembers being King Tut in a previous life? Arugula Latte Jul 2015 #123

Like I said in this same subthread, ridicule does not shame me like you think it does zeemike Jul 2015 #128

Again, you've provided zero evidence. Arugula Latte Jul 2015 #129

And that is all you will get from me. zeemike Jul 2015 #131

Huh, there's plenty of supporting evidence of black holes. cemaphonic Jul 2015 #149

That's a theory not a fact. zeemike Jul 2015 #150

Ah, the "just a theory" argument cemaphonic Jul 2015 #156

Well we know a theory is not the same as a fact. zeemike Jul 2015 #157

you sound like the Chinese Communists during the rape of Tibet uhnope Jul 2015 #25

I guess this childish response is the best you can do. DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #32

that's it? That's the response of the supposedly rational atheist? uhnope Jul 2015 #34

Sometimes, dismissal is the only reasonable response to irrational nonsense. DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #37

Sometimes, dismissal is the only reasonable response to irrational nonsense. AlbertCat Jul 2015 #45

then you're dismissed uhnope Jul 2015 #69

It's pretty pathetic that you dismiss the well-studied expansion of the universe Arugula Latte Jul 2015 #122

Well what to me is pathetic is group think and hero worship. zeemike Jul 2015 #126

Wow. Arugula Latte Jul 2015 #127

The big bang is nonsense people pulled out of their ass to create a myth of creation zeemike Jul 2015 #130

I observe that your response is to criticize data presented on the Big Bang brooklynite Jul 2015 #136

The data is not evidence of the big bang. zeemike Jul 2015 #139

The fact still remains... brooklynite Jul 2015 #140

I keep telling you, I am not trying to prove reincarnation. zeemike Jul 2015 #142

A trite cliche brooklynite Jul 2015 #146

And yet the extraordinary claim of the big bang and black holes. zeemike Jul 2015 #147

Not, no evidence...evidence you appear to disregard. brooklynite Jul 2015 #148

There can be no evidence of something that happened many billion years ago. zeemike Jul 2015 #153

The big bang theory was first proposed by a Jesuit priest cemaphonic Jul 2015 #151

No I think he was trying to explain the creation myth. zeemike Jul 2015 #154

Ah, yes...the "you weren't there" argument...lately espoused by the scholarly Ken Ham... brooklynite Jul 2015 #155

"Science has become dogmatic and lost the ablity to discover." Wouldn't it be more correct to say Cal33 Jul 2015 #143

Well I stand corrected...of course you are right. zeemike Jul 2015 #145

your dreams won't make sense except in the dream world bjobotts Jul 2015 #47

You're confusing the limits of presence knowledge DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #66

Only one reality? My laugh for the day. Bishop Berkeley would beg to differ. Hekate Jul 2015 #93

I have Jonathan Swift on my side DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #95

The great satirist never claimed there was only one reality, nor that he knew it. Hekate Jul 2015 #97

Do you have reason to think that he thought otherwise? DavidDvorkin Jul 2015 #99

Berkeley was a freaking nut job. Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #102

Nope. gcomeau Jul 2015 #14

What evidence would you consider empirical in reincarnation? zeemike Jul 2015 #19

You have a really low standard for evidence wheniwasincongress Jul 2015 #40

Well it is their standard of evidence that matters not mine. zeemike Jul 2015 #46

Is that you, Jeb Bush? wheniwasincongress Jul 2015 #60

Ah yes, the inevitable you must be one of them. zeemike Jul 2015 #62

Like the monks haven't thought of that. So easily fooled huh bjobotts Jul 2015 #48

I love how people are as emphatic about this being hooey as supporters are that its true. AlbertCat Jul 2015 #83

Yes. wheniwasincongress Jul 2015 #59

Which is precisely what's wrong with it FiveGoodMen Jul 2015 #72

Then it wouldn't be faith. tymorial Jul 2015 #75

Which is why faith has nothing to do with truth FiveGoodMen Jul 2015 #78

Linking faith with psychological disorder. how original. tymorial Jul 2015 #144
