If people really could talk to dead people, and control blackjack games, OK then in the name of science, prove it in a scientific way, and reproduce it, while authorities are watching. I bet you that 50% of the times you try this over a long period of time, the "spirit's" don't feel like helping you out... Just saying |
I only ever said, "A world created by consciousness is a different story than one created by particles running under rules." This means I believe, out the two, it is more likely. As it explains things that have happened personally to me, beyond chance.
The reason this cannot be proved, is that it breaks a rule - for individuals to have their personal beliefs violated. So it simply would not happen in front of those that do not believe it possibly could. The only way to prove this is for people to personally try this, away from doubters who would have their beliefs violated. If you want to trust scientists' official views on this, that is ok, do it, that is your choice, have fun with it.
Do you trust government advise on what to eat? Or do you try the "crazy" raw food diet that Steve says works for him. To see if it works for you. Do you take a teacher's strong advise that a certain type of job is the best job for everybody. And so spend years studying hard for it. That's ok, it's your choice, you live with it.
If you are interested in finding out the truth for yourself, start to find reasons why it could be true, and focus on them. This will start to shift your belief system. Start by questioning how much science really knows, start by understanding psychology, how scientists are just people, and can be biased towards the views of their group that they identify with. Focus more on reasons why they could have got the big picture wrong and how perhaps Steve is not making this up, or a little crazy for some reason. Then, after some time, the nice events will start to happen to you personally.
