Re: To be fair to Iano...
Aren't those ravens, not crows, at the Tower of London?
Yeah but two of them are just there to gather the news and will fly back to their normal place on Odin's shoulders where they will tell him what is going on in the world.

Re: beyond a shadow of a doubt
If at the end of a prayer service, someone says to me "I feel peace", and I to, also feel peace, we have both felt the same exact thing. Of course this is an oversimplification of other parellel feelings that we exprience. There is also the fact that this happens on numerous occasions.
This of course does not "prove God" but it goes towards the evidence.
How does it go towards the evidence?
The two of you go to Taco Bell. You each eat four Buritto Supremes. You each say "I feel full."
Please show how that goes towards the evidence that God exists.
So let me ask you a question, you feel it is impossible for two people to feel exactly the same thing?
If there are 60,000 people at a footbal game, and the home team scores a touchdown, you don't think that a large percentage of people will all happy together?
Let me guess, you are going to provide some abstract meaning of the word happy now?
Great explanation of why your feeling is NOT indicative of anything but human reactions.
Those people who came in rooting for the Home Team will feel happy. But they had already placed their own bias into play.
Your example
  • preselects the participants.
  • educates and indoctrinates the participants towards a desired response.
  • provides the classic mob mentality reinforcement environment.
