Nipper, you sound like you're going to tell me you know the Bible is true because the Bible says it's true.

But I know you're too smart to fall for a load of BS like that.

read the thread - s l o w l y - and see if you can discern why i was so emphatic in stating such....because you obviously did not read the previous post.

you wonder?...are you tired of being the only one?

your consistence reliance on insults merely slows you down further. :eek:

again...re-visit the irony in my discussion with TEA considering TEA's own position with others....the fact that TEA refuses to accept any contrary testimony as "evidence" or "proof" is condemning when TEA insists that TEA's testimony be accepted by others as "evidence" or "proof".

Your inability to discern this rather simple and mundane episode of hypocrisy has proven that your ego has so neutered your intellect that you actually think having your head up your own butt is the best way to keep your ears warm.

Wow subby, this really bothers you, doesn't it?

Well apparently I am the only one since others think you are. :biggrin:

This from the guy who throws them out in almost every post to people he doesn't like/agree with.

The issue I got involved with was you saying his testimony was not evidence. I was right, and you were wrong. You later admitted it was evidence.

Back it up subby. You have a nasty habit of just asserting things with no substance. At least I quoted the relevant posts proving my point about you.

It is a good gauge of how badly Themis is losing this argument by noticing that all he is basically doing is responding with insults. When he runs out of misrepresentations and has been completely annihilated by both missing the point of this opponent's argument and failing to respond, he resorts to being an 8-year old again.

Now be honest tobin. You know full well subby lobs insults all the time. I backed it up by quoting subby and TEA. Feel free to show me I am wrong by actually providing substance. You are among a number of people who just like to assert things as though that establishes it as fact. Is it really hard to back up what you want to assert. I suppose it is for assertions that have no facts to support them.

It is understood that animals know when an earthquake is about to happen or a terrible storm is coming. Are you suggesting that even telepathy is out of the question?

'Infrasound, sometimes referred to as low-frequency sound, is sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second, the "normal" limit of human hearing.'
'Animals have been known to perceive the infrasonic waves going through the earth by natural disasters and can use these as an early warning.'

I didn't think of telepathy up to now at all, but YES.
There is no scientific investigation corroborates telepathy.
Maybe DMT or datura can help; if they may cause appearances of never lived persons, then they may cause anything. Telepathy, detecting water, finding captain Kidd's treasure, translating nonexistent languages, reassign angels with flaming swords...

ouch...it actually does - you should read the scriptures before you so earnestly condemn them.

Hebrew is quite clear, and deliberate, in its use of telepathy.
reference information about Abraham's servant seeking a wife for Isaac.
also reference Psalms
and the Torah teaches about the 5 powers of the soul...guess what?...yep...telepathy is one of them.

In Hebrew the root for telepathy (telepatia) is rooted in the word for prayer. God is noted several times of having telepathy throughout the scriptures. Also learn about the tzaddikim.
