If anyone gave an example that couldn't be explained by any of the 4 reasons you posted above, you'd then attribute it to statistics. We've played this game way too many times already.

I'm sure plenty of people have had precognitive "predictions", but cannot prove them. I have had a few. As far as some prediction that was printed in a book, etc... none that I know of.

Wait. I change my mind. The Sirius Mystery by Robert K. G. Temple. The Dogon predicted some astronomy about the star Sirius. They knew its double helix movement with its twin star. They knew the twin star was there, for one, and knew it was heavier. Someone else may know more about this. The book is still on the shelf waiting for me to read it.

Let's have it then. This type of projective non-argument has no place in a serious debate.

Quote:

The Dogon predicted some astronomy about the star Sirius.



This myth has been thoroughly debunked - yet it still lives on in those who cling to such fantasies. The book about the Dogon was written AFTER the facts of the binary star were known in astronomy circles. Hardly predictive. This is the same thing as the Hopi and iron.

Debunked? Not from what I've seen. Cast into doubt, maybe. But not the same as debunking. Unless of course you can show that the Dogon didn't have such information prior to the discovery of the binary star system. Hypothesizing that the information came by way of cultural contamination is not the same as debunking the claim.

it hasnt been debunked...

While there are plenty of feeble arguments speculating as to how it is impossible, there is no proof whatsoever that disproves it, or proves that Griaule contaminated the Dogons.
What is fairly concrete is the markings on their pottery that was around much longer than the civilized worlds discovery of Sirius B as well as a nearby tribe, called the Bozo's have a very similar belief.

but, I also dont see what any of this has to do with the "challenge", since there was no real prediction based on intuitiveness. Either alines really did contact some african tribe, or the researchers wanted to play out some elaborate plan on an unsuspecting african tribe.

I've had some bizarre coincidences in my life that seem to have defied logic, but otherwise nothing close to accurately predicting something--if I could, I would have been famous by now, which would be unfortunate.

my kids keep telling me that I predicted this or that at some time in the past which came true, but I have no recollection.
quite a few things. I guess.
why not.
