you have no ground to stand on, ant.

none.

and no credibility.

there you go demanding proof while dodging, at every turn, every question ever put to you about the blatantly hollow bullshit you post.

What we really have here in progress, people, is something called "selective skepticism"

People who claim being skeptical also means being "scientific" are not skeptical of highly abstract concepts of fields of "science" that rely strictly on abstract mathematics to depict aspects of nature that can not be observed or tested.

We are skeptical of dear old granny and dear old grandpa's pseudo scientific claims but speak freely about determined aspects of nature that can neither be empirically verified or falsified.

Sort of like a weight lifter who doesn't really want to do the work it takes to be strong.

dear mr. strawman;

try to stay on topic.

You should be proud of me. I'm actually coming to the defense of Auntie Interbane.
I say she may not know what she's talking about, but neither do you, really.

What? She was full to the nostrils with fecal matter. Her cold reading can and has been tested, from others performing the same thing. From me when her questions failed.

What this thread is about, ant, is the misuse of scientific ideas, not selective skepticism. Sure, string theory is borderline, but there is large enough consensus from the scientific community that it warrants being posted in this thread. What my aunt was talking about - the "vibrational harmonics of my karma" - is a misuse of the idea behind string theory. If you want to claim that it's a testable phenomenon, then go right ahead Deepak, but it is not the same thing as string theory.

Oh wow! I didn't know that!

Just another episode of Interbane educating us all!!

Thanks!!

I think you're the only one on the wrong page ant.

One thing I like about science is that it's so scientific.
Next time tell auntie that.
