Re: peer review of bluegenes theory
I like that the guy from Everybody Loves Ramond introduced Andy Thomson. I was wondering what he was doing for work these days.

Re: one question three answers
Hi onifre, let's try again
Hi RAZD, and yes, lets try again.
I could experience communication from a supernatural entity without experiencing the entity in question
Again, experience or imagination. However you want to derive that experience, for sake of your position, is acceptable with me. Don't feel like you have to be clever here, it boils down to two, and not because I say so, but because humans can only come to know ANYTHING in these two ways.
We do this everyday when posting here: we experience the communication without experiencing the communicator.
That's fine, you can know of the communicator by communicating with the communicator. It is an experience of said communicator thru a means of communication.
I have not argued differently.
This would be like the meteor event, you have evidence of the event, but not of the cause. It could be a meteor or it could be "Thor's hammer, Mjollnir" smiting the earth.
Can it really be Thor's hammer? Would that be equal to suggesting a meteor?
But we already have plenty of evidence of the supernatural, or there would not be religions, it is just not scientifically validated.
We have zero evidence of anything supernatural. All we have are claims made by humans. That is shit as far as evidence is concerned.
But in any case, if someone is claiming to know the supernatural, there are only two ways in which that person came to know of it: either thru experience or imagination.
If they heard of it thru stories, then they don't know the supernatural, they have only then heard of it. Like every Christian today has only heard of Jesus, but they don't know of anything supernatural about him. That is such a fact that they admittedly add faith to the matter because of the lack of evidence.
Again, it would be possible to experience communication without experiencing the source.
And yet it remains an experience, so what, if anything, is your point?
When you said, "lets try again," did you mean, "let me confirm exactly what you have been saying, Oni, but in a way that makes it look like I disagree with you?" Because you nailed it.
