Re: The anecdote of Moon landing

There have been a number of "precognition hotlines" on the internet in the past, with thousands or millions of hits - _but their "batting average" is flat ZERO_. One such website is http://thepremonitions.com . James Randi, now retired (randi.org), had a million dollar challenge for any type of

It seems like both you guys don't know much about the scientific method as applies to psi, especially if you can make statements like below. You have ignored maybe 250 years of studies by 100s of well-qualified scientists (overseen by notables such as Dr Isaac Asimov, Dr Carl Sagan, Dr Michael

Re: The anecdote of Moon landing

ary to your rationalizations, the dreams matched of course. The problem is that you expect from telepathy to be 100% correct, when not even experiments in physics are not 100% correct. In QM the particles hit the screen all over the place. Based on your rationalization, QM is false. On Tuesday,

Your definition of telepathy is not part of reality, when no evidence exists, no matter how hard one searches for evidence of "telepathy". That little voice in your head that you believe (not know) is not evidence of telepathy. On 5/20/2019 7:29 AM, 'Cosmin Visan' via Everything List wrote:

Exactly, Terren! Cosmin, your "evidence" is mostly anecdotal or experiments made under poor conditions. They are made by Dean Radin, who, it seems, will believe, like my dad, no matter how many times he gets poor or no results. I did look at quite a few of those he had listed. Randomization,
