I have methods to personally validate my own observations. I don't expect anyone else to validate them merely using their senses. Also, you are operating on the false assumption that my senses are the same as yours. They actually are not. I am different than you. Many people will say I am claiming "specialness" and they would be correct, however everyone is special in their own way so it all equalizes. Some people can take a look inside a mechanical contraception and understand it enough just by logic and sight to take it apart and put it back together. Some people can jump really high and that puts them in the category of high jumpers. Someone who is not a high jumper might say that the high jumper is special, but what would that mean? Does that mean that people who can't high jump are not special? No, that's a false assumption. There are many aptitudes of the human mind and they have NOT all been perfectly mapped out. I very well could be operating with a sense that you not unaware of the existence of. I don't have to get your validation for my ideas, only if I want them published in a scientific journal. I don't use that criteria for belief and I do not shy away from preaching strongly held beliefs. This is my right as a citizen in the western world.
that's rather selfish of you to hold back proof of god for the world to see. i think there's about 7 billion and change that would really appreciate this proof. it'd change a lot of perspective and stop some of the awful things going on around the world in the name of god
I do play by the same rules, however one of the rules is that you get to make up your own rules.
i wonder what einstein would say about that?
