Sal, who the hell are your trying to convince? Yourself? I'm not trying to convince anyone but I'm enjoying the surreal spectacle of people's excuses like "people used to think the earth was flat but...." Rational thinking seems to have taken a sabbatical round here and I'm at a loss to explain why. I don't care if the guy didn't eat or drink for 70 years. It makes me no nevermind. If you don't like the conversation stop replying, or are you some sort of troll? Nor am I trying to convince anyone of the whether this is some grand achievement. All I'm saying is that the dude, if you believe the reports of the people who conducted the study, did not eat or drink anything for 15 days! Okay, that, on the face of it, that defies science. No, it defies reality. Science just tries to describe reality. And no one that I'm aware of has come forward to debunk the study. You missed this one then. The Indian Rationalist Society have been refused access, probably due to their success at exposing other frauds, and the Dr studying him won't release the videos.

It is just an anomaly, and that is what interests me. No, it isn't JUST an anomaly - if true. To think that you must have a weak grasp of the concepts I've been patiently explaining for what seems like my entire life. I refuse to type it all again. You are the one so anxious to discredit it, but so far the grounds for that are: 1) It's impossible according to medical science as we know it. Yes, impossible. Well, I must be unreasonable then. Imagine thinking that the mere collection of knowledge about human life and what is needed to sustain it was some sort of standard that fits everyone. Obviously some guy who prays a lot can circumvent the laws of nature with his magic nectar. Makes perfect sense. 2) If it were true, then people would be flocking to find out more about it. Sounds like one of your imaginings. But if it was real it would be story of the century. I think that's the thing that people here don't realise because you've all been brainwashed by gurus into thinking that magical stuff like this is reasonable.
