Quote:If anyone can disprove the proposition that these things do not exist (which is at least a falsifiable hypothesis) by demonstrating their existence under reproducible, scientific conditions, then we'll have a whole new ballgame.I agree, and I thought that was my proposition. I'm all for conclusive evidence, which I believe requires the investigation of those cases which seem credible. As I said above, the implications of the "truth" of some of these claims would be staggering.
The jumping off the cliff argument was what I was attempting to use in our discussion about al Queda links to Iraq. I suspect that there just aren't enough leaps to indicate for some people a clear trend.
