Hoaxes and the Paranormal
    #7785098 - 12/21/07 10:48 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Here is a huge point that paranormalists fail to grasp time and time again. Some hoaxes do not prove all sightings are false, however - and this is a BIG however, almost ALL (in)famous hoaxes had a large cadre of believers pointing to the hoax as definitive evidence.

This shows a near-total lack of discrimination on the part of the believers. They will grasp at anything, no matter how ephermeral, to shore up their weak position.

This is the same whether talking about bigfoot, prayer, miracles, magic yogis, ESP, UFOS, chi, telekinesis or whatnot.

Years ago, I asked for the absolute BEST EVIDENCE and when it was easily debunked the believers then said, "Well what about items 2 - 99?" I replied, "If your best falls flat then what does that say about you, your selection process and your innate ability to deceive yourself?"

Exactly, thus you can never be fully decided because new evidence can appear, a new event can happen that flips an idea on its head.

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
