Re: open minded debate
I completely realize this. And I know this is most likely not going to go anywhere, but at least he can't say we weren't open minded. Still I find the whole thing hilarious lol.
He even tried answering the question "How do you do research" with "I ask a scientist to do research"
Which is funny when the actual scientists are going "we have no idea what the hell you're on about".

Re: open minded debate
Every level we can
I believe I already demonstrated the impracticality of this:
"If Scientists were to attempt to find this particular wave which the brain transfers at (if we can even measure it), there are so many thousands of possible wave lengths that it would be like finding a needle in a haystack."
It's so unlikely that we would find it given our current knowledge of the brain that it's not even worth considering, really at this time it would be easier to catch the allusive wild goose.
All i ever suggested is accelerated funding to research the brain itself. To the end it could explain:
We are putting funding into it, Neuroscience, Psychology and Biochemistry. All three of these fields are doing a substantial amount of research on the brain. If we were to put more funds into it we would have to pull funds from other areas of research. We could propose to Churches your idea of researching Consciousness perhaps, but unfortunately because it cannot be defined and it has not been observed all we would be doing is guess work (unless we were to be deceitful).
Right. So let’s do research. Would scientists turn down funding to better understand the brain?
No, however really this proposition of mental telepathy research would be about as Scientifically effective as researching the ethereal rainbow that appears in the skies to predict world wide catastrophes. It's completely untestable, thus all we can do is theorize about it.
I'm not saying we have proof of ID. I am saying it could lead to proof of ID
Could, but that event seems SO unlikely.
I want to understand what we are supposed to be Researching
We are researching the brain, so what's the big fuss about?
Now unless you actually come up with something intelligent to say, I'm just going to abandon these posts, I can see I'm wasting my time. Everyone here has attempted to explain how the Scientific method works, and you just sit there with your fingers in your ears ignoring us.

I'm just trying to follow the logic here.....
Yes, I'm angry all the time, rawwwr.... Really, are we so juvenile as to insult each other with broad generalizations with absolutely no evidence?
So now you're generalizing me because I'm new? Gang approach huh? Did you notice that when you backed off and Tesla was the only one left that the others gradually stopped adding in as well, for the most part it was just me and Tesla talking (with the occasional outside comment).
In any case, I joined more to educate myself (and I won't be so naive as to say others, but maybe I could hope). I don't pretend to have been here for years; and personal attacks are not warranted.
Anyway, I think I've pretty well shown what I think on the topic, anything else I add will really not be relevant.
