quote: How can you be 100% sure that you've never seen them, even in a photograph? We already know that your memory isn't 100% perfect, just like everyone else's.
quote: But are they exactly the same in every single detail, or only vaguely similar? Unless you immediately drew a detailed picture of the building in your dream upon waking and then compared it with the actual building, how do you know you aren't just filling in details that weren't really in the memory of your dreamed building? Perhaps they are all from the same era or by the same architect and your mind finds a few similar details, then "poof", your memory is altered and now the buidings are, in your mind, "the same". A memory of something in a dream. You don't get much more amorphous and easily altered than that.

Doctors as a group, including neurologists, are pretty notorious among scientists for often being quite unscientific in their thinking. (MD/PhD's excluded)
In the same way I would be more apt to pay heed to what a neurologist has to say about brains compared to what a naturopath has to say, I am more interested in what a neuroscientist has to say about brains than a neurologist.

quote: Let me explain why I think it was relevant. You were giving an example of something that you thought gave credence to various "miraculous" or "supernatural" ideas discussed in this thread. I was not "harassing" you, but pointing out reasons your example was not very compelling. I do understand that my thoroughness can be offputting, but I simply can't agree that it was irrelevant.

Well, what if that "gift" killed it's mother when it came out?
It couldn't have been too blessed, because it died at a very early age, didn't it? Oh, and it most certainly is a real skeleton. Tell me, do you think that babies born without a brain are "gifts from God?" This message has been edited by schrafinator, 01-10-2006 08:53 AM
