Those who believe in astral travel, astrology, ESP, communication with the dead, etc. constantly and consistently invalidate, negate, obliterate and try to prove that those who don't believe, or who haven't decided, are wrong. And when the skeptics request some sort of proof or evidence, the skeptic is brushed off and often told, "If you don't get it now, you never will so I'm not going to supply evidence."
It works both ways. |
You keep saying this but their is evidence for ESP, out-of-body perception and mediumship. The evidence for ESP, albeit, is stronger than the evidence of the latter two and I'm not really convinced yet by the mediumship experiments put forth by Gary Schwartz and the like, but the evidence is out there. At best the skeptics may bother to look at it and explain it away with the usual claims of fraud or faulty controls or lucky guesses even when it is exceedingly unlikely and at worst they use their own ignorance as an argument.
Steve is just making the point that trying to convince people who are not open to those sort of experiences is a waste of time. If I never would have considered the methods and claims of psychic phenomena I never would have tried it, but I did and it worked.
